Lindsay Lohan's Chat In Interview Magazine

Most of the time I want to dislike Lindsay Lohan because she seems tawdry and problematic, but then every once in a while she does an interview where she doesn’t seem totally full of herself or a idiot.  Then I can’t help but like her.  This is like one of those relationships where you keep trying to leave, but somehow get sucked back in, again and again.

On the meaning of celebrity:  People really have come to believe that I started in this because I wanted to be a celebrity. But that was never my intention. I wanted to be a movie star. But movie stars are not what they used to be.

On her need to be human:  You know what’s hard? I want to give back. I want to do all the things that will make me feel fulfilled. But whenever I do those things, people think it’s a press stunt or something.

On how her personal life has effect her career:  When I was in Dubai, there was still press lined up around the hotel. So I find it close to impossible to actually do that. I mean, it is what it is. This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that’s what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that I work just as hard as any other actress around my age, like Scarlett Johansson, but I just don’t get the opportunities that they get because people are so distracted by the mess that I created in my life. But that doesn’t mean it’s going to last forever.
