Lindsay Lohan posed for a dramatic black and white photo shoot in the newest issue of Interview Magazine. Lauren Hutton played interviewer as the ladies chatted about the downside to being famous. Lindsay revealed her frustrations and what she would change about her life if she could. Here are some highlights:
- On the public's perception of her: "The worst part is, in terms of what people see of me, I have become this girl who just loves to be photographed, doesn't know how to focus, doesn't know how to work on set, just loves the attention, knows how to go out at night, knows how to party. And you know what? I was 20 years old. I never went to college. And I lived maybe six months out of my life like that, doing something wrong, and then I stopped. God forbid I should have ever learned my lesson. But at this point it's so hard for people to even believe that there was a lesson to be learned at all, because they just think I'm wrong. "
- On what she would change about her life: "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. Because they do find me, and there's really no way of hiding from that. And the second that you complain about it, they say, 'Well, this is what you wanted, so this is what you're going to get.'"

- On why she started acting: "I just feel as though it's become a situation where people have manifested this caricature of who I am, and they act as if there's no real person inside of it. I mean, people really have come to believe-directors, producers, agents, whoever it may be-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 Lauren's advice to get away from it all: "But it's so impossible for me to actually do that. 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."

Shudoo
All those quotes are whining, whining whining... Its everyone's fault if she can't do or get what she wants.
1Could someone please explain to me what she does that is even remotely relevant to land her on the cover of magazines?
2The interview is awful, but she actually does look pretty good in the pics.
3I was thinking the very same thing Le Etiana.
4shes so beautiful!
5I can't stand her, but those pics are really beautiful.
6She's always complaining but, I love that picture on the left !
7She's beautiful, but these photos are very very photoshopped!
8Ha! That's brilliant... those are all the things I say about her all the time! Maybe she's more astute than I thought...
9I've noticed that when she talks about her drinking/drug abuse/whatever, she never acknowledges the fact that she was wrong in her actions. It's always because "other people don't understand" etc. etc. I'm so sick of her blaming other people.
10she looks pretty GOOD....beautiful
11she looks pretty GOOD....beautiful
12I don't like her...but damn I can't deny she is stunning in those pics.
13people need to give her a chance.
14She's full of crap. Why not admit she loves the attention? Plenty of actors screw up, get up, stay clean and are able to work and stay away from the media. This girl is delusional.
15Great pics. Give her a break. She's still young. Imagine if your youthful stupid mistakes were catalogued like Lindsay's.
16Wow I actually thought she was a model, I was getting a coco rocha vibe. I am impressed.
17Wow I actually thought she was a model, I was getting a coco rocha vibe. I am impressed.
18History has shown that people -- especially directors/producers/etc -- will put up with a lot of bad behavior as long as you have TALENT enough to put out a good movie/album/whatever and bring in the bucks. Robert Downey Jr. had his problems, but 90% of the public never called him a bad ACTOR. Or what about Axl Rose from the GNR glory days? Major issues, but the guy made some really popular albums. Her claim that her behavior is blinding everyone to her talent is completely baseless... she could probably model if she were taller, but that's about it, IMO.
19She does look gorgeous in these pictures, which hasn't happened in awhile. But I suspect that her trouble getting work has a lot more to do with her (lack of) talent than her past.
20tragic comes to mind. she ignores all warnings, yet we can see it before it happens, can't we?
21Its sounds like shes just whining and shifting the blame i really dont think her life is that hard you know?? Im not sure ive ever heard that shes acknowledged that shes made some pretty serious mistakes its always deny, deny, deny If she genuinely has the talent that she thinks she does then landing a decent role shouldnt be that hard.And seriously, career wise dont you think she really envys scarlett jo?? But she is beautiful cant really deny that.
22the photos looks great
23she actually looks good here...
24she actually looks good here...
25I love these shots!! The interview is "whatever", I don't really care about Lohan, but those shots are absolutely gorgeous.
26woohoo i love le etiana's comment above! haha
yeah.. true .. the interview is actually 'whatever' but the photos are great..
she got skinnier.. she doesn't seem to care about her body yea..
27wow she looks good with her freckles photoshopped out, the pics tweaked, and with a bunch of makeup on.
28i think she will make a good killer in the manson movie, but i just dont see her ever winning any awards.
29"I lived maybe six months out of my life like that, doing something wrong," - she's admitting guilt/blame RIGHT THERE
30and as for her lack of talent- Mean Girls, Georgia Rules - 'nuff said
Hack! She actually thinks she's as good as Scarlett.
31I find her very talented... !
32Scarlett is a wooden talentless wannabe along with the rest of Hollywood,the only thing this generation of thespians(if you can call them that)are good for is taking their clothes off.I think people are only waking up to foreign talent now in the U.S. That being said Hollywood celebs are a joke and have basically become a laughing stock to the world, the only thing all of them want to do nowadays is jump on the tabloid bandwagon and justify all the wrong that they've done,(like Brad Pitt's latest interview). They are all just trying to save face so that they can keep their celebrity. The awful thing about it is, they have most of us eating out their hand. It's a damn shame!
33... uh say what? how did mean girls display her talent as an actress whatsoever? she seemed at the very most sub par in both that AND georgia rules. mean girls was simply a good screenplay and was produced excellently, i've never greatly disliked her but it is obvious she's not exactly the most talented actress around.
i understand it must be unbelievably hard being followed 24/7 and people constantly watching everything you do, but you could have it so much worse. she should know better. doesn't she realize that while she's whining about these silly things that someone out there reading this article might be dying of cancer?
not to mention that whole "i can't even be a philanthropist because people will think i'm trying to get publicity" thing ... ahem, B*TCH PLEASE! she has got to be kidding, that sent me over the edge. obviously if your intentions are truly to do good what everyone thinks of you afterwards should hold no weight on what you've accomplished, she shows her true colors. DONATE ANONYMOUSLY FOR F*CKS SAKE!!! ahhhhh
34Scarlett doesnt have any talent guys.Lindsay looks great here admit it people.
35Wah, Wah, Wah
I have never had issue with her. I just read this because I liked the pictures, but sheesh STOP COMPLAINING! Take a little responsibility.
36She works hard?Oh really?When?
37Anyway,I can't stand her
I'm not sure about her working hard or not, nor being really talented, but i completly agree with some of you and what Lindsay is also allusively saying: Scarlett Johansson is absolutely overrated. Not only her talent but also her looks. I think she just got into a ascending media-spiral. And I also agree on what Lidsay is saying about movie stars of today: they are not what they used to be in the past when hollywood was just rising and actors were not only choosen by their looks and preferably young age.
38And I don't think she's only complaining. She admits to have made wrong steps but I think it's really hard for her to leave it all behind because she has caused A LOT trouble and it's well remebered because a lot of her scandals got to the public. So I think it's not too disproportionate saying it's hard for her to get her image clean.
I think LINDSAY LOHAN should stop reading all these comments. She really made a lot of wrong things in the past because of that everybody makes negative comments about her. This kind of comments right now are not necessary, as she said, that was her past and Lindsay dosent need to justify she was wrong all the time, it s past!!! Get over!!!! She just has to concentrate in her acting carreer now because concerning the rest she is doing well. I have read interviews of her of 2006, 2007....man, seriously, nothing to do with what she says now. I think her relationship with Samantha has been one of the best thing in her life. Concerning her blog, many famous do that, even Doris Day in her 84 years old, Kirk Douglas love their Myspace so what? They like to post things about their lives, they feel closer to their fans and they enjoy that!! GEORGIA S RULE!!!! Hum, finally you mention a very inteligent movie!!
39She looks really beautiful in the photos, but for once could this girl stop playing the victim? Of course you're not going to get privacy in Dubai. WTF does she think?! She goes to the tackiest place in the middle east that is so celeb obsessed and whines that there are photographers?
If she really wants privacy, there are PLENTY of options. She could leave LA for instance. A lot of stars have wonderful careers, don't live in LA, and are only occassionaly followed by the press. Look at Julia Roberts.
If she is serious about avoiding the limelight, she should get out of LA and move to Europe. In Europe, we have strict privacy laws. Sure, paparazzzi are bad here too, but not like in America. She could move to Switzerland for instance. I know a lot of celebrities move there because A) There are no photographers and B) The Swiss do not give two sh*ts about the rich and famous...they are used to it.
Tina Turner and Shania Twain have both lived in Switzerland for decades (I think Celine Dion used to as well), and have very long, successful careers with total privacy.
If you ask me, this girl is full of sh*t.
40Oh, and I just read a bit of the article. I adore Lauren Hutton, but the girl has no narrative voice!
41"When I was in Dubai, there was still press lined up around the hotel."
What did she expect, that it was going to be low-key?
42well - i think that you know what you're getting into when you become an actress and she started when she was really young which means that she's going to be followed endlessly by photogs. she could have taken the route that so many others did and play it low key but that's not really how she went. i guess it's nice to see that she's growing up but she did know how she was putting herself out there to begin with right?
43well... i think its time for the public to give her a chance to prove herself.
44she does photograph well- i'll give her that
45Don't celebs get mag spreads when they are promoting something? Does this mean she's going to work again sometime soon?
46i think she is full of CRAP. but she looks pretty when she is not dressed like a major bum and the freckles are photshopped out!
47Maybe she should shift from acting to modeling... the pictures are stunning. She's always photographed well.
48Yeah Lindsay, our perception of you is WAY off, you serious actress, you. Perhaps if these dumb*sses realized that when they live their lives on camera and live them like idiots, people are going to see them for what they are.
The problem is that she has talent - but her biggest talent, as evidenced by this pictures, is being photographed. Ironic, considering her comments.
49I think she is very talented.
50At least she's coming across as trying to change her ways.
And, who DOESN'T complain?
