Lindsay Lohan flashed a smile for photographers while out in LA yesterday, but her afternoon took a turn for the worse when her assistant crashed Lindsay's new $115,000 Maserati. Oops. Thankfully, the damage wasn't major, and Lindsay, who is no stranger to car trouble, isn't at fault. While this can't help her rumored financial troubles, Lindsay took a moment to clear some things up. She talked to E! and here are highlights:

- On her relationship with Samantha: They need to stop saying we're fighting. People telling lies about me to her and all this garbage. I'm really a good person and I have a good heart and just want to work and the only reason I go to clubs is to hear Samantha spin or be normal. I don't drink, I don't do drugs and I don't lie. I love to act and write and be creative and I want to help people by playing characters that can send a positive message out to whomever may need it."
- On her goals: "I'd like to have my own charity, do work overseas, be in Oscar-nominated films, write movies, produce movies/shows/videos, design clothes, make music, write books, etc. It's all possible if people would just stop judging me and accusing me and making me out to be this aloof, spoiled, ungrateful and unprofessional person that I am not and could never be."
To read what she has to say about believing in herself and her future, plus see more photos, just read more.
- On believing in herself: "With everything that's gone on with my family, my parents still taught us how to have tact, class, respect for others and how to follow our dreams and never change who we are for anyone or anything. No. 1 is perfect, and perfect is impossible. You have to make mistakes to learn so that you can grow up and live your life the right way. Things happen, and you have to move on, be strong and believe in yourself. It would be really nice if people would believe in me."
- On her future: "I move forward and I change. Life's too short not to. If people would just leave my personal life alone — because it's really not that interesting — then I could land a great role. But all the sicko fans and the noise is so distracting I just want to live the dream that I've worked so hard for since I was four years old.

Maybe she should stop talking and start doing. She made her own choices in life that got her to this place she apparently hates, and she has all the means possible to transcend that and become the person she wants to be, get the jobs and the respect she wants, etc. Seems like she just whines and doesn't actually want to do the work to make it possible.
1I really can't stand how everything is everyone else's fault. She takes no responsibility for her own actions...I've never heard her sound remorseful about anything she's done. So sick of her!
2well thank you LL for clearing the air on that one. as for saying that she doesn't drink, i think that there's enough evidence to the contrary - but i'll believe her if that's what she wants.
btw..who buys a car like that? doesn't she have a really nice SUV already?
3Umm..I'm pretty sure it was a fact that the cops were called to Samantha's house last weekend because they were fighting, something got thrown through a window, etc. She needs to quit lying.
4I agree Lukin. I like the fact she seems to have ambition but she isn't really focused to me. I also think an actor should never voice their desire to win an award...its makes it seem like you only care about the validation and not the work behind it.
5I'd like to say "third" to Lukin's comment. It's hard to believe celebrities when they say things like, "Take me seriously," when they have ridiculous cars and stay out all night with their girlfriends who spin in ritzy nightclubs for other celebrities... You don't want the paps to take your picture? Stay at home. Or accept it as a price of fame.
In terms of people believing in you, we WOULD if you clearly believed in yourself. I get that you're 21 years old (or however old you are) and you're interesting in having fun and being fun and wild, but that's why folks don't take you seriously. I mean, I take Dakota Fanning more seriously than I take you and she's younger!
Here's my advice to you: Stay home some weekend and be seen carrying around a script and taking notes. Show up in a UCLA acting class or something. Get a serious acting coach. Stay out of the tabloids for a month. Take some serious meetings. Sell the Maserati and take that cash and buy a Super 8 camera and go out and make your art. What's stopping you from taking a short story writing class? Or writing an article for the Rolling Stone? Quit complaining about how haaaaaaard it isssss to be Lindsay Lohan and do some work.
6The more she mentions Oscar, the less I want to believe in her.
7Zoo, i'd say you just hit the nail on the head.
Seriously, you are Lindsay freakin Lohan.....you can take all of that "celebrity" you have and use it for good....wake up early on a saturday and go volunteer, carry around a book instead of cigarettes. If you want to be taken seriously as an actor/model/singer/writer, then only you have the power to make that happen and to change our negative opinions.
8She spends entirely too much time blaming everyone but herself for all her stupidity.
I wish this delusional train wreck would drink a tall glass of STFU already.
9So, she is broke but can buy a new car for over $100,000???? Now I see why she is broke, she is an IDIOT!!! And the Oscar nominated film is not going to happen, your films must be shown in theaters and not go directly to DVD.
10The moment she says 'I don't lie,' I know she's lyin'.
11You people are all so, so right. She has the life that anyone would kill for, but she wasted it. She has no one to blame but herself. Wow, she is so annoying.
12If she is serious, she needs to look at Britney Spears. No one thought she would come back, but she did by being quiet with the media, focusing on herself, and surrounding herself by good people.
I for one think she loves the attention of being a troubled star.
13Um, ok Lindsay. The next time I see a picture of you looking wasted at 4am I'll be sure to remember this whiny interview and believe that you are as close to perfect as they come. As for your parents teaching you to have "tact and class" - HAH. Either one of them, especially your father, repeatedly show the opposite of those qualities. Stop going to clubs to listen to Sam spin - if you're not there the paps can't get pictures of you (whatever state of sobriety you are in) therefore people can't judge. Etcetc. Stop complaining and start doing something. Like disappearing.
Oh, and eat a freaking cheeseburger or 12.
14I hate to say this but Lindsay you need to remove yourself from the spotlight for a while in order for you to start over. Start doing more . It's unfortunate that her past will always be seen as the present through fans and media alike. I wish I could take her on a yoga retreat and help her find inner strength.
15Being troubled is the only thing Lindsay is good at right now. And I agree with the above posters, quit whining about needing a job and go out and get one. I can't stand the celebs who whine and b*tch about being photographed. Many a celeb have managed to stay out of the spotlight if they want to: Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts, and Jodi Foster, come to mind. Not that I'd put Lindsay in the same category as any of the celebs above, but if you don't want the attention then get yourself out of the shine of the spotlight. If that means moving out of LA then MOVE.
16"It's all possible if people would just stop judging me and accusing me and making me out to be this aloof, spoiled, ungrateful and unprofessional person that I am not and could never be." People say those things is because that's exactly what she is
17This is not the way she should go about trying to fix her image. Talking about how wonderful and misunderstood she is indicates that she has removed herself from feeling any responsibilty for her past and has instead placed herself in the position of a victim. She needs to stop going to clubs to feel "normal" and start taking the initiative that any normal person, who wants to be seen seriously, would take. Fame and it's consequences are tough to deal with but it's her lack of movement from this stagnant and self-obsessed place in her life that she really needs to fight. The fame can help her if she learns to properly take advantage of it.
18Couldn't care less.
19she is in dire need of a hair cut!!! i mean its getting a ridiculous
20how about adding Untalented to that list of things? How annoying
21zoorph Im soo agree with you, that is what LL needs to do.....
22I don't think it is wise to call your fans "sickos"
23"my parents still taught us how to have tact, class, respect for others and how to follow our dreams and never change who we are for anyone or anything"
Uh, Lindsay, they didn't do a very good job because you do NOT come across as Classy OR Tactful. You appear more "trailer trashy" than Britney does these days. Sorry, but the truth hurts.
24I agree with Lukin. Reading about her goals made me a little sad. She seems so out of touch. She has to stop talking about it and just go out there and prove her worth.
25"Oscar nominated films"
26LOL
"Aloof"? Does she even know the meaning of the word? I don't think anyone has accused a fame wh*re like Lindsay of being aloof.
27She's gonna get struck by lightning for all those lies. :)She's got the PR fluff down pat though.
28This is a girl who has been given so many opportunities in life - yet she is losing them all. She has no one to blame but herself.
Many (probably most) of us work regular jobs and struggle to make ends meet, week to week. We don't get millions for movies and hosting party events.
She sounds like a spoiled brat begging for help. Umm...you've made too many stupid mistakes - it's time to pick your own self up and improve.
29she need someone strong in her life who control her (not in a crazy unhealthy way) and help her being desciplined. and she really really needs to avoid the hard-partying people (a.k.a. apparently all of her friends) and of course parties. just more structure and routine in her life, that's what she needs to come back on track.
30I think it's all been said above.
31p.s.: i'm young too and i go partying as well but to party so often and staying out so long is not "normal". ...and you really can have fun without getting wasted!
32oh yeah me too! i could be rich and famous and do all this great sh*t if only people would stop judging me! DUMBASS!
33maybe you could do all those things if you werent a wasted coke wh*re whos only "job" of late has been getting drunk and chasing around your girlfriend who actually has a job.
she sounds like the typical spoiled cokehead.
Hahah Renee3, I was just going to say the same thing!!! Is she seriously claiming that she dosen't drink? Riiiiighhht.
34She always talks about all these amazing, great, and charitable things she wants/plans to do and I've never seen her act on any of it. The public has the image of her that they do because that's what she's putting out there! If she wants people to see her differently, maybe she should start acting differently.
35I forgot to add I think she needs "Daddy Spears" to help save her!
36I agree that she needs to get out of the spotlight for a while (at least 6 months). She just needs to go live in a cabin in the woods, somewhere remote, where no one will bother her (like Demi Moore when she moved to Idaho to raise her kids). She also needs to take out those extensions, go back to her normal coloring, quit smoking, and eat a few cheeseburgers, for sure. Maybe read a few books too.
37what.a.joke.
38LOL @ everything she said...I ALMOST feel bad....but not really..
39who is this garbage dump of a person trying to fool...she doesn't drink, do drugs or lie - yeah, and later Josh Harnett's gonna come to my job and propose marriage to me whilst offering me 45 million in cash
