Lindsay Lohan is Interview magazine's February 2009 cover girl, and Lauren Hutton interviewed the 22-year-old actress and the two ladies discussed the paparazzi, fame, movie roles, and the media's perception of the young starlet.
On the paparazzi:
- [It's scary, especially] late at night, when you're trying to turn a corner, and then somebody else is speeding up alongside you. So, you know, it's okay for someone to chase me and then try to cut me off so I ram my car into a tree...I mean, I know this guy was trying to do his job, but his "job" almost landed me half-dead.
On how her personal life interferes with her professional life:
- 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.
On wanting to be a movie star and how people focus too much on her personal life:
- 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.
And 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. All these people think I'm never going to be right, because it's more interesting to fabricate this other girl. Who wants to read a tabloid story about a girl who is doing well?
Lindsay is easily the most photographed celebrity in Los Angeles, but you have to stop and remember - she's also a talented actress, and she's only 22 years old - she's got plenty of time to win that Oscar.
You know what? Reading this interview makes us want to sit down and have a cup of coffee with her.
