Lindsay Lohan’s Last Interview Before The Crash
Friday, August 3rd, 2007 at 6:14 pm
Elle has published the last interview Lindsay Lohan gave before her Memorial Day crash. The first quote is like a big ol’ foot in her mouth. Here we go:
On her reputation for drunk driving:
“I wouldn’t violate … I’m much more responsible than that. I would not do that.”
On attending rehab at Wonderland before her 21st birthday:
“I was growing up and going out a lot, and I needed to have a balance. I was glad I went, because I needed to get away from everyone and I didn’t know how to do that. And I learned a lot there. A bunch of my friends – I was with them last night – they’re in AA for, like, years.”
On her sometimes-boyfriend Calum Best:
“I like him. He’s me in male form. We’re very similar. Stubborn, rebellious, very smart, coy, a little bit narcissistic – I think all actors have a little bit of that, and so they should. We’ll be kidding around, like the other day when we were in the Bahamas … I was walking by some mirror. And he caught me looking in the mirror and he goes, ‘I caught that!’ I was like, ‘Damn, I look good!’
On her future projects:
“There’s this Walter Salles film I really want to do. It’s called On the Road. It has the vibe of that movie The Dreamers […] I want to work with Walter Salles so bad. I had to audition for him. It was the first audition I’ve had since Freaky Friday.”
On the media firestorm surrounding her:
“I feel like the asshole, the idiot, because I feel like I’m distracting from the other things that are important, like global warming and that kind of stuff. I genuinely mean that. And I don’t know what to do.”
On avoiding fame:
“I hate it, like, when these people say, ‘Well, why do you go to the Ivy if you don’t want …’ Seriously, I like their food! I can’t go to a restaurant? I know I’m going to get pictures taken. I’m fine with it. And I’m going to go have their food. People give you shit for it: ‘Don’t go on Robertson!’ What, I can’t drive down the street?”
On being photographed without underwear:
“It was once, and it was when I was in Venice. And I was rushing through the room, threw the Prada dress on. And that’s what happened. And I didn’t even see the picture. I don’t look at that shit – that’s gross. If I wear a dress I have underwear on.”
On sleep troubles:
“I have really bad insomnia. My whole life. I get nervous at night going to bed, and being awake alone really freaks me out.”
On her career aspirations:
“I just want to be nominated for an award for all the work I’ve done. It’s so funny – people forget that I played two characters in Parent Trap when I was twelve years old.”
