Lindsay Lohan’s First Post-Jail Interview with Vanity Fair

The October issue of Vanity Fair magazine will bring an interview with legally troubled and much mediated actress Lindsay Lohan. Excerpts from it have gone online and are already causing quite a fuss in the blogosphere.

This is literally the first interview with the star since she started her jail sentence and then went to rehab, which explains the massive interest in what it may bring.

Aside from saying she was far from done with acting because she wanted to prove to the world she was a very good actress (as she knows she is), Lindsay also denies ever doing drugs.

In fact, she denies she ever did anything wrong – in recent years, at least. All that’s written about her in the media are just bogus reports because she’s being punished for the mistakes she made when growing up.

Mistakes that are completely understandable, for that matter. Everyone does so as they’re growing up, but with her, it was different because she was suddenly very rich, very famous and too young to be living alone in Hollywood.

“I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress… And I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible-but that’s what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes,” the actress says.

She’s neither an alcoholic nor a drug addict, therefore being judged as one, forced to wear a SCRAM bracelet and sentenced to prison was a grave injustice that was done to her.

“I’ve never abused prescription drugs. I never have-never in my life. I have no desire to. That’s not who I am. I’ve admitted to the things that I’ve done – to, you know, dabbling in certain things and trying things ‘cause I was young and curious and thought it was like, OK, ‘cause other people were doing it and other people put it in front of me. And I see what happened in my life because of it,” the actress says.

“I want my career back. I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It’s not fun anyway,” she stresses, speaking of her determination at making a comeback.

In the end, that’s all that matters: all the drama in the media and even that in her personal life (with her father) are not important, because they distract her from her goal at proving she’s a talented actress.

As a fun fact, contributing editor Nancy Jo Sales also interviewed paparazzi for the piece, with one of them saying it takes $10,000 to get Lindsay to give her whereabouts to them or be at a given place at a given hour.

So much for the drama about the paparazzi always being on her tail. She, of course, is denying that’s true.
