14 DAY TRIAL // She may not have much of a career right now, but Lindsay Lohan is determined to make a comeback and prove, once and for all, that she’s in the industry because she’s a good actress. In fact, she wants to win an Oscar by 30.
As we also informed you yesterday, Lohan did her first post-jail, post-rehab interview with Jay Leno and she talked, among other things, about how tabloid fame is not really what she wants from life and about how she dreams of an Academy Award.
After owning up to her mistakes and saying that she did them because she was too young to care (or know better), Lindsay told Leno she’s very sorry for disappointing her fans.
“I feel like I’ve let my fans down by putting myself in situations when I was younger and wasn’t thinking clearly,” she says.
With all that, she has concrete plans to make it better – and, at the same time, to prove that the credit she got when she first started out in the industry was not in vain.
“I want to be the person that I aspire to be. And be the actress, and be in this industry, and make movies,” she says.
Speaking of which, when Leno asks her where she sees herself in 6 years’ time, when she’ll be 30, Lindsay goes straight to the point.
“Hopefully sitting here after I’ve won an Oscar. That would be ideal,” she says, as the video below will confirm.
Until that happens, until she even gets the chance to start preparing for her comeback, Lindsay has to think of her recent legal problems: she’s already been sentenced to 120 days in jail and community service at the morgue for parole violation, and is awaiting sentencing on a theft charge.
The former was a complete shock, Lindsay reveals. Because she knows she’s innocent, that she didn’t take the necklace she’s accused of stealing, she didn’t expect to be found in violation of parole.
“I was kind of shocked we didn’t expect the outcome to be what it was, but I’m a big girl, and I’m going to do what I’m told to do. That’s what I need to do to continue on with working in my life and I’m taking responsibility,” she says.
