On her supposed alcohol addiction:
“If I were the alcoholic everyone says I am, then putting a [scram]
bracelet on would have ended me up in detox, in the emergency room,
because I would have had to come down from all the things that people
say I’m taking and my father says I’m taking — so that says something,
because I was fine.”

On denying drug abuse: “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, O.K., ’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.”

On hanging out with the wrong crowd: “So many
people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of
people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving. I had a lot
of people that were there for me for, you know, the party.”


On her father, Michael Lohan:
“I think if anyone should be looked at medically it’s him. He has such
a big chemical imbalance at this point because of all the things he’s
done to himself. … The worst part of it is you turn around and you see
your dad crying and normally you’d be, like, happy that your father’s
there. But then he has to go and do an interview right after.”


On her career being far from over: “I want my
career back. I know that I’m a damn good actress, and it’s been my
passion since I was a child, and I know that when I care about
something, I put 100 percent and more into it. … 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. I don’t
care. It’s the same thing every time.”
