Lindsay Lohan: It’s Still Everyone Else’s Fault

There’s another trailer for that movie that cost about tree-fiddy that’s only going to be released online which is a poor showing for actual porn at this point. And the second trailer for The Canyons is the worst-most-amazing-thing-I’ve-seen since the first trailer for The Canyons. Except this one looks like it was shot with a potato or a retrofitted Instamatic with scenes in black and white to distract from the bad direction, bad lighting, and bad everything else you apparently cannot see in colour. Anyway, the trailer is above and in an interview being called ‘new’ by usually-spurious The Mirror UK Lohan appears to be blaming her personal problems on the enablers who never say ‘no’ and to whom she cannot say ‘no.’ She explains: ‘At the age when I would have been in college, I was in Los Angeles living by myself and I didn’t have the best people with the best intentions around me. It’s hard for me to say ‘no’ to someone I love and I really don’t like to notice the bad in people and I’ve had to work on that because not everyone has your best interests at heart. When you reach a certain point of fame, people are willing to do whatever you ask them to do and are afraid to say no. That has a lot to do with living in excess and if you don’t have the right people around you then you’re never going to learn when to stop.’ More below.

On her love life compared to Liz Taylor’s: ‘I can only imagine what it would be like to have the kind of love that she and Richard Burton had. It’s such a wonderful thing. It’s so heartbreaking. Love is scary and I’m yet to find that one person… There’s nothing better than that first feeling of being in love, so I look forward to having that at some point.Yes, I’ve been in love with people… maybe one or two… but I haven’t really had a true love yet.’
On why she wanted the role: ‘I fought to get the role in Liz and Dick because I related to her so much because of her position in the public eye and the media obsession with her, and the ups and downs in her relationships and life. And that’s aside from her love for diamonds! We’re both strong-willed and Elizabeth and her mother had a similar bond to the one I have with my mother. I learned from Liz that it’s OK to be in love and have heartache. She and Burton loved each other so much it was scary.’
On her own celebrity: ‘I love acting and that’s what I started out doing and it’s unfortunate that people began to know me as a celebrity rather than an actress. I can only hope to gain respect back through my work. I care what people think but I am who I am and it’s unfortunate that some of the things that are meant to be kept private have been exposed and if I had the choice I wouldn’t have had it that way. I’ve drawn from experiences and from things I’ve seen and grown up with and I don’t want to go back.’
On why her problems are everyone else’s fault: ‘When you’re filming, you’re part of a family and then when it stops you’re left alone with nothing and it gets lonely and depressing and sad. I was being hounded a lot and didn’t know what to do and didn’t want to listen to anyone. At the age when I would have been in college I was in Los Angeles living by myself and I didn’t have the best people with the best intentions around me. It’s hard for me to say ‘no’ to someone I love and I really don’t like to notice the bad in people and I’ve had to work on that because not everyone has your best interests at heart. When you reach a certain point of fame, people are willing to do whatever you ask them to do and are afraid to say no. That has a lot to do with living in excess and if you don’t have the right people around you then you’re never going to learn when to stop.’
On her admitted clothes hoarding: ‘I was working and travelling a lot and living in different hotels and I didn’t want to bring everything with me so you end up buying more and then it comes home and people send you things. It just piles up and up and you want to keep getting the new thing so you end up having way too much. My garage is not a garage, it’s a closet. I love clothing. It’s so expressive and whatever you wear on a certain day tells the story of who you are.’
