* It is clear to me that my life has
become completely unmanageable
because I am addicted to alcohol and
drugs.
Recently, I relapsed and did things
for which I am ashamed. I broke the
law, and today I took responsibility
by pleading guilty to the charges in
my case.
o As quoted in "Lindsay: "I Am
Addicted to Alcohol and Drugs" at
TMZ (23 August 2007)
* You know what's hard? I want to
give back. I want to do all the
things that will make me feel
fulfilled. But whenever I do those
things, people think it's a press
stunt or something. Because they do
find me, and there's really no way
of hiding from that. And the second
that you complain about it, they
say, "Well, this is what you wanted,
so this is what you're going to
get." That's all people see it as
now. It's not, "No, I just want to
have some time for myself." There
are things I want to do, and people
don't understand that. You know, my
car accident that I got into, where
I got my first charge, I wouldn't
have been speeding up like I was if
I didn't have people shoving cameras
in my windows.
* I just feel as though it's become
a situation where people have
manifested this caricature of who I
am, and they act as if there's no
real person inside of it. I mean,
people really have come to
believe-directors, producers,
agents, whoever it may be-that I
started in this because I wanted to
be a celebrity. But that was never
my intention.

Interviewed by Lauren Hutton in
Interview magazine (January 2009)
* I wanted to be a movie star. But
movie stars are not what they used
to be. When I was a kid, I thought
movie stars were women and men who
were in these great films that we
still look at now...And people my
age don't even know who those people
are. I can't even have a
conversation with most people of my
generation about that, because
they'd be like, "Okay, she's a
freak..." And the worst part is, in
terms of what people see of me, I
have become this girl who just loves
to be photographed, doesn't know how
to focus, doesn't know how to work
on set, just loves the attention,
knows how to go out at night, knows
how to party. And you know what? I
was 20 years old. I never went to
college. And I lived maybe six
months out of my life like that,
doing something wrong, and then I
stopped. God forbid I should have
ever learned my lesson. But at this
point it's so hard for people to
even believe that there was a lesson
to be learned at all, because they
just think I'm wrong. All these
people think I'm never going to be
right, because it's more interesting
to fabricate this other girl. Who
wants to read a tabloid story about
a girl who is doing well?
* I work just as hard as any other
actress around my age, like Scarlett
Johansson, but I just don't get the
opportunities that they get because
people are so distracted by the mess
that I created in my life. But that
doesn't mean it's going to last
forever.
* Don t ever say this to me, "Are
you O.K.?" It s like "Yeah,
motherfucker, I m fine."
o As quoted in "Confessions of a
Teenage Movie Queen" in Vanity Fair
(February 2006)
