The October issue of Vanity Fair magazine hits newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Thursday. The same issue is released nationwide on September 7.
In a July interview with the magazine before she served 14 days in jail followed by 23 days of inpatient rehab, she defended her actions, saying she was young and curious and was associating with the wrong people: “So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons,” Lohan said. “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.”
Lohan says she used to get her news from tabloids, which she now calls “scary and sad”: “I would look up to those girls… the Britneys and whatever,” she said. “And I would be like, I want to be like that.”
She says of her addictions: “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.” She continues, “I think everyone has their own addictions and hopefully learns how to get past them.”
Despite everything, Lohan is confident in her acting abilities and future: “I don’t care what anyone says. I know that I’m a damn good actress.”
She says she’ll do whatever it takes to fix her party-girl image: “I want my career back,” she said. “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 also addresses issues with her father, Michael Lohan, saying: “I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life.”
She said that her bad decisions were made in part because of the bad role models she had from other hot young stars. "I would look up to those girls… the Britneys and whatever. And I would be like, I want to be like that," she said. "I had a lot of responsibility; and I think just the second I didn't have [structure] anymore—I was 18, 19—with a ton of money and no one really here to tell me that I couldn't do certain things… And I see where that’s gotten me now, and I don’t like it."
