Lindsay Lohan Talks Hard Times

She’s certainly been through the proverbial ringer this past year. And Lindsay Lohan has put enough distance between her present and her past to finally get real with where she was, as well as where she hopes to be in the future.

The “Mean Girls” actress recently opened up about how her past indiscretions may have hurt her career chances from here on out. She told press, “I am what I am. They either want to take a chance or they don’t, is how I see it.”

In terms of the contributors to her breakdown in 2007, LiLo confessed, “I had a lot going on in my life and that was a way of hiding from it. I hadn’t seen my dad; I had a lot of work stress ‘cause I was constantly working and never took time to stop. Everything was go-go-go, and the easiest thing was to run away from it, going out and drinking at night. You know, you don’t have to think when you let go sometimes.”

Lindsay continued, “But I didn’t realize it was getting in the way of my work – what I’ve worked for my whole life. There’s not really much else to do when you’re sitting in a treatment center. It’s like, ‘Why am I here? Let’s think.’”

As for her future, the “Georgia Rule” actress wants to get back to what she does best- acting. “Right now I just want to find a great script, a great role. I was so used to working and working and working, and for a good few months there was nothing for me to do. Now I know what it’s like to be an out-of-work actor, and how much it scares me.”
