Actress and singer Lindsay Lohan gave her interview for US Marie Claire Magazine and graced its October 2008 issue.

Lindsay was said in the interview as diverted, with acute ADD, but in a very Lindsay way. Continually texting, changing clothes or downloading songs.

Lindsay Lohan says she wants to buy a house “with someone” and says she’s really happy. When noting that Samantha Ronson has been a good effect on Lindsay, she doesn’t deny that Samantha is a great person and a good influence on those around her:

I’m really happy. She’s a great person. And she’s a great influence on people around her. I think that anything that’s changed in my life is because of me. I’ve gone through it and I’ve had to deal with it and I’ve made the decision to move forward.”

About her and Samantha’s tattoos:

Samantha has a bunch of stars, so I got that. She got this. [Points to a small heart etched on her hand].”

Lindsay on her music:

This business is very ‘go, go, go,’ and you’re constantly surrounded by people, and then everything stops. So you can feel invalid in a weird way. I find [the recording studio] therapeutic.”

She talks about recovery from post-rehab career turmoil, about her work on projects like Labor Pains, Ugly Betty, and her new music album.

On Robert Downey Jr.’s life experience being similar to hers:

He’s an amazing actor,” Lohan says of Downey. “Look at people like that who have gone through **** and had to work that much harder to get to where they are now.”

Lindsay talks about the unhealthy lifestyle she had before – of living in hotels because she didn’t want to be alone.

I didn’t want to be alone, so whatever I needed I could just go downstairs and there were people there” – she now recognizes the unhealthiness of that. “It wasn’t a way of life,” she says. “Not very consistent.”

“It’s a lot of pressure, because everyone’s depending on you. And your mood, when you go on set, everybody feels it. On a day when you’re tired, it’s important to just say good morning to everyone so they’re kind of aware that it’s gonna be a good day. Jamie Lee Curtis told me that.”

Labor Pains director Lara Shapiro says nothing but great things of Lindsay on the set:

“Lindsay has incredible comedic instincts. She’s such a natural, and it’s amazing to watch her bring things to life. The lightness and quickness she brings is just really fun to watch.”

On her dad:

“I don’t know what’s going on with it,” Lohan says, wearily. “I haven’t asked him any questions. Apparently we’ve been in the dark for so many years. We’ve gone through enough with him. Enough is enough.” As a result, she’s shutting down communication with Dad for a bit – “until he decides to be a grown-up.”

Lindsay really looks great.
