I would switch roles with Madonna for a day. Or if Audrey Hepburn was still alive, Audrey Hepburn. I love Audrey Hepburn. She's one of my idols, also.
— Lindsay Lohan
I've always been interested in singing, and I've always been singing and dancing since I was little.
I think Christina Aguilera is great; I would love to work with her.
It's funny because being comedic and happy and lighthearted is who I am as a person, so they're easier emotions for me to connect with.
I'm at my happiest when I'm on a movie set. It's like therapy for me.
I hate the bad rap that people give my parents. Because they are just parents, really, at the end of the day trying to stand up for their daughter and themselves.
Partying and having all of those pictures taken distracts from the work that I do. It's not why I started acting. I didn't get into acting to be written about. It kind of just happened - so I accept that it's my life.
I don't like to talk about politics. If you say you're a Democrat, that'll turn off Republicans, and that's half of your fan base.
I still need to go through the process of proving myself.
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.
I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible - but that's what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes.
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. But I don't think there are too many films coming out these days that we're going to look at in the future and say, 'This is one of the great ones.'
Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.
Say 'no' more than 'yes,' and just make sure you surround yourself with good people.
It's my body. And I like my body. And I like my breasts. And no, they're not fake.
You shouldn't have to give things up for someone. If you love them someone, you should love them for everything they do and all that they are. I love acting and I wouldn't give it up for anything, and I don't know anyone in my life who would ask me to give it up.
I'm not skinny for the wrong reasons. It's not because I'm bulimic or anorexic or doing drugs. Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.
I want to interact with my fans, and I want to let people know what I'm doing and stuff like that because I'd want to know.
My mom is very close to me, and it has been really cool having a mom that's closer to my age because she can go out with me and stuff.
When I was younger, I started taking singing lessons and dance and acting. I just started acting first because that's how everything happened.
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 live without regrets. There are certain things I have done, mistakes that I made, that I would change, but I don't regret them at all, because I've learnt from them.
I'm really in touch, whether it's prayer or meditation... there are so many powers greater than me in the world. I've been blessed and lucky enough to have been given a gift to share with other people.
Because I'm so much in the spotlight, people lose sight of why I'm in the industry. In fact, I'm doing all this because I love to act. I love to perform, to sing.
I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.
Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.
I don't care what anyone says.
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.
I wanted to be a movie star. But movie stars are not what they used to be.
I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.
People go to college to find who they are as a person and find what they want to do in life, and I kind of already know that so it would be like I'd be taking a step back or something.
I want to set up orphanages for underprivileged and abused children.
I want to be remembered for the work that I've done, rather than the car accidents that I've gotten into, the men that I've not dated - or the man that I have.
When someone tells me not to do something, I'll do it more.
When I did 'Parent Trap,' I was ten. I was thrown off by the whole fame thing.
I did say that I wanted to be a young mom, just because my mom was a young mom. It is better because I can be closer to my kids and stuff.
If you're fighting with your boyfriend, you can go to the movies and cry it out and leave happy because the ending of the film is happy.
I never rebelled against my parents - I worked hard, I was responsible, and I didn't go to high-school parties.
Normalcy is not interesting.
I'm my own worst enemy and I know that.
I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she is still doing the same thing.
I've become more of a homebody, and I like that.
I just love fashion. I think it just expresses who you are so much.
So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving.
This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that's what actually goes on. But what hurts me the most is that 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.
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.
If I can change bodies with anyone, it would be Britney Spears because how can you not like Britney Spears?
I think a woman's body is so much more sensual than a man's. I'm not saying strip off all your clothes, but there are certain photos I like people taking of me, where I'm comfortable. As long as it's tasteful, why not?
Everyone has highs and lows that they have to learn from, but every morning I start off with a good head on my shoulders, saying to myself, 'It's going to be a good day!'.
I did get to work with Anthony Hopkins on 'The Human Stain.' If I ever manage to accomplish a quarter of what he's achieved, I'll have had one hell of a career.
