Lindsay Lohan

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!

My brother Cody is 19. He wants to stay out of the limelight and become a lawyer. I want him to be an entertainment lawyer, so he can help me out!

My mum says, 'Go with your first instinct,' but this can lead to impulse buying!

I never rebelled against my parents - I worked hard, I was responsible, and I didn't go to high-school parties.

If I can change bodies with anyone, it would be Britney Spears because how can you not like Britney Spears?

Marriage is a big deal, but who's to say I'm not going to pull a Vegas and get married to see what it's like for a minute?

I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible - but that's what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes.

I'm the hardest working person I know. I'm 20 years old - is it a crime to want to go out dancing with my friends?

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.

How can you not like Britney Spears?

So many people preach that they love fashion, but really it's what I live for!

I've become more of a homebody, and I like that.

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.

My motto is: Live every day to the fullest - in moderation.

I want to set up orphanages for underprivileged and abused children.

I think Christina Aguilera is great; I would love to work with her.

There's a way of dealing with hardships that are healthier than going out. That's what I've learned.

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.

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've always been interested in singing, and I've always been singing and dancing since I was little.

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.

I'm an angel compared to some of my friends.

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?

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.

Life is full of risks anyway, why not take them?

I want to win an Oscar. I want to be known for more than, like, going out. For being the 'party girl'. I hate that. I bust my ass when I'm filming and when I have time off, yeah, I like to go out and dance.

I write most of my own lyrics for my album and I am helping to produce some of the songs as well.

I'll probably pursue doing more movies, but not horror or movies with killers in them. I'll try to stick to happy movies. I want to act and direct like Jodie Foster. I admire her because she went to college and she's still doing the same thing.

Never say never. The things that you don't plan are the best. I'm a very spontaneous person.

My little sister Aliana's opinions are the most important to me. She says, 'I want to look like you, you're so pretty!' But she is very beautiful and so she is trouble in the making! She wants to do what I do. I'm like her second mother and I am very protective of her.

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 love my red hair. It makes me spunkier.

I still need to go through the process of proving myself.

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 Its going to be a good day.

I have always admired and had enormous respect for Elizabeth Taylor. She was not only an incredible actress but an amazing woman as well.

I'm not going to deny the fact that I've tried pot. I hated it.

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'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'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.

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.

I hate it when people call me a teen queen.

I'm 20 years old. I like to party as much as anyone my age. Going clubbing is my way of relaxing or releasing a lot of stress. I don't feel that I should have to justify that part of my life. I don't know that I'm necessarily an addict.

I don't care what anyone says.

Compared to a lot of actresses my age, I'm actually overweight.

I'm my own worst enemy and I know that.

I really enjoy singing and I really enjoy acting, but singing I've been doing since I was really young.

Life is full of risks anyway; why not take them?

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 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.

Say 'no' more than 'yes,' and just make sure you surround yourself with good people.

It's so weird that I went to rehab. I always said that I would die before I went to rehab. But I thought, 'I'm going to stay here tonight.' And I stayed there for a month. It was great.

Obviously, I want to sell records, but I do it because I find it therapeutic. In music I can be myself.

I know that in my past I was young and irresponsible but thats what growing up is. You learn from your mistakes.

My mom is going to kill me for talking about sleeping with people. But I don't want to put myself in the position where I'm in a monogamous relationship right now. I'm not dating just one person. 'Sex and the City' changed everything for me because those girls would sleep with so many people.

When someone tells me not to do something, I'll do it more.

I am happy being able to play roles with people my age because once you do something really mature there is no turning back.

Substance abuse is a disease which doesn't go away overnight. I'm working hard to overcome it. I did fail my recent drug test. I'm prepared to face the consequences.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

I'm at my happiest when I'm on a movie set. It's like therapy for me.

I just love fashion. I think it just expresses who you are so much.

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.'

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.

I don't know if I am cut out to playing a bad character or not - I really should give it a shot. I would like to play the voice of a baddie, but that's really just a cop-out!

I'm not that girl from Freaky Friday any more! I'm a real adult. In fact, I hate children! I hate them all!

It's my body. And I like my body. And I like my breasts. And no, they're not fake.

I write a lot of lyrics and I'm involved in the producing process, because it's like, if I'm singing it, I want it to be something that I can relate to.

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.

If I dated as many people as they said I have, then I would be dead, because it's just not possible.

Normalcy is not interesting.

I want to get married before I'm 30. And I'd like to win an Oscar before then.

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 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 wanted to be a movie star. But movie stars are not what they used to be.

Beauty is grace and confidence. I've learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me.

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.

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.

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.

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.
