Lindsay Lohan Says Partying Past Is Behind Her: "It's Dead"

Lindsay Lohan opened up about leaving her former partying lifestyle in an interview with The New York Times, published on Tuesday (June 26).


The actress made it clear that she has put her past behind her and hopes other people will, too. "I’m a normal, nice person. A good person. I don’t have any bad intentions. And my past has to stay in the past," she said. "People have to just let go of it and stop bringing it up because it’s not — it’s gone. It’s dead. And that’s the most important thing to me."

"There’s a business side to my life now, but I’m not in America, so no one knows about it, which is nice for me," said Lohan, who currently owns a beach club in Greece. "Because I get to actually focus on the result of things."

While tabloids have covered every mistake Lohan has made in the past, she made it clear that the public does not have a real understanding of who she is. "I think success is the best revenge — and silence, as a presence," she said. “When I chose to change my future, my life, I was like, 'Where's the one place I can find silence?'"

Lohan said she moved to Dubai because she believes it's the safest place for her to be, mostly because the paparazzi do not follow her every move.

"That click — Karl Lagerfeld said, 'It’s like they’re shooting guns at me,’ when I first met him at Fendi," she said. "And I felt it. You feel like you’re always watching out, you’re paranoid. It creates this paranoia in your head that’s not necessary."
