Lindsay Lohan: "My Talent is a Gift and I'm Going to Use It"

Lindsay Lohan:

Lindsay Lohan has done yet another exclusive interview and “photo shoot” with OK! Magazine. (Back in August, she was snapped “candidly” reading a copy of the AA book in rehab.)

Here’s a sneak peek of the interview via USA Today:

On her second DUI arrest in less than two months: “[I hit] rock-bottom. Everything in my life came to a point where I had to make a decision; the arrest that night helped me come to a point where I had to make one.”

On how she she plans to stay on the road to recovery: “[By surrounding myself] with good people who have their hearts and their minds in the right places.”

On Lindsay‘s small role in her new film about Tango legend Carlos Gardel: “I’m staying in Utah until it’s time to shoot Dare to Love Me and then I plan on returning to Utah so I can stay focused and avoid other distractions.”

On not saying goodbye to the Hollywood industry: “Absolutely not – never! I’m here to stay,” says the actress, 21. “My talent is a gift, and I’m going to use it in the right way.”

On the the feud between her father, Michael, and mother, Dina: “I wish it would stop. It hurts when two people you love argue with one another. I don’t think any child wants to see their parents argue or see their family fall apart. Unfortunately, it happens, and when it does, they should do it with as little effect on their children as possible.”

On her rehab experience: “[It was] sobering [and] humbling. It made me look at myself, and all of the people, places and things in my life in a different way. I was in there for substance abuse, after all.”

On the potential of relapse: “If I wasn’t (worried), I’d be living in denial. Temptation is always there, but now I’ll avoid it the right way.”

OF NOTE: “Lindsay captured her departure from Cirque Lodge, with her father, Michael Lohan, at her side, with a camera, and several photos will appear in OK! A magazine spokesman says there was no money involved in getting the interview or photos.”

Look for this exclusive interview with Lindsay in OK!, on newsstands nationwide Friday.
