Lindsay Lohan: I wish people would believe in me

Lindsay Lohan has insisted that she’s off drink and drugs, and she just wants to get back to work.

The Mean Girls star’s hectic social life overwhelmed her acting career for a few years until 2007, when she had two DUIs and three separate stints in rehab. Since then, she’s completed one film - Labor Pains - but missed out on a number of other high profile roles.

She told E! News recently that it annoys her that people focus on her past and personal life too much: “I move forward and I change. Life’s too short not to.

“If people would just leave my personal life alone - because it’s really not that interesting - then I could land a great role. But all the sicko fans and the noise is so distracting.

“I’m really a good person and I have a good heart and just want to work.

“I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs and I don’t lie. The only reason I go to clubs is to hear [girlfriend Samantha Ronson] spin or be normal.

“I love to act and write and be creative, and I want to help people by playing characters that can send a positive message out to whomever may need it.

“I’d like to have my own charity, do work overseas, be in Oscar-nominated films, write movies, produce movies/shows/videos, design cloths, make music, write books… It’s all possible if people would just stop judging me and accusing me and making me out to be this aloof, spoiled, ungrateful and unprofessional person that I am not and could never be.

“It would be really nice if people would believe in me.”
