Doyouthink there are preconceived notions of me?

Lohan asks with a laugh, one thats laced with well-warranted exasperation.

[Even] if I doeverythingright, they have to findonething to make everything negative to some extent.

I just want to know what people want me to do so that everything can just be okay.

I dont know if thats ever going to be possible.

You take a bunch of kids [to] this party place and they just want to run around.

I was able to watch as an overseer and really understand.

Was I ever like that?

But this cant happen now…. Work is work, and I dont want any mucking about.

If I hadnt experienced everything I have in life beforehand…

I dont think Id be able to relate to them as much, she explains.

It was a blessing that I was able to.

These girls had some real issues, and it was really interesting to have them work through it.

It was like therapy for them.

But its scrub the project provided a much needed mental reset for her, too.

My entire life has been in the public eye.

Mykonos consists of a population of 10,000 people all year round.

But Lohan doesnt necessarily see her absence as an opportunity missed.

It just wouldnt have worked out…. Its unfortunate, but I know myself now.

Id be too tired.

She adds, Im tired of hearing about my past.

It used to be More people!

But now its Shhh!

Taking time for [me] is important.

I learned that the hard way, unfortunately.

And I want to share that with other people.
