Lindsay Lohan Says She's Never Been Drunk On Set, Respects The Law, Wants To Adopt A Son Someday

Lindsay Lohan brags how she's never been drunk on set, says jail was a blessing in disguise, claims she wants to adopt a boy one day, and advises against drinking and driving in a new interview in promotion of her film Liz & Dick, and RadarOnline.com has the details.

The 26-year-old, who's been frequently compared to Elizabeth Taylor on the promotional trail for her new TV movie, tells US magazine there's at least one difference between she and the Hollywood great.

"Elizabeth was drunk on sets. I've never been drunk on set, ever. I did my time and I respect the law."

Lindsay said she learned some life lessons while locked up in 2010, particularly when she was all by her lonesome.

"As hard as it was for me to admit it when I was in denial, it was a blessing in disguise," she said of her stint behind bars. "I was in solitary confinement and I took the time to really get into the right headspace."

She said she also made the best of a particularly bad situation during her multiple stints in rehab, referring to another old Hollywood icon in the process.

"Marilyn Monroe went to an institution and said, 'I may not belong here like the world thinks I do, but I might as well take what I can get here and use it and help other people,'" LiLo said. "I think that’s what everyone should take from those experiences."

Asked if she wants to have kids, Lindsay said, "Yes. I want to adopt a son."

Despite her issues that have made for a jagged career path that's seen her fall from a potential A-lister to the TV movie comeback trail, the redhead says she has no regrets.

Without her past, Lindsay says she "wouldn't be able to cry in scenes at the drop of a hat.
"I have it tattooed: LIVE WITHOUT REGRETS. I'm not saying I wanted to go to a jail cell, but I've drawn from all of it."

Lastly, asked if she could go back in time 10 years and advise her 16-year-old self, Lindsay said, "Don't drink and drive. And be careful who you surround yourself with."

i think i would want a son rather than a daughter, tbh. mostly bc i was never a girly girl and i feel like i would never know what to do with a daughter :( lol but i dont really want kids in general, so it doesn't really matter

Yeah but it's weird to assume that your daughter would be a "girly girl" even though you weren't...
actxappalledx 21st-Nov-2012 04:22 am (UTC)
And it would be just fine if she weren't. But if I would never know what to do with someone like my sister, for instance, who was all about dresses and shopping and make up. Just because I was a tomboy doesn't mean my kid will be, too. So for me, personally, when I think about kids, I just feel like, for me, a son would be easier and more relatable, I guess. In any case, when women get pregnant, it isn't uncommon for someone to want one sex over the other.. I don't really see why it's a big deal for a person to prefer a son to a daughter or a daughter to a son. No matter what actually ends up coming out, they're going to love the kid just the same.

I can understand that, but I think everyone wins if you consciously try not to prefer either gender until you know for sure. I get what you're saying about not relating to typical girly stuff, I can't even with barbies or disney princesses. I plan on trying to interest my daughter with toys and activities that aren't inherently "girly", but they'll end up liking what they like. I guess I feel like people sort of give up on little girls too easily.

No, I understand what you're saying, too. If I do have kids, which I'm not sure I really want them lol, I would definitely want both a girl and a boy anyway. I imagine that they would both be different experiences, and I would love to experience both of them. I feel like a lot of people want boys because they're "easier," and that I definitely don't see. I think that with that whole "easier" thing, it all comes down to personality, not really gender

You could end up with a son who likes makeup and dresses too, fyi. Just because it's a boy doesn't automatically mean it would like the same things a tomboy does.
actxappalledx 21st-Nov-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
And again, that would be fine, too. Like I said, I would love whatever I had no matter what. But (and I do know it's wrong) when I think about having a girl vs. boy, I do look at it in a more gender stereotypical way just b/c the thought of being disconnected to my kid (like I feel I would be if I had a kid into makeup etc., since I grew up a tomboy with a single mom who was more like my sister and she didn't know what to do with me for a really long time for instance) really scares me. I think that's why I tend to feel like I would prefer one over the other. However, I know that no matter what I had, I would love it because it's my kid that I had inside of me and created and would love no matter what.

you wouldn't do anything. you'd let her be herself and work around that. you don't have to relate to what your children like in order to bond with them or be a good parent.
celtic_thistle 21st-Nov-2012 05:09 am (UTC)
lol I wasn't particularly girly OR tomboyish and I still wouldn't know what to do with a son.
actxappalledx 21st-Nov-2012 05:12 am (UTC)
tbh i think this is more accurate of me, too, lol. i wouldn't know what to do with a kid in general. I don't particularly care for them and just the thought of them makes me twitchy. I have like zero maternal instincts in me lol. give me cats and dogs but not kids

My Mum is the least girly girl ever and somehow she found it in herself to feed me daily...
actxappalledx 21st-Nov-2012 06:28 am (UTC)
I clearly didn't mean it in that way, but cute try! Good for u

"i was never a girly girl and i feel like i would never know what to do with a daughter"

I feel the same way, you have too much patience with the people who deliberately misunderstood you tbh
klauses 22nd-Nov-2012 06:21 am (UTC)
