London, get ready – Lindsay Lohan is arriving! It looks like once famous star is so eager to leave the states that she is even ready to go cross Atlantic to do it. In an interview with The Guardian, she sheds some light on her upcoming plans:
“About her old life in LA: “In LA I didn’t know what to do apart from go out every night. That’s when my friends were free. And I would go out and there would be all these cameras there and that’s when it became difficult.”
About her moving to London permanently: Lohan has lived in the capital for nine months now, has a lease for another year on her flat in the West End, and is currently planning to make it her permanent home. She can’t emphasise enough the liberation the move has given her. “I can go for a run here on my own,” she says. “I do every morning, early, and I think how my friends in New York would still be up partying at that time. I needed to grow up and London is a better place for me to do that than anywhere else.”
About her summer vacation in Greece: “It was the first time I have ever just been on a vacation by myself. I just wandered about on my own! I turned off my phone. It was so extraordinarily freeing for me. Like another life.”

Will she ever live in LA again: “I won’t live in LA again, hell no. My friends tell me sh-t when they come over I don’t want to hear. I don’t even know who got married and who got pregnant. You turn on the news in LA and it is all gossip about people. All the stuff that is going on in the world right now and this gossip is the news? I love the BBC. I haven’t heard myself mentioned on TV since I have been here. That has been really weird for me, and great.”
About Al Pacino: “He said I know you are going to love this, it will be such a rush for you. He helped me get a routine; I like to meditate a bit before I go on to stage. He warned me the adrenaline you have after is tricky, it’s late and you want to do something. I have let myself go eat, and then I have gone home.”
On how she didn’t miss one show, even when she was deathly ill: “One time I was sick with a bug, I had been vomiting all day, but no way was I going to miss a show. I was sitting there beforehand seeing spots in front of my eyes. I had a plan: if I felt sick on stage I was going to faint, play dead, pretend it was part of the script. Didn’t happen fortunately.”
What kind of work will she do in England? “I would like to do a period piece at least. I enjoyed having a British accent when I did Parent Trap so I guess I am halfway there. The way I see it, the longer I live here the less of a choice you will all have not to hire me for plays… ”
