Six months after leaving Cirque Lodge in Utah, Lindsay Lohan is opening up about her party-girl image, getting back to work and how she’s ridding her life of bad influences, and the wrong people, by sharpening her instincts. Here are some highlights from her first interview, given to the March 2008 U.K. edition of Glamour, since being in rehab.

On avoiding the temptations of Hollywood:“I don’t think it’s just young Hollywood - it’s the process of growing up. I’ve learned the hard way but, all in all, you learn and you grow and you become a stronger person”

On meeting three different men in Capri:”If I’d been with every man I’ve been linked with I’d probably be dead by now! Generally speaking, my friends are much worse - I’m the goody-goody one by comparison. I’ve had to grow up fast. I’ve had a lot of responsibility from a young age.”

On Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse:“I think lots of people go through dark times, but it’s even harder with everyone watching. It’s a lot of pressure and I really feel for them, but I can’t compare myself to them. Everyone is their own person and they will overcome it in their own ways.”

On misconceptions about her:”The biggest misconception is probably that I don’t have my head in the right place. That, and probably that I’m not a good person. That makes me sad, because actually I am.”

On what or who she is allergic to aside from dogs:”Liars and mean people. I’m a Cancerian so I’m sensitive and emotional, but very honest - so I don’t like liars. Also I don’t understand people who are mean for no reason.”
