Lindsay Lohan has said that she's fed up with the party girl tag she's carrying and wants people to concentrate more on her acting performances.

Specifically she's been talking about her latest role in I Know You Killed Me, a story which focuses on a girl who is rescued after being tortured by a serial killer. Returning home she appears to believe she's someone else, is she suffering from a dual personality or is something more sinister going on? Sounds a great plot.

"At first I was like, 'I can't do this, I'm getting my legs cut off. I don't want to look like that in scenes, I want to look decent.' But that was just me being young and stupid...And I have my first sex scene in it, which I always said I wouldn't do. I wanted to do this movie so people can see that I'm a f**king actress and I've been doing it forever and it's about time people see that. It felt so good to really act."

Wow, she's pretty serious about that, but while she comes out with some strong and positive comments there, I think she goes and blows it with her follow up comments from PR Inside:

"The thing with the press, and why they need to leave me the f**k alone for a little bit, is because I don't want that distracting from my work...I want to get a nomination. I want to win an Oscar. I want to be known for more than, like, going out. For being the 'party girl'. I hate that. I bust my ass when I'm filming and when I have time off, yeah, I like to go out and dance."

Well I get the whole private life and party hard bit, but to say it's the press that's distracting her after the recent comments from some people she's worked with, as well as her publicised private/work life, I wonder if she's doing herself any favours taking this stance. Let's hope the acting does speak for itself and it puts the negative comments behind Lindsay Lohan and her career.
