The 26-year-old appeared on Good Morning America on Friday, promoting her upcoming Lifetime movie, Liz & Dick, which was daunting for the actress.
Its always nerve-wracking to play someone thats such an incredible force. I was kind of nervous to see what people would think of it, she told Amy Robach.
Amy didnt shy away from asking Lindsay some pointed questions.
Liz Taylors life was out of control at times. And to be honest, so has yours. From the moment you step out of your house theres oftentimes drama, she told the actress. Do you think that your life and career may have been different - would have been different - without the constant scrutiny?
Um, obviously yes, to a certain extent. But I think that everyone goes through things in life. I like to learn from my mistakes. But I wouldnt be who I am today if I hadnt gone through certain things. And everything happens for a reason, good or bad, the actress said. So you can just, you know, take what youve learned from it and move forward.
When asked who she seeks support from, Lindsay said her family is her go to group.
Elizabeth Taylor actually went to her mother a lot, she explained. Im pretty much the same. My mom and my siblings.
As for her new half-sister, Ashley Horn, 17, who was revealed to be Michael Lohans daughter this week on T! he Trisha Goddard Show, Lindsay said she was unaware of her until asked about her.
I didnt even hear that, so thanks for the news. I dont pay attention to any of it, she said. I dont really want to get into that I want to stay on the positive side of things.
Lindsay simply wants to focus on work.
I keep calling my agents saying, Keep me on set! Safer that way, she said. Im in a great place. I just want to move forward. Keep working. Im in the process of kind of moving and spending time with my family and just being happy.
