Lindsay Lohan thinks she was too much of a "yes person" during her younger years

She told The Sun newspaper: "I was always such a 'yes' person to my agents and everyone that no one ever really took the time to ask me, 'Do you wanna chill for a second?'

"And if I knew then what I know now, I'd definitely have used the word 'no' a lot more."

Lindsay has managed to turn her life around over the last decade, and she now has a two-year-old son called Luai with Bader Shammas, her husband.

The Hollywood star thinks her younger self would actually feel "very proud of the mother and wife" she's become.

Lindsay - who now lives in Dubai with her family - said: "I love it so much. I'm obsessed with my kid.

"The other day I said, 'Luai, don't do that - not a good idea', and now he goes, 'Luai, don't do that?...?' He mocks me.

"If my husband's like, 'No, Luai', then he listens. But for me, it's like he laughs at me. But I'm fine with it. I love every second."

Lindsay recently revealed that she lives "a very normal life" in Dubai.

The movie star relishes the relative anonymity that she's afforded in the city, admitting that it's very different from Hollywood.

Lindsay - who moved to Dubai back in 2014 - said on Live with Kelly and Mark: "It's just far away from Hollywood, and I live a very normal life.

"There's no worry of like, I can't go eat at this place 'cause someone's gonna take a picture of my son. And it's just ... I feel very safe."

Lindsay loves that her family can enjoy quality time together without being bothered.

The Freakier Friday star said: "You can't take a picture of someone else if you're in a restaurant. You have to ask the person, which is a big difference from here."
