Lindsay Lohan is a "very positive person" - but she's learned to temper her enthusiasm.
The 39-year-old actress admits that she's learned an important life lesson thanks to her husband Bader Shammas.
The Hollywood star - who tied the knot in 2022 - told People: "I’m a very positive person so I always expect everything to go the way it’s supposed to go — and my husband has taught me, ‘You have to be prepared for other things, so you don’t get disappointed. If this doesn’t go that way, then it’s okay.' And that’s really important to me because I never really understood the value of that.
"You are your own vessel. If you don’t nurture yourself, anything can distract you in a second. Anything can take a turn."
Lindsay previously confessed to being too much of a "yes person" during her younger years.
The actress endured a turbulent spell early in her career, when she was arrested a number of times, and Lindsay now looks back on her younger years with some regrets.
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 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."
