Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan says she is putting her bad girl image behind her and starting a fresh chapter in life, getting back to acting after recent years of personal turmoil that included arrests and stints in jail. Lohan, who became a fixture on the Hollywood nightlife scene as a young actress, said parties were “not my thing anymore” and she was more comfortable being a “homebody.” “I went out, actually, a few months ago with a friend. And I was so uncomfortable. Not because I felt tempted, just because it was just the same thing that it always was before. And it just wasn’t fun for me. I’ve become more of a homebody. And I like that,” the actress said in an interview. Lohan rose to fame as a likeable child star in Disney movies such as ‘The Parent Trap’ and comedies including ‘Freaky Friday,’ but has been in and out of jail and rehab since 2007 when she was arrested for drunk driving and cocaine possession. She currently is serving court-ordered community service after she admitted stealing a gold necklace from a California jewellery store in January 2011. Lohan has expressed measures of regret before only to find herself back in trouble afterward. In an interview, she said: “I have made a lot of mistakes and I recognised that, but I am in the clear now,” and after failing a drug test, she tweeted, “I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps forward everyday.” The ‘Mean Girls’ actress admitted to being in denial over her issues, saying it was “a scary thing” to express to people. “I wasn’t as comfortable with myself then. I think it was a fear factor that I had about what was really going on. And, you know, I had to get that wakeup call,” said Lohan.
