Lindsay Lohan claims she has learned from her mistakes.

'I am what I am,' she says.

'I had a lot going on in my life and that was a way of hiding from it. I hadn't seen my dad; I had a lot of work stress 'cause I was constantly working and never took time to stop.

'Everything was go-go-go, and the easiest thing was to run away from it, going out and drinking at night.'

'Right now I just want to find a great script, a great role,' Lindsay tells Paper magazine. 'I was so used to working and working and working, and for a good few months there was nothing for me to do.

'Now I know what it's like to be an out-of-work actor, and how much it scares me.'
