Lindsay Lohan has admitted making mistakes in the past but says she will do all it takes to get her career back on track. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the 24-year-old actress acknowledges "dabbling in certain things" in the past. But in a July interview with the magazine - given before she served 14 days in jail followed by 23 days of in-patient rehab - she defended her actions, saying she was young, curious but was associating with the wrong people. "So many people around me would say they cared for the wrong reasons. "A lot of people were pulling from me, taking from me and not giving. I had a lot of people that were there for me for, you know, the party." The Mean Girls star says she used to get her news from tabloids, which she now calls "scary and sad". "I would look up to those girls ... the Britneys and whatever. And I would be like, I want to be like that." However, Lohan is confident in her acting abilities and future. "I don't care what anyone says. I know that I'm a damn good actress. "I want my career back, I want the respect that I had when I was doing great movies. "And if that takes not going out to a club at night, then so be it. It's not fun anyway." She also addresses issues with her father, Michael Lohan, saying, "I think my biggest focus for myself is learning how to continue to get through the trauma that my father has caused in my life." Lohan talks about the mixed signals of seeing her father in court crying over her but then speaking to the media afterward. Source: Sky News
