The actress Lindsay Lohan says in a prerecorded interview with NBC's Today show that she felt "uncomfortable" the last time she went out partying and that she had turned into more of a homebody, People magazine reported.
"That's not my thing anymore," she tells host Matt Lauer in the interview set to air on Thursday morning.
"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."
Lohan - who has had a well-publicised battle with drugs and alcohol - is near the end of a 60-day community service stint at a Los Angeles morgue and is likely to move soon to informal probation.
She is currently on probation after pleading no contest in May 2011 to stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Los Angeles boutique, in addition to a 2007 DUI case.
In the Today interview, Lohan says had been "in denial" and needed "a wake-up call" about her party antics and was looking forward to returning to the spotlight this weekend by hosting Saturday Night Live.
"I still need to go through the process of proving myself,"
Lohan says.
"You know, with SNL, being on time, being, you know, keeping my - can't say the word - but stuff together."
Meanwhile, sources close to Lohan said she told SNL producers that nothing will be off-limits on the show's March 3 episode, TMZ reported.
The 25-year-old wants to show that she is in on the joke as she tries to put the public's focus on her acting instead of her tabloid-worthy exploits, the sources said.
She reportedly contacted SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels personally and asked to host the show. She has previously hosted three times between 2004 and 2006.
She appeared before a judge last week in Los Angeles to report that she had completed 15 days of community service and five therapy sessions since her previous court date in January.
Judge Stephanie Sautner was pleased with Lohan's progress, telling her she was "in the homestretch" and could finish her probation by her next court hearing, set for March 29.
In addition to her SNL gig, Lohan is rumored to be preparing to star in an Elizabeth Taylor biopic on Lifetime, though the cable network would not confirm the casting report when contacted by NewsCore.
