(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Lindsay Lohan has said she has "grown up" since being placed under house arrest.

The troubled star insisted that she is ready to turn her life around and take responsibility for her actions following her conviction of felony grand theft.

The actress also revealed that she is eager to start the community service part of her sentence.

"I've grown up -- and I'm willing to do what I have to do to prove that," she told American publication Life & Style. "This may come as a shock, but I mean it: I want to start my community service. I want to finish that so I can work in August and September. You go through experiences. I do understand that I need to gain some of the respect back, but I'm willing to work hard for that. I understand the situations I've put myself in, and I don't want to go back to that."

Lindsay also shared details of how she has been spending her days under arrest in her luxury Malibu mansion.

The 26-year-old said that while she gets visitors, she missed going out and was especially upset to miss her younger brother's birthday.

"I've been having a lot of work-related meetings. Sometimes my friends come over. And I get to see my sister, Ali, which is nice," Lindsay revealed. "When my friends come over, they're not drinking. Alcohol is not in my house, so it's just not a part of my life. I'm a very social person, and I like being outside, especially in Venice Beach. I'd like to get out more - just going out and having dinner. I was really upset not being able to go to my little brother's birthday party. He just turned 16. That bummed me out." (C) Cover Media
