Lindsay Lohan: primed for a comeback that could be her last

"I just need to shut up and listen. In this case (in rehab) I wasn't fighting at all," she said, adding that it was clear that her idea of what works hasn't in the past.

Lohan spoke of a life steeped in chaos, starting with her home life, although she differed with a common perception that her parents had exploited her talents for financial gain.

"Nobody's perfect," she said of her parents, themselves tabloid fodder, adding "I love my family."

"I don't think anything was intentionally done ... they're just parents," Lohan said when Winfrey asked about the possibility of her parents having exploited her.

"I don't blame anyone for my mistakes," she added. "I did that, and I'm not proud of it."

But Lohan said she felt many of her demons have endured due to "all the chaos around me, that I was so comfortable with."

Since completing a court-ordered 90-day stint in rehab on July 31, the actress has enlisted a "sober coach" to help her stay clean and guest-hosted comedienne Chelsea Handler's talk show "Chelsea Lately" on US cable network E!.

Her latest film, "The Canyons," was excoriated by critics, but many praised her performance.

Lohan, who will also be the subject of a reality series on OWN next year, is required to attend weekly therapy sessions over the next 15 months to comply with a court order for a reckless driving charge.
