Lindsay Lohan is an open book.

The 27-year-old Inconceivable actress guest co-hosted The View Friday, where she spoke candidly about her OWN docu-series, her romantic status and her career aspirations. Lohan proudly announced that her sobriety is going "great" and said she has no regrets about letting cameras follow her after she left rehab last year. "I think it's important to be open and share that with people," she explained. "Especially with me, because people have so many misconceptions about knowing a person directly."

Asked what the biggest misconception about her is, the tabloid target laughed and replied, "I don't even know where to start." All kidding aside, the 2 Broke Girls guest star said she wants to be taken seriously in Hollywood—and she hopes people will give her the chance to do so. "I became an actress because that's what I love to do, and I think a lot of people forgot that that's what I'm actually in this industry for," Lohan told the co-hosts. "So I think throughout the show, it's a bit of a journey of me getting back into work mode and fighting to get the roles that I want to get, which I'm willing to do."

Lohan is taking matters into her own hands—though her team does help. "I'm very proactive," she said. "I'll email people myself, or I'll go to the studio myself, and I like doing that." Co-host Sherri Shepherd then joked, "They let you on the studio?" Lohan laughed and told Shepherd, "Watch it!"

The star revealed that she's not dating anyone, saying, "That's been a distraction for me in the past." Lohan stressed that her top priorities are focusing on her well being and revamping her movie career.
