Bynes, who's new movie "She's The Man" opens this Friday, told "Access Hollywood," "I'm so happy as a person that I don't like to go to parties...when I do go there I don't feel happy and it's sort of like a empty thing. I don't enjoy it and I prefer to be with my family." Bynes added, "If they (the paparazzi) catch me I will be at a club dancing having fun...I'll be there for fun, but that is once in a while."

When asked if living at home influences her lifestyle, Bynes added, "No, it's who I am. Even when I lived on my own and I will live on my own again soon, but I am really close to my family and they are the best and if you had parents like mine, I feel like you would live there too and it's just nice to have a family that just gets you and is supportive, which I appreciate."
