Amanda Bynes has spoken out for the first time in 4 years.<br /><br />And we have to say, we’re very impressed with how far she’s come.<br /><br />To give you some perspective, Bynes had a tough couple years not that long ago. She was living in New York, getting in trouble, and a lot of her fans were worried about her health and safety.<br /><br />But now, speaking to Hollyscoop, she sais she’s been sober for three years and her train wreck days are long behind her.<br /><br />She said she missed acting and is going to start up her career again.<br /><br />She wants to do TV, maybe a few guest spots here and there and maybe another show where she gets to star.<br /><br />The 31 year old added that she’s going to Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising and plans to start her own line.<br /><br />Bynes has learned to sew, make patterns, and is taking things one step at a time.<br /><br />All in all, we’re happy to see her making an incredible recovery… and we hope this is just start of a new chapter.<br /> <br />
