Actress Sean Young has learned to control her "social hostility" problems following a spell in rehab.

The No Way Out star checked herself into a self-help facility to tackle alcohol issues earlier this year after she was escorted from the Directors Guild of America Awards show in Hollywood for heckling nominee Julian Schnabel.

Now, clean and sober, the actress admits she had become hostile to all things Hollywood and needed to take a break from Tinseltown.

Promoting the upcoming second season of reality TV show Gone Country, which will feature Young as a celebrity contestant, the actress says, "I'm feeling really good. My social anxiety had sort of turned into social hostility (and) I just don't want to deal with it anymore."

Young insists her rehab stint also made her realise it was time for her to concentrate on being a good mum.

She adds, "My interest (in fighting for big acting roles) has waned a lot because I just feel like I don't get the attention I deserve in terms of getting better parts, and I'm much more interested in raising my kids."

The actress has two sons, Rio and Quinn, from her 12-year marriage to actor Bob Lujan.

Actress Sean Young has checked into a rehab facility in California just days after she was forcibly removed from the Directors Guild Of America Awards for her unruly behavior. The Blade Runner star was escorted from Saturday's event after heckling The Diving Bell and the Butterfly filmmaker Julian Schnabel as he attempted to make a speech from the stage. Reports suggested Young was inebriated at the ceremony. According to her publicist, Young, 48, checked into "an undisclosed" rehabilitation center on Monday in a bid to tackle alcohol issues. The representative says, "It is understood that Young has struggled against the disease for many years."

Actress Sean Young was escorted from the Directors Guild Of America Awards show on Saturday for heckling filmmaker Julian Schnabel, nominated for his film The Diving Bell And The Butterfly. Schnabel was the last of the five Best Director nominees to take the stage to make a speech at the Los Angeles ceremony - but, after a few moments, he was forced to stop when Young shouted, "Come on - get to it!" A shocked Schnabel stopped to find out the identity of his heckler, and asked Young to finish his speech for him. Schnabel then returned to his speech after receiving encouragement from the star-studded audience, while Young was escorted out of the venue by two security guards, falling over as she left.
