"Your life changes. Everything has to be done perfectly, and I didn't follow that. I lived my life as if I wasn't in the public eye. I thought, 'I'm young. I have the right to experience new things, and if I want to go to a bar and get drunk, that's my prerogative.'"

In this quote, Shannen Doherty assesses how her life changed when she ended up being a public figure. She describes that there is a pressure to constantly be perfect and to never ever make errors. Nevertheless, she confesses that she did not always follow this expectation and instead lived her life as if she was not continuously in the public eye. She believed that as a young adult, she deserved to attempt new things and make errors, such as going to a bar and getting drunk. This quote highlights the struggle of balancing personal freedom and public expectations when living life in the spotlight.
