And I imagine there’s a very different experience to be had with acting if you’re proud of your roles, and if you feel fulfilled by them.” “My friends at 15, they’re not like, ‘Oh, cool, you’re on this Nickelodeon show.’ It was embarrassing. “My experience with acting is, I’m so ashamed of the parts I’ve done in the past,” she said on the “Empty Inside” podcast in early 2021.

In conversation with TIME, Jennette McCurdy reveals her writing process behind 'I'm Glad My Mom Died,' her funny and insightful memoir.

I’m working on a novel and a collection of essays now. But I would also talk to her like she’s a person, while also respecting that she’s a child. That was when I started to be able to connect with myself and identify what I wanted and needed. This is so corny, but I mean it genuinely—I think of Hollywood less as a domineering force, and more about the people in Hollywood that you surround yourself with. So my hope is that people continue to prioritize their own mental health and continue doing that work. But there were a lot of comments that made me uncomfortable. First off, I would make sure that the set hires a child psychologist to be present for her. How can we get me to a place where I’ve got the perspective to do it?” But it was several years of really intense therapy before I started feeling like I could explore all that personal stuff creatively. Movies, books, and shows can provide a lot of comfort and solace. My grandfather provided me a lot of love and support.
