Hilary Duff reflected on her child star upbringing at the TIME100 Summit in Manhattan, where Time executive editor Dan Macsai asked if documentaries like “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” or “Framing Britney Spears” changed her perspective on being a child star in the early 2000s.

“I think I feel really quite sad when I watch a lot of those documentaries, for obvious reasons,” Duff said. “I feel very grateful that I wasn’t put in too many positions that left battle wounds on me. But I have held a job as an adult since I was nine years old. I have a very different upbringing. I have a lot of missed experiences, but also a lot of amazing [ones].”
