We love Shannen Doherty on-screen as the infamous Brenda Walsh... but we love her even more when she's talking off-screen!

The 90210 actress chatted with Details Magazine about fame, failed romances and the show that made her a star.

"I don't think Brenda was a complete brat," exclaims Shannen. "The love of her life was stolen from her. That can really injure a young girl's esteem." She later adds that "there were moments when I hated Brenda, but there were other moments when I saw vulnerability and greatness in her, and believed her passion for life would make her a great actor—but not someone you would necessarily want to hang out with."

Well said! But so why do the show again if you never really liked the character you were playing?

Shannen explains: "When the news came that they were bringing back 90210, friends started e-mailing me stuff from fan sites that said Brenda had to be on the show. I can pay my mortgage and ride my horses because of those fans. This is how I can repay them."

Oh, and then there's the whole "I haven't made the best choices in men" discussion... like when Doherty married Rick Salomon, who would later make the Paris Hilton sex tape!

"I look at what he did [with Hilton] and think, God, that's disgusting," admits Shannen. "But when we were married, I never had someone make me laugh so much. I was madly in love."

Aww - well as long as she has no regrets, that's a good thing! Because what's the point of regretting something you can't change, right?
