Hayden Panettiere found writing her memoir to be a "therapeutic experience".

The 36-year-old star will release the book later this year and revealed that she won't "hold back" when it comes to telling her life story.

In an interview with Extra, Hayden said: "I will say, it was a very therapeutic experience. I've been writing it for about two years and it's terrifying all at the same time. I mean it, I put it all out there. I was like, if I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna go for it. I'm not gonna hold back.

"I just hope that by sharing my experiences, it can inspire and help other people going through whatever, you know, they're going through in their lives."

The Scream star expressed hope that the "warts and all" memoir is a relatable read for all.

Hayden said: "I hope it connects to everyone. I mean, even if we haven't gone through the exact same thing, human emotions are so layered. We've all been through traumatic experiences and we've all, you know, we've lost people, and we've, you know, we've fallen on our faces.

"I mean, I have fallen on my face many, many, many times, but it's about, you know, what you do after you fall on your face, you know, picking yourself up, dusting yourself off, and figuring out how to keep on keeping on."

The Nashville actress added: "I had to go all in and that's what I do and I'm not going to apologise for it. And it's me... warts and all."

Panettiere also starred as Claire Bennet in the NBC drama series Heroes and revealed that she would be willing to feature in a reboot of the superhero show, which aired between 2006 and 2010, if it came to fruition.

She said: "We got it right for, especially that first big season, was pretty amazing. It'd be hard not to do it with the same cast, but it was a really powerful show, and it was just, you know, it was a phenomenon. It was something, it was one of a kind that I got a chance to be a part of, even just once. Even just once is good enough for me, but you never know. You never know.

"I'm down for it all."
