I write in bed, too. I find it very comforting. I want to sort of, like, crawl in a fetal position if I have to.

Jazz is my comfort music, like comfort food.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I didn't have parents who were, you know, racing to get a reality television show, you know? Or looking to benefit in some way from their daughter's fame.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I think once you sort of cross over and you realize what books can be - and if they mean something to you - there's just no stopping you.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I'm really intimidated by beautiful people. Beautiful guys, especially.
Molly Ringwald

I don't really believe in regret. I think you can always learn from the past, but I wouldn't want a different life.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I don't have control over how people choose to perceive me. The only thing I have control over is my writing.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I've done kissing scenes with people who have been loaded. I'd think, 'Do you actually have to drink that Jack Daniels to kiss me?'
