I used to sing with my father's jazz band and then when I was ten years old a musician friend of his suggested that I try out for the first west coast production of Annie.

Image
I like to say, jazz music is kind of like my musical equivalent of comfort food. You know, it's always where I go back to when I just want to feel sort of grounded.

Usually the kids are portrayed as very one-dimensional. Like these mindless animals that just have three things on their minds: getting laid, getting drunk, and driving real fast over Mulholland Drive.

I think we do live in a very specialized society, where once you think about somebody as one thing, it's hard to change that. But I do a lot of things. I act, I write, I sing.
Molly Ringwald
Image
All of the advice that I give, I'm not an expert by any means, but it's just my opinion. So if somebody likes me or likes y style or my career, I think they should have that feeling.

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 write in bed, too. I find it very comforting. I want to sort of, like, crawl in a fetal position if I have to.
Molly Ringwald
Image
The wonderful thing about books is you never run out of them, you can just keep going. So I'm always finding new writers, or old writers that I just happen not to have read.

Image
I can't' really sing a song unless I really connect with the lyrics.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I wish I had been more prepared, both for success and for failure, when I was younger.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I think once you're a mother, you kind of always see your kids as a baby anyway no matter how old they get.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I never felt terribly comfortable in the public eye.
Molly Ringwald
Image
It's the universal feeling that we all are alone - that we're all different. I think the movie's one resounding theme is that everybody feels the same, and we're all alone together. Some people come up to me on the street and thank me for helping them get through their teen years.

I never really felt like I belonged in California.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I'm so associated with being young and being with a teenager.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I've always been the go-to girl for all of my girlfriends in terms of relationship advice or clothing advice.

I don't have control over how people choose to perceive me. The only thing I have control over is my writing.
