Whenever people ask me how I manage to get through this whole crazy time of being incredibly famous and sort of an icon and supposedly a role model and all of this insanity, I always cite my family and then books. I don't know what I would have done without books.

Image
When I was a little kid I thought I would grow up to be black and sing jazz in nightclubs.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I felt all the things that other teenagers felt. I was insecure in lots of ways, over-confident in others. I was very emotional. Excitable.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I'm really intimidated by beautiful people. Beautiful guys, especially.
Molly Ringwald
Image
Sometimes when people have kids young, they're not ready.
Molly Ringwald
Image
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
To preach abstinence, I think, is absolutely not the right message to give to kids.
Molly Ringwald
Image
Automatically everybody thinks of me as an actress who is trying to sing. And if I weren't me I'd probably think the same thing.
Molly Ringwald
Image
I never felt terribly comfortable in the public eye.
