More quotes by Molly Ringwald
I don't have control over how people choose to perceive me. The only thing I have control over is my writing.
Molly Ringwald
I can't stand films that make the kids out to be heroes and the parents to be imbeciles.
Molly Ringwald
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
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.
Molly Ringwald
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
To preach abstinence, I think, is absolutely not the right message to give to kids.
Molly Ringwald
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.
Molly Ringwald
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?'
Molly Ringwald
When I was a little kid I thought I would grow up to be black and sing jazz in nightclubs.
Molly Ringwald
Jazz is my comfort music, like comfort food.
Molly Ringwald
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.
Molly Ringwald
Not all women write the same. But I don't understand why the model is that you're supposed to write like a man, and that means you're a real writer.
Molly Ringwald
I just needed to leave Hollywood.
Molly Ringwald
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
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
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
I think people assume that women write about the domestic sphere. Women write about relationships and family. Men do, too, but then it's the Great American Novel.
Molly Ringwald
I never felt terribly comfortable in the public eye.
Molly Ringwald
I can't' really sing a song unless I really connect with the lyrics.
Molly Ringwald
Yes, my kids come first, but as a parent I need to come to them with a fresh mind. I can't be too exhausted or too tired. And I am a better parent when I have more energy.
Molly Ringwald
