More quotes by 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
Sometimes when people have kids young, they're not ready.
Molly Ringwald
When I was a little kid I thought I would grow up to be black and sing jazz in nightclubs.

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.

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.

Jazz is my comfort music, like comfort food.
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
Getting the pretty back is about getting back in touch with your essential self: the part of you that knows what you really want.
Molly Ringwald
I can't stand films that make the kids out to be heroes and the parents to be imbeciles.
Molly Ringwald
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
When I was turning 40, I felt that there were no books out there that hit the spot in terms of what I wanted to read.
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'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
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
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
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.
