When I was a little kid I thought I would grow up to be black and sing jazz in nightclubs. – Molly Ringwald
I like to say, jazz music is kind of like my musical equivalent of comfort food. You know, its always where I go back to when I just want to feel sort of grounded. – Molly Ringwald
I wish I had been more prepared, both for success and for failure, when I was younger. – Molly Ringwald
The most successful career must show a waste of strength that might have removed mountains, and the most unsuccessful is not that of the man who is taken unprepared, but of him who has prepared and is never taken. On a tragedy of that kind our national morality is duly silent. – E. M. Forster
As a precocious teen I dreamed of being Graham Greene. Well, as it turned out, I never wrote a great novel, sadly, and I never converted to Catholicism, happily, but I did do one thing he did. That is, in middle age I moved to a seaside town and got into a right barney with the local powers-that-be. – Julie Burchill
