More From Molly Ringwald

I never felt like a happy-go-lucky ingenue to begin with. and parts are written better when you're older. when you're young, you're written to be an ingenue, and you're written to be a quality. you're actually not written to be a person, you're written for your youth to inspire someone else, usually a man. so i find it just much more liberating.

For me to want to be an actor was an improbable idea. i wasn't beautiful or pretty in any conventional way. i wasn't an ingenue at 22. but i was always certain of it and certain of its power. i felt the power when i went to the theater at 9, 10, 12 and 14.
Beautiful Ideas Actors
I come from the theater, and i've done a lot of character work in the theater, but hollywood stuff in film and tv, they've been more leading lady/ingenue type roles.

For me, you don't ever want to be defined by the color of your skin. you want to be defined by your work ethic, the person that you are, your character, your personality. that's what i've tried to go out and do.

We're not trying to prove the character of god through science. that's a bad idea. what i'm trying to do is clear away the misunderstandings, the debris that prevent people from accepting that god who wants to accept them.
