Molly Ringwald

I have a very independent spirit.

Whatever it is that gives you that confidence will vary from person to person, but I do believe that it is the key to succeeding at anything in life - career, relationships, anything.

When you say you're 40, you can't call yourself an ingenue any more.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

As the mother of a grown son with a traumatic brain injury, I couldn't be more excited about the prospect of finding out how to repair even a small part of the damage that changed his life.

I generally don't follow domestic news that much aside from how it relates to the stories I'm covering abroad, like what Americans think of the War in Afghanistan.
