The last couple years of your life seem to have been particularly eventful -- aside from publishing this book, you've had twins and gotten attention for your role in "The Secret Life of the American Teenager. How did having children change the way you think about the way kids are portrayed on TV and film? I'm an unusual case since I acted professionally as a child. That said, I can't help but be uncomfortable when I see kids in violent scenes, or overtly sexual scenes. I know that it's make-believe, but having children of my own, it's hard to imagine wanting to see my kids in a film that I wouldn't feel would be appropriate for them to watch.
What compelled you to write it? Thank you. I was asked to write something about John, and I did want to honor him. At the same time, I wanted to write something truthful, so that it was a real tribute rather than something generic and impersonal.
A memory that stands out, though, that I did mention in the op ed was trying to get through the car scene with Anthony Michael Hall [in "Sixteen Candles], and laughing so hard with John that they had to cancel the filming of the scene and come back to it.
Like everyone, your style has evolved a great deal from the time you were Is there a phase that you regret? I do regret, as I described in my book, the time that I shaved off half of my eyebrows thinking that I could draw them in better -- and they would grow back anyway.

Personal Quote: [In , she recalled getting fired from The Facts of Life during its second season in ] You know, Nancy McKeon sort of replaced me, in a way. They were trimming down the cast to just four girls, and originally I was going to be one of those girls. But then they changed their mind, decided to go with Nancy McKeon , and booted me out.
MR: I write about it in the book. He posted it on this online group that we were a part of called Quid Pro Quo ; I had never read Cheever before and I found that particular paragraph really stunning. So I wrote to him and I told him that, and he wrote back to me and said that he liked the Stephin Merritt I posted earlier that week…and that started an email correspondence that went on for a while.
MJ: Before this project, you had written literary reviews and done some interviews of other artists. Do you expect to do more writing after this book is out, or are you taking a break for a while? But this one was a lot of work. There was the whole writing process, but then there was the design element to the book. So I am going to take a break. But I am working on my website, which is going to be a sort of blog.
MJ: In your book, you also tell a funny story about recently running into Emilio Estevez. Do you keep in touch with any of the other Brat Pack actors nowadays? But you write in your book that as a kid, you were listening to and performing jazz.
MR: I started out as a singer and thought that was where my main focus would be, because my dad is a musician. But then as I became a teenager, I started listening to contemporary music more. Jazz is my comfort music, like comfort food, but I really love the Magnetic Fields—I just saw them. Do you feel some special affinity with teen stars today?
Do you relate to them in a particular way? But not having had a television for that early time, she is not interested by television at all. What are your thoughts on that? And speaking as a mother, do you have any advice that you would give her? But to preach abstinence, I think, is absolutely not the right message to give to kids.
