You can use small plastic anchors that your screws will lock into and expand to hold tight against wall.. I use then for almost everything
toggle bolts will hold anything-- but depending on the weight molies will work as Bobbie said-- use med size.
There are special anchors for drywall.. do not try to put in regular anchors made for studs..
I am using them for brackets in my kitchen . I live in a double wide and I would not say its built like a house..I think the studs are 1 x 1's...I am installing open shelving and have to make sure the shelves can hold up some weight with nothing but drywall to screw into., Hillman has hollow core anchors that will do it.

Many types of drywall anchors are available.
Thanks everyone! Off to the hardware store!
