Depending on how heavy the thing you're hanging is they make a special drywall anchor. they are called "toggler." They sell them at Lowe's. They come in different sizes and each size has a different weight capacity. I used them to hang a 55 inch TV on the wall and they work great. check the required drillbit size before you leave the store. Mine required a half inch drillbit. Oh, and make sure you read the directions carefully. There's a very specific way to install them and you don't want to have to throw any away because they're expensive.
