More quotes by Carrie Fisher
I shot through my twenties like a luminous thread through a dark needle, blazing toward my destination: Nowhere.
Carrie Fisher
Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.
Carrie Fisher
My father was a joyous, joyous spirit, he really was. He was a hedonist, that was just - he enjoyed life, thrust up to the elbows with it. He was a terrible father. I don't know that he was parented that well.
Carrie Fisher
I've got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. Chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what I need. Less emotional feedback, less warmth, less approval, less patience and less response. The less the merrier. Chairs it is. I must furnish my heart with feelings for furniture.
Carrie Fisher
A lot of the time, I'm just smart enough to be unhappy.
Carrie Fisher
In the Fifties, my parents were known as 'America's sweethearts'. Their pictures graced the covers of all the newspapers. They were the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston of their day.
Carrie Fisher
I found out when I did the Oprah Winfrey show that there was a cookie jar of me. So she gave it to me. I had no idea prior to that that it even existed.
Carrie Fisher
You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well.
Carrie Fisher
Good anecdote--bad reality.
Carrie Fisher
If talking were aerobic, I'd be the thinnest person in the world.
Carrie Fisher
You're only as sick as your secrets. Either it comes out their way or my way. I talk about myself behind my back. And I'm funny about it.
Carrie Fisher
I've never been that uncomfortable talking about it. Things come out [in the media] about me. When it's out, it's someone else's version of what's the matter with me. I want it to be my version of what it is. My recourse is to do my version.
Carrie Fisher
I envy people who have the capacity to sit with another human being and find them endlessly interesting, I would rather watch TV. Of course this becomes eventually known to the other person.
Carrie Fisher
I was born imagining myself with an apron on, with pies cooling on the window sill and babies crying upstairs. I thought that all that stuff would somehow anchor me to the planet, that it was the weight I needed to keep from just flying off into space.
Carrie Fisher
I'm fine, but I'm bipolar. I'm on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I'm never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It's like being a diabetic.
Carrie Fisher
You know how I always seem to be struggling, even when the situation doesn't call for it?
Carrie Fisher
Generally someone will eventually tell you that you have to do something to help yourself.
Carrie Fisher
I like birds and dogs. I'm allergic to cats.
Carrie Fisher
Come to think of [a handsome young carpenter], Harrison Ford used to be a carpenter.
Carrie Fisher
I went to drama college in England - the Central School of Speech and Drama, in London. I was there for not quite two years, then I got Star Wars.
