More quotes by Carrie Fisher
Don't you see? We've become smart enough to justify stupid behavior. Like, 'I'm angry at him and I didn't express it, so I turned my anger inward and now it's depression, so in order to feel good again, what I should do is call him and express my anger.' It's like, if we can make it sound smart enough, we're allowed to do stupid things.

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
I was telling some people in my dressing room some of my other stories, my psychotic break, and blah, blah, blah, and no, they kind of look at you and it's just not what they wanted to hear.
Carrie Fisher
Still, the word boyfriend starts to sound pathetic after age 30.
Carrie Fisher
Until adolescence I thought I had the best mother in the world. Such a graceful mother. I had this fantasy that I was the wrong daughter.
Carrie Fisher
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
Carrie Fisher
Anything you can do in excess for the wrong reasons is exciting to me.
Carrie Fisher
I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.
