I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I'm still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you.

More quotes by 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
As a matter of fact [my mother] is very happily married. To a very nice southern gentleman named Roanoke - her first non-Jewish husband, as she likes to say.
Carrie Fisher
My mother is an extraordinary woman, extraordinary.
Carrie Fisher
People see me and they squeal like tropical birds or seals stranded on the beach.
Carrie Fisher
I like performing. I like partnering with an audience.
Carrie Fisher
Eventually, life of the party is just like any other job. I've thought of myself that way at times, but it's sort of like holding everybody hostage. It diminishes everyone else. And ultimately, your friends don't require it of you.
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
My extroversion is a way of managing my introversion.
Carrie Fisher
All I know is that you can chop up all the onions and the whatevers you want and put it on top of caviar, but you still can't disguise the fact that you're eating fish eggs. Ugh!
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
Actors may know how to act, but a lot of them don't know how to behave.
Carrie Fisher
My favorite films are ones that have my lines in it, and I like those lines. And I like to hear them.
Carrie Fisher
I've never met a deadline I couldn't miss. I make sure my editors know this.
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
My favorite one to see is the metal bikini on men.
Carrie Fisher
I like having written better than I like having acted.
Carrie Fisher
I have a second dog, too, mainly for security.
Carrie Fisher
Generally someone will eventually tell you that you have to do something to help yourself.
Carrie Fisher
Tom Hanks was really great [the 'Burbs']. The director, Joe Dante, was wonderful. We filmed it here during the summer, every day at Universal. Even the food was good - I mean it was junk but it was really good. The whole thing was like some ideal summer-school experience. It may not have been the best movie ever, but it was certainly the most fun.
Carrie Fisher
Still, the word boyfriend starts to sound pathetic after age 30.
