I don't want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I'm not interested in doing that anymore.

More quotes by Carrie Fisher
People see me and they squeal like tropical birds or seals stranded on the beach.
Carrie Fisher
Now it's dedicated to my grandparents and to both of my parents. The first book was dedicated to my mother so I thought maybe it was my father's turn, but then I realized that everyone would jump on that and assume I'd had some falling out with my mother, which is absolutely not the case.
Carrie Fisher
I like birds and dogs. I'm allergic to cats.
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 wanted to be, you know, just no different than anybody else.
Carrie Fisher
This actress named Lisa Eilbacher. I was up for the part in Shampoo and friends of mine kept telling me she was going around saying all these bad things about me. It's like we're still in the sixth grade sometimes.
Carrie Fisher
I rarely think about my childhood. It's a slippery thing I can't keep hold of for long - it slithers out of my grasp. And a lot of the time I remember what was missing instead of what was there. I am a chronicler of absence.
Carrie Fisher
You know how they say that religion is the opiate of the masses? Well I took masses of opiates religiously.
Carrie Fisher
I am a spy in the house of me. I report back from the front lines of the battle that is me. I am somewhat nonplused by the event that is my life.
Carrie Fisher
My fear is that I will be crushed in an elevator and my mother will get hold of my journals from my adolescence.
Carrie Fisher
Females get hired along procreative lines. After 40, we're kind of cooked.
Carrie Fisher
My mother is an immensely powerful woman.
Carrie Fisher
The parrots are great. They do something I refer to as the Phone Call from Venus. They repeat all my phone conversations. It can very annoying - like having a lot of children in the house screaming.
Carrie Fisher
I like the community of acting better than the prison of writing. I like sets.
Carrie Fisher
The message about sex and relationships that she had gotten as a child... was confused, contradictory. Sex was for men, and marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.
Carrie Fisher
I enjoy taking jobs that make fun of me - or me as Princess Leia, or me as the writer, or whatever, as some idea.
Carrie Fisher
I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.
Carrie Fisher
My mother is an extraordinary woman, extraordinary.
Carrie Fisher
Running for office is the least aerobic of the socially interactive sports.
Carrie Fisher
A story a friend told me about being in New York and meeting this Latin-lover kind of guy. They went up to her hotel room, and the guy kind of pounced on her and told her to spread her legs, shouting, Surrender the pink! Surrender the pink! That's where it's from.
