So when I was 24, someone suggested to me that I was bipolar, and I thought that was ridiculous. I just thought he was trying to get out of treating me. But he was also responding to the chaotic nature of my life.

More quotes by Carrie Fisher
I don't want to be a victim.
Carrie Fisher
I did Google myself recentle - without lubricant. I don't recommend it.
Carrie Fisher
In my opinion, a problem derails your life and an inconvenience is not being able to get a nice seat on the un-derailed train.
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
I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.
Carrie Fisher
You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well.
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
A lot of people have told me, you know, that what I've written about, they identify with strongly.
Carrie Fisher
I don't want to be caught ... ashamed of anything. And because generally someone who has bipolar doesn't have just bipolar, they have bipolar, and they have a life and a job and a kid and a hat and parents, so its not your overriding identity, it's just something that you have, but not the only thing - even if it's quite a big thing.
Carrie Fisher
I shot through my twenties like a luminous thread through a dark needle, blazing toward my destination: Nowhere.
Carrie Fisher
[When Harry Met Sally] was fine, but it was a job. And I did it right after The 'Burbs.
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
Still, the word boyfriend starts to sound pathetic after age 30.
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
Having waited my entire life to get an award for something, anything...I now get awards all the time for being mentally ill. It’s better than being bad at being insane, right? How tragic would it be to be runner-up for Bipolar Woman of the Year?
Carrie Fisher
Sex was for men. 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'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
I can't say that period talk is my favorite bonding arena. But I also think it's sort of funny.
Carrie Fisher
I like performing. I like partnering with an audience.
