Of course I miss [drugs]. And anyone who tells you they don't is lying.

I just admire my mother very much.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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.

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.

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.

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.

My mother is an immensely powerful woman.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I like having written better than I like having acted.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I spent a year in a 12-step program, really committed, because I could not believe what had happened - that I might have killed myself.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I don't like my face. I don't like to look at it.
Carrie Fisher

Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
Carrie Fisher
Image
A lot of the time, I'm just smart enough to be unhappy.
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!

I like performing. I like partnering with an audience.

You know how they say that religion is the opiate of the masses? Well I took masses of opiates religiously.
