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.
Carrie Fisher
I like having written better than I like having acted.
Carrie Fisher
There is no point at which you can say, Well, I'm successful now. I might as well take a nap.

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
There are very few women from my mother's generation who worked like that, who just kept a career going all her life and raised children and had horrible relationships and lost all her money and got it back again.
Carrie Fisher
Then I overdosed at 28, at which point I began to accept the bipolar diagnosis.
Carrie Fisher
I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.
Carrie Fisher
Life is a cruel, horrible joke and I am the punch line.
Carrie Fisher
My mom is a little bit eccentric. I mean, she does - she has a lot of unique ideas. For example, she thought that I should have a child with her last husband, Richard, because it would have nice eyes.
