More quotes by Carrie Fisher
All my life I've been seeing things through the culture. My father, for instance, was the press's bad boy. People really hated him. He was always a big flirt. He was always in trouble - going bankrupt, whatever.
Carrie Fisher
Running for office is the least aerobic of the socially interactive sports.
Carrie Fisher
I like that - the you-ish character.
Carrie Fisher
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.
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
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
For Star Wars, they had me tape down my breasts because there are no breasts in space. I have some. I have two.
Carrie Fisher
A lot of people have told me, you know, that what I've written about, they identify with strongly.
Carrie Fisher
Still, the word boyfriend starts to sound pathetic after age 30.
Carrie Fisher
You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well.
Carrie Fisher
In the Fifties, my parents were known as 'America's sweethearts'. Their pictures graced the covers of all the newspapers. They were the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston of their day.
Carrie Fisher
I still give my friends relationship advice, of course, and I'm not bad at it. 'Anyone's crisis but mine' is my motto.
Carrie Fisher
I don't think 50-50 relationships exist. Men have an incredibly variety of options. It's much harder for a woman to do both things. I think traditional relationships work best.
Carrie Fisher
What worries me is, what if this guy is really the one for me and I just haven't had enough therapy yet for me to be comfortable with having found him.
Carrie Fisher
The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him, because we wanted to see what his face looked like when it changed expression--and he fooled us even then. He got Industrial Light and Magic to change his facial expressions for him and THX sound to make the noise of a face-changing expression.
Carrie Fisher
I mean, that's at least in part why I ingested chemical waste - it was a kind of desire to abbreviate myself. To present the CliffNotes of the emotional me, as opposed to the twelve-column read.
Carrie Fisher
I like having written better than I like having acted.
Carrie Fisher
Anything you can do in excess for the wrong reasons is exciting to me.
Carrie Fisher
Then I overdosed at 28, at which point I began to accept the bipolar diagnosis.
Carrie Fisher
You know how they say that religion is the opiate of the masses? Well I took masses of opiates religiously.
