More quotes by Carrie Fisher
I just admire my mother very much.
Carrie Fisher
You can't really accurately diagnose someone, I think. Or I've been told that.
Carrie Fisher
Finding the cutest guy in A.A. is like finding the cutest loony in the bin.
Carrie Fisher
You're not famous until you're a Pez dispenser.
Carrie Fisher
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
Carrie Fisher
[I was filmed] against a blue screen [in the Star Wars]. All the rest came later, in Lucasland. They did have me take gun lessons, though. I went to the same guys who taught Robert De Niro for Taxi Driver.
Carrie Fisher
I always felt the Jewish part more. In fact, growing up I felt like a Jew among WASPs. My brother is more decidedly Waspy.
Carrie Fisher
I get lots of awards for being mentally ill. Apparently, I am better at being mentally ill than almost anything else I've ever done. Seriously - I have a shelf of awards for being bipolar.
Carrie Fisher
As a matter of fact [my mother] is very happily married. To a very nice southern gentleman named Roanoke - her first non-Jewish husband, as she likes to say.
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
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
Generally someone will eventually tell you that you have to do something to help yourself.
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
I have a second dog, too, mainly for security.
Carrie Fisher
My mother is an immensely powerful woman.
Carrie Fisher
I used to want to gamble, too, until I was 20 and could actually go to a casino. Then I wasn't so crazy about the attitude.
Carrie Fisher
Life is a cruel, horrible joke and I am the punch line.
Carrie Fisher
I've never been that uncomfortable talking about it. Things come out [in the media] about me. When it's out, it's someone else's version of what's the matter with me. I want it to be my version of what it is. My recourse is to do my version.
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
My mother had an amazing life, and she's someone to admire.
Carrie Fisher
