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
If talking were aerobic, I'd be the thinnest person in the world.
Carrie Fisher
No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.
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
Look,' he said, 'I don't think we should continue this discussion. I don't like this side of you.' 'I'm not a box,' she said 'I don't have sides. This is it. One side fits all. This is it.
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
The parrots are great. They do something I refer to as the Phone Call from Venus. They repeat all my phone conversations. It can very annoying - like having a lot of children in the house screaming.
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!
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
My favorite films are ones that have my lines in it, and I like those lines. And I like to hear them.
