More quotes by Carrie Fisher
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.
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
You know how I always seem to be struggling, even when the situation doesn't call for it?
Carrie Fisher
You know the bad thing about being a survivor... You keep having to get into difficult situations in order to show off your gift.
Carrie Fisher
I have the ability, occasionally, of being able to step out and see who you think I could end up being. And I like to play with that.
Carrie Fisher
I guess I do carry a bit of male energy. It's like what I always say - two yangs don't make a right.
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
So when I was 24, someone suggested to me that I was bipolar, and I thought that was ridiculous. I just thought he was trying to get out of treating me. But he was also responding to the chaotic nature of my life.
Carrie Fisher
I feel so agitated all the time, like a hamster in search of a wheel.
Carrie Fisher
I went to drama college in England - the Central School of Speech and Drama, in London. I was there for not quite two years, then I got Star Wars.
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
I can't say that period talk is my favorite bonding arena. But I also think it's sort of funny.
Carrie Fisher
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Carrie Fisher
The older you get, the easier it is to spot the phonies. And I just think, how unpleasant for them.
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
Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.
Carrie Fisher
I found out when I did the Oprah Winfrey show that there was a cookie jar of me. So she gave it to me. I had no idea prior to that that it even existed.
Carrie Fisher
You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well.
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
I went to a doctor and told him I felt normal on acid, that I was a light bulb in a world of moths. That is what the manic state is like.
