Nobody wants to read about a good-looking happy person.

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
Image
I enjoy taking jobs that make fun of me - or me as Princess Leia, or me as the writer, or whatever, as some idea.

I've got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. Chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what I need. Less emotional feedback, less warmth, less approval, less patience and less response. The less the merrier. Chairs it is. I must furnish my heart with feelings for furniture.

People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit. Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn't know was George.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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
Image
I always think of Meryl [Streep] for everything now. There really aren't many actresses around who are truly lucid the way she is.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I'm in denial in its lesser state. It will take me a second. People around me will notice my mania first. And, my depression.

You're not famous until you're a Pez dispenser.
Carrie Fisher
Image
Eventually, life of the party is just like any other job. I've thought of myself that way at times, but it's sort of like holding everybody hostage. It diminishes everyone else. And ultimately, your friends don't require it of you.
Carrie Fisher
Image
No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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

I don't want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I'm not interested in doing that anymore.
