Quote

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.

I guess, as they say, I never acquired a taste for [caviar].
Carrie Fisher
Image
I just admire my mother very much.
Carrie Fisher
Image
My mother is an immensely powerful woman.
Carrie Fisher
Image
My mother is an extraordinary woman, extraordinary.
Carrie Fisher
Image
A lot of people have told me, you know, that what I've written about, they identify with strongly.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I grew up knowing that I had the prettiest mother of anyone in my class.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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
Image
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
Image
My mom is a little bit eccentric. I mean, she does - she has a lot of unique ideas. For example, she thought that I should have a child with her last husband, Richard, because it would have nice eyes.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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
Image
Of course I miss [drugs]. And anyone who tells you they don't is lying.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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
Image
I like birds and dogs. I'm allergic to cats.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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
Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.
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
Tom Hanks was really great [the 'Burbs']. The director, Joe Dante, was wonderful. We filmed it here during the summer, every day at Universal. Even the food was good - I mean it was junk but it was really good. The whole thing was like some ideal summer-school experience. It may not have been the best movie ever, but it was certainly the most fun.
Carrie Fisher
Image
[When Harry Met Sally] was fine, but it was a job. And I did it right after The 'Burbs.

As we all know, there is no underwear in space.

My fear is that I will be crushed in an elevator and my mother will get hold of my journals from my adolescence.
