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.

More quotes by Carrie Fisher
I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.
Carrie Fisher
It creates community when you talk about private things and you can find other people that have the same things. Otherwise, I don't know, I felt very lonely with some of the issues that I had or history that I had. And when I shared about it, I found that others had it, too.
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
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
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
A story a friend told me about being in New York and meeting this Latin-lover kind of guy. They went up to her hotel room, and the guy kind of pounced on her and told her to spread her legs, shouting, Surrender the pink! Surrender the pink! That's where it's from.
Carrie Fisher
Come to think of [a handsome young carpenter], Harrison Ford used to be a carpenter.
Carrie Fisher
Actually,I am a failed anorexic. I have anorexic thinking, but I can't seem to muster the behavoir
Carrie Fisher
Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.
Carrie Fisher
Of course I miss [drugs]. And anyone who tells you they don't is lying.
Carrie Fisher
I have a girlfriend who talks like that all the time. Who constantly complain about their periods and plumbing and stuff.
Carrie Fisher
I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I'm still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you.
Carrie Fisher
I'm fine, but I'm bipolar. I'm on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I'm never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It's like being a diabetic.
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
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
I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.
Carrie Fisher
My fear is that I will be crushed in an elevator and my mother will get hold of my journals from my adolescence.
Carrie Fisher
Sometimes you can only find Heaven by slowly backing away from Hell.
Carrie Fisher
I've never met a deadline I couldn't miss. I make sure my editors know this.
Carrie Fisher
