More quotes by 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
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Carrie Fisher
You can't really accurately diagnose someone, I think. Or I've been told that.
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
You know how they say that religion is the opiate of the masses? Well I took masses of opiates religiously.
Carrie Fisher
I feel so agitated all the time, like a hamster in search of a wheel.
Carrie Fisher
I get lots of awards for being mentally ill. Apparently, I am better at being mentally ill than almost anything else I've ever done. Seriously - I have a shelf of awards for being bipolar.
Carrie Fisher
I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.
Carrie Fisher
I don't want to be caught ... ashamed of anything. And because generally someone who has bipolar doesn't have just bipolar, they have bipolar, and they have a life and a job and a kid and a hat and parents, so its not your overriding identity, it's just something that you have, but not the only thing - even if it's quite a big thing.
Carrie Fisher
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
I like birds and dogs. I'm allergic to cats.
Carrie Fisher
From here on out, there's just reality. I think that's what maturity is: a stoic response to endless reality. But then, what do I know?
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
Sex was for men. Marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.
Carrie Fisher
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
Carrie Fisher
Females get hired along procreative lines. After 40, we're kind of cooked.
Carrie Fisher
I guess I could Debra Winger in any number of things. She's so luminous - it's a birth defect.
Carrie Fisher
I will usually be in denial about that, too, because I really don't like that. Sometimes I will recognize it and sometimes someone will say, are you okay? And then you think, Oh, maybe I'm not.
Carrie Fisher
I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.
Carrie Fisher
It creates community when you talk about private things and you can find other people that have the same things.
