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

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.

Actors may know how to act, but a lot of them don't know how to behave.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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.

Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.

I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.

[I was filmed] against a blue screen [in the Star Wars]. All the rest came later, in Lucasland. They did have me take gun lessons, though. I went to the same guys who taught Robert De Niro for Taxi Driver.

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.

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.

Guys are great before you know who they are,' said Lucy. 'They're great when you're still with who they might be.

I have a second dog, too, mainly for security.

I feel so agitated all the time, like a hamster in search of a wheel.
