More quotes by Carrie Fisher
I quote fictional characters, because I'm a fictional character myself!
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
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
And when you're young you want to fit in. Hell, I still want to fit in with certain humans, but as you get older you get a little more discriminating.
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.
Carrie Fisher
I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.
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
It creates community when you talk about private things and you can find other people that have the same things.
Carrie Fisher
[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.
Carrie Fisher
I spent a year in a 12-step program, really committed, because I could not believe what had happened - that I might have killed myself.
Carrie Fisher
I don't do acid anymore, so I travel instead.
Carrie Fisher
What worries me is, what if this guy is really the one for me and I just haven't had enough therapy yet for me to be comfortable with having found him.
Carrie Fisher
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
I went to a doctor and told him I felt normal on acid, that I was a light bulb in a world of moths. That is what the manic state is like.
Carrie Fisher
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
The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him, because we wanted to see what his face looked like when it changed expression--and he fooled us even then. He got Industrial Light and Magic to change his facial expressions for him and THX sound to make the noise of a face-changing expression.
Carrie Fisher
Anything you can do in excess for the wrong reasons is exciting to me.
Carrie Fisher
I've never met a deadline I couldn't miss. I make sure my editors know this.
Carrie Fisher
Of course I miss [drugs]. And anyone who tells you they don't is lying.
Carrie Fisher
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.
