More quotes by Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher
For Star Wars, they had me tape down my breasts because there are no breasts in space. I have some. I have two.
Carrie Fisher

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
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
