Carrie Fisher
I have a second dog, too, mainly for security.
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'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
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
My favorite one to see is the metal bikini on men.
Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher
I just admire my mother very much.
Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher
A lot of people have told me, you know, that what I've written about, they identify with strongly.
Carrie Fisher
I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.
Carrie Fisher
Of course I miss [drugs]. And anyone who tells you they don't is lying.
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
Nobody wants to read about a good-looking happy person.
Carrie Fisher
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Carrie Fisher
Until adolescence I thought I had the best mother in the world. Such a graceful mother. I had this fantasy that I was the wrong daughter.
Carrie Fisher
