More quotes by 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
There are very few women from my mother's generation who worked like that, who just kept a career going all her life and raised children and had horrible relationships and lost all her money and got it back again.

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
So when I was 24, someone suggested to me that I was bipolar, and I thought that was ridiculous. I just thought he was trying to get out of treating me. But he was also responding to the chaotic nature of my life.
Carrie Fisher
I shot through my twenties like a luminous thread through a dark needle, blazing toward my destination: Nowhere.
Carrie Fisher
I grew up knowing that I had the prettiest mother of anyone in my class.
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
A lot of people have told me, you know, that what I've written about, they identify with strongly.
Carrie Fisher
I was telling some people in my dressing room some of my other stories, my psychotic break, and blah, blah, blah, and no, they kind of look at you and it's just not what they wanted to hear.
Carrie Fisher
I feel so agitated all the time, like a hamster in search of a wheel.
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
In my opinion, a problem derails your life and an inconvenience is not being able to get a nice seat on the un-derailed train.
Carrie Fisher
If talking were aerobic, I'd be the thinnest person in the world.
Carrie Fisher
The parrots are great. They do something I refer to as the Phone Call from Venus. They repeat all my phone conversations. It can very annoying - like having a lot of children in the house screaming.
