Quote

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.

I rarely cry. I save my feelings up inside me like I have something more specific in mind for them. I am waiting for the exact perfect situationand then BOOM! I'll explode in a light show of feeling and emotion - a pinata stuffed with tender nuances and pent-up passions

Having waited my entire life to get an award for something, anything...I now get awards all the time for being mentally ill. It’s better than being bad at being insane, right? How tragic would it be to be runner-up for Bipolar Woman of the Year?

Life is a cruel, horrible joke and I am the punch line.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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.

You know how they say that religion is the opiate of the masses? Well I took masses of opiates religiously.

I quote fictional characters, because I'm a fictional character myself!

I like the community of acting better than the prison of writing. I like sets.
Carrie Fisher

I'm in denial in its lesser state. It will take me a second. People around me will notice my mania first. And, my depression.

I have a girlfriend who talks like that all the time. Who constantly complain about their periods and plumbing and stuff.
