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.

More quotes by Carrie Fisher
Anything you can do in excess for the wrong reasons is exciting to me.
Carrie Fisher
A lot of people have told me, you know, that what I've written about, they identify with strongly.
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
Here's how men think. Sex, work - and those are reversible, depending on age - sex, work, food, sports and lastly, begrudgingly, relationships. And here's how women think. Relationships, relationships, relationships, work, sex, shopping, weight, food.
Carrie Fisher
I'm fine, but I'm bipolar. I'm on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I'm never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It's like being a diabetic.
Carrie Fisher
Now it's dedicated to my grandparents and to both of my parents. The first book was dedicated to my mother so I thought maybe it was my father's turn, but then I realized that everyone would jump on that and assume I'd had some falling out with my mother, which is absolutely not the case.
Carrie Fisher
[When Harry Met Sally] was fine, but it was a job. And I did it right after The 'Burbs.
Carrie Fisher
You're only as sick as your secrets. Either it comes out their way or my way. I talk about myself behind my back. And I'm funny about it.
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
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
I was born imagining myself with an apron on, with pies cooling on the window sill and babies crying upstairs. I thought that all that stuff would somehow anchor me to the planet, that it was the weight I needed to keep from just flying off into space.
Carrie Fisher
There are two things that I know for certain guys are good for: pushing swings and killing insects.
Carrie Fisher
My extroversion is a way of managing my introversion.
Carrie Fisher
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.
Carrie Fisher
Finding the cutest guy in A.A. is like finding the cutest loony in the bin.
Carrie Fisher
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Carrie Fisher
I like the community of acting better than the prison of writing. I like sets.
Carrie Fisher
I wanted to be, you know, just no different than anybody else.
Carrie Fisher
I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.
Carrie Fisher
Still, the word boyfriend starts to sound pathetic after age 30.
Carrie Fisher
