More quotes by Carrie Fisher
The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him, because we wanted to see what his face looked like when it changed expression--and he fooled us even then. He got Industrial Light and Magic to change his facial expressions for him and THX sound to make the noise of a face-changing expression.
Carrie Fisher
You know the bad thing about being a survivor... You keep having to get into difficult situations in order to show off your gift.
Carrie Fisher
A story a friend told me about being in New York and meeting this Latin-lover kind of guy. They went up to her hotel room, and the guy kind of pounced on her and told her to spread her legs, shouting, Surrender the pink! Surrender the pink! That's where it's from.
Carrie Fisher
My fear is that I will be crushed in an elevator and my mother will get hold of my journals from my adolescence.
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.
Carrie Fisher
This actress named Lisa Eilbacher. I was up for the part in Shampoo and friends of mine kept telling me she was going around saying all these bad things about me. It's like we're still in the sixth grade sometimes.
Carrie Fisher
I think that the truth is a really stern taskmistress.
Carrie Fisher
The message about sex and relationships that she had gotten as a child... was confused, contradictory. Sex was for men, and marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.
Carrie Fisher
There are two things that I know for certain guys are good for: pushing swings and killing insects.
Carrie Fisher
I've never met a deadline I couldn't miss. I make sure my editors know this.
Carrie Fisher
I mean, that's at least in part why I ingested chemical waste - it was a kind of desire to abbreviate myself. To present the CliffNotes of the emotional me, as opposed to the twelve-column read.
Carrie Fisher
I went to drama college in England - the Central School of Speech and Drama, in London. I was there for not quite two years, then I got Star Wars.
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'll never be known for my work with boundaries.
Carrie Fisher
I can't say that period talk is my favorite bonding arena. But I also think it's sort of funny.
Carrie Fisher
I shot through my twenties like a luminous thread through a dark needle, blazing toward my destination: Nowhere.
Carrie Fisher
No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.
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
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
Carrie Fisher
Tom Hanks was really great [the 'Burbs']. The director, Joe Dante, was wonderful. We filmed it here during the summer, every day at Universal. Even the food was good - I mean it was junk but it was really good. The whole thing was like some ideal summer-school experience. It may not have been the best movie ever, but it was certainly the most fun.
