More quotes by Carrie Fisher
I like having written better than I like having acted.
Carrie Fisher
Sometimes you can only find Heaven by slowly backing away from Hell.
Carrie Fisher
I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.
Carrie Fisher
My favorite one to see is the metal bikini on men.
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
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Carrie Fisher
I quote fictional characters, because I'm a fictional character myself!
Carrie Fisher
I enjoy taking jobs that make fun of me - or me as Princess Leia, or me as the writer, or whatever, as some idea.
Carrie Fisher
I envy people who have the capacity to sit with another human being and find them endlessly interesting, I would rather watch TV. Of course this becomes eventually known to the other person.
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
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
Carrie Fisher
I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I'm still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you.
Carrie Fisher
I get lots of awards for being mentally ill. Apparently, I am better at being mentally ill than almost anything else I've ever done. Seriously - I have a shelf of awards for being bipolar.
Carrie Fisher
I've got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. Chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what I need. Less emotional feedback, less warmth, less approval, less patience and less response. The less the merrier. Chairs it is. I must furnish my heart with feelings for furniture.
Carrie Fisher
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?
Carrie Fisher
I like the community of acting better than the prison of writing. I like sets.
Carrie Fisher
The older you get, the easier it is to spot the phonies. And I just think, how unpleasant for them.
Carrie Fisher
I guess I do carry a bit of male energy. It's like what I always say - two yangs don't make a right.
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
Actually,I am a failed anorexic. I have anorexic thinking, but I can't seem to muster the behavoir
