I had to shoot shotguns for The Blues Brothers. But I don't like that stuff. Too butch for me.

I feel so agitated all the time, like a hamster in search of a wheel.

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?

My life is like a lone, forgotten Q-Tip in the second-to-last drawer.

As a matter of fact [my mother] is very happily married. To a very nice southern gentleman named Roanoke - her first non-Jewish husband, as she likes to say.

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.

You know how they say that religion is the opiate of the masses? Well I took masses of opiates religiously.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I don't want to be caught ... ashamed of anything. And because generally someone who has bipolar doesn't have just bipolar, they have bipolar, and they have a life and a job and a kid and a hat and parents, so its not your overriding identity, it's just something that you have, but not the only thing - even if it's quite a big thing.

I guess I could Debra Winger in any number of things. She's so luminous - it's a birth defect.

Until adolescence I thought I had the best mother in the world. Such a graceful mother. I had this fantasy that I was the wrong daughter.

I don't want to be a victim.

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.

My fear is that I will be crushed in an elevator and my mother will get hold of my journals from my adolescence.
