More quotes by 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
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
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
It creates community when you talk about private things and you can find other people that have the same things.
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
Life is a cruel, horrible joke and I am the punch line.
Carrie Fisher
I don't like my face. I don't like to look at it.
Carrie Fisher
I think that the truth is a really stern taskmistress.
Carrie Fisher
And when you're young you want to fit in. Hell, I still want to fit in with certain humans, but as you get older you get a little more discriminating.
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
Then I overdosed at 28, at which point I began to accept the bipolar diagnosis.
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
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
I don't do acid anymore, so I travel instead.
Carrie Fisher
Come to think of [a handsome young carpenter], Harrison Ford used to be a carpenter.
Carrie Fisher
I always think of Meryl [Streep] for everything now. There really aren't many actresses around who are truly lucid the way she is.
Carrie Fisher
Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.
Carrie Fisher
I went to a doctor and told him I felt normal on acid, that I was a light bulb in a world of moths. That is what the manic state is like.
Carrie Fisher
I always felt the Jewish part more. In fact, growing up I felt like a Jew among WASPs. My brother is more decidedly Waspy.
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.
