More quotes by Carrie Fisher
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Carrie Fisher
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.
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 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 like performing. I like partnering with an audience.
Carrie Fisher
My favorite one to see is the metal bikini on men.
Carrie Fisher
I used to want to gamble, too, until I was 20 and could actually go to a casino. Then I wasn't so crazy about the attitude.
Carrie Fisher
I like having written better than I like having acted.
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 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
Here's what I've learned: that someone can change the course of history with a box cutter.
Carrie Fisher
Females get hired along procreative lines. After 40, we're kind of cooked.
Carrie Fisher
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.
Carrie Fisher
I found out when I did the Oprah Winfrey show that there was a cookie jar of me. So she gave it to me. I had no idea prior to that that it even existed.
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
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
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.
Carrie Fisher
I had to shoot shotguns for The Blues Brothers. But I don't like that stuff. Too butch for me.
Carrie Fisher
My mother had an amazing life, and she's someone to admire.
Carrie Fisher
I have the ability, occasionally, of being able to step out and see who you think I could end up being. And I like to play with that.
Carrie Fisher
