More quotes by Carrie Fisher
My life is like a lone, forgotten Q-Tip in the second-to-last drawer.
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
My father was a joyous, joyous spirit, he really was. He was a hedonist, that was just - he enjoyed life, thrust up to the elbows with it. He was a terrible father. I don't know that he was parented that well.
Carrie Fisher
Generally someone will eventually tell you that you have to do something to help yourself.
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 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
Sometimes you can only find Heaven by slowly backing away from Hell.
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.
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
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
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 grew up knowing that I had the prettiest mother of anyone in my class.
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 feel so agitated all the time, like a hamster in search of a wheel.
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
Females get hired along procreative lines. After 40, we're kind of cooked.
Carrie Fisher
You're only as sick as your secrets. Either it comes out their way or my way. I talk about myself behind my back. And I'm funny about it.
Carrie Fisher
Still, the word boyfriend starts to sound pathetic after age 30.
Carrie Fisher
My favorite films are ones that have my lines in it, and I like those lines. And I like to hear them.
Carrie Fisher
Good anecdote--bad reality.
