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

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.

A story a friend told me about being in New York and meeting this Latin-lover kind of guy. They went up to her hotel room, and the guy kind of pounced on her and told her to spread her legs, shouting, Surrender the pink! Surrender the pink! That's where it's from.

Eventually, life of the party is just like any other job. I've thought of myself that way at times, but it's sort of like holding everybody hostage. It diminishes everyone else. And ultimately, your friends don't require it of you.
Carrie Fisher
Image
No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I got the part [in the Shampoo]. But it was this very unpleasantly rivalry tug.
Carrie Fisher

I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.

My mother is an immensely powerful woman.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I can't say that period talk is my favorite bonding arena. But I also think it's sort of funny.
Carrie Fisher
Image
My mother had an amazing life, and she's someone to admire.
Carrie Fisher
Image
Of course I miss [drugs]. And anyone who tells you they don't is lying.
Carrie Fisher
Image
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.

I don't do acid anymore, so I travel instead.

I don't want to be a victim.
