More quotes by 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
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
I guess, as they say, I never acquired a taste for [caviar].
Carrie Fisher
I don't think 50-50 relationships exist. Men have an incredibly variety of options. It's much harder for a woman to do both things. I think traditional relationships work best.
Carrie Fisher
My mom is a little bit eccentric. I mean, she does - she has a lot of unique ideas. For example, she thought that I should have a child with her last husband, Richard, because it would have nice eyes.
Carrie Fisher
I like that - the you-ish character.
Carrie Fisher
In the Fifties, my parents were known as 'America's sweethearts'. Their pictures graced the covers of all the newspapers. They were the Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston of their day.
Carrie Fisher
I have a girlfriend who talks like that all the time. Who constantly complain about their periods and plumbing and stuff.
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
Sometimes you can only find Heaven by slowly backing away from Hell.
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
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.
Carrie Fisher
I'm fond of kissing. It's part of my job. God sent me down to kiss a lot of people.
Carrie Fisher
I rarely think about my childhood. It's a slippery thing I can't keep hold of for long - it slithers out of my grasp. And a lot of the time I remember what was missing instead of what was there. I am a chronicler of absence.
Carrie Fisher
I got the part [in the Shampoo]. But it was this very unpleasantly rivalry tug.
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
A lot of people have told me, you know, that what I've written about, they identify with strongly.
Carrie Fisher
Females get hired along procreative lines. After 40, we're kind of cooked.
Carrie Fisher
Sex was for men. Marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.
Carrie Fisher
I just admire my mother very much.
