Quote

[I was filmed] against a blue screen [in the Star Wars]. All the rest came later, in Lucasland. They did have me take gun lessons, though. I went to the same guys who taught Robert De Niro for Taxi Driver.

Image
I got the part [in the Shampoo]. But it was this very unpleasantly rivalry tug.
Carrie Fisher
Image
This actress named Lisa Eilbacher. I was up for the part in Shampoo and friends of mine kept telling me she was going around saying all these bad things about me. It's like we're still in the sixth grade sometimes.

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
Image
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
Image
The message about sex and relationships that she had gotten as a child... was confused, contradictory. Sex was for men, and marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.

You're not famous until you're a Pez dispenser.

I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.

Generally someone will eventually tell you that you have to do something to help yourself.

Image
I just admire my mother very much.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
Guys are great before you know who they are,' said Lucy. 'They're great when you're still with who they might be.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I guess I do carry a bit of male energy. It's like what I always say - two yangs don't make a right.
Carrie Fisher
Image
If talking were aerobic, I'd be the thinnest person in the world.
Carrie Fisher
Image
I've never met a deadline I couldn't miss. I make sure my editors know this.
Carrie Fisher
Image
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
Carrie Fisher
Image
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
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 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
Image
I'm fine, but I'm bipolar. I'm on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I'm never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It's like being a diabetic.
