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've got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. Chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what I need. Less emotional feedback, less warmth, less approval, less patience and less response. The less the merrier. Chairs it is. I must furnish my heart with feelings for furniture.

Carrie Fisher
Then I overdosed at 28, at which point I began to accept the bipolar diagnosis.
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
There are very few women from my mother's generation who worked like that, who just kept a career going all her life and raised children and had horrible relationships and lost all her money and got it back again.
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
I guess I could Debra Winger in any number of things. She's so luminous - it's a birth defect.
Carrie Fisher
I had to shoot shotguns for The Blues Brothers. But I don't like that stuff. Too butch for me.
Carrie Fisher

Carrie Fisher
The only one who didn't know was George Lucas. We kept it from him, because we wanted to see what his face looked like when it changed expression--and he fooled us even then. He got Industrial Light and Magic to change his facial expressions for him and THX sound to make the noise of a face-changing expression.
