Zitat des Tages von Carrie Fisher:
I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.
There's a line I have that our family was designed more for public than for private. But there are definitely some things that are only mine. I am someone who dreams at night, and you don't know what I'm dreaming.
You get to choose what monsters you want to slay. I'm sorry to say this again, but let's face it - the Force is with you.
I don't want to be a victim.
I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.
Now I say I'm a diarist with an explanation I'll get back to you on. Someday I may try and write in memoir form.
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
The manic end of is a lot of fun.
I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.
I always wrote. I wrote from when I was 12. That was therapeutic for me in those days. I wrote things to get them out of feeling them, and onto paper. So writing in a way saved me, kept me company. I did the traditional thing with falling in love with words, reading books and underlining lines I liked and words I didn't know.
As you get older, the pickings get slimmer, but the people don't.
I'll never be known for my work with boundaries.
I think that the truth is a really stern taskmistress.
I think of my body as a side effect of my mind.
I spent a year in a 12-step program, really committed, because I could not believe what had happened - that I might have killed myself.
I was born on October 21, 1956 in Burbank, California. My father, Eddie Fisher, was a famous singer. My mother, Debbie Reynolds, was a movie star. Her best-known role was in 'Singin' In The Rain.'
Movies are dreams! And they work on you subliminally.
I'm very sane about how crazy I am.
I went to a doctor and told him I felt normal on acid, that I was a light bulb in a world of moths. That is what the manic state is like.
I am a spy in the house of me. I report back from the front lines of the battle that is me. I am somewhat nonplused by the event that is my life.
No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.
It creates community when you talk about private things.
Leia follows me like a vague smell.
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.
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.
Drugs made me feel more normal.
I've seen pictures of myself with makeup on, and I look like those women who look like they're wearing makeup so they can look young, and I don't think that's good. They have all these products now called - wait, what's it called, it's my favorite - youth suppressant, or age go away; they don't work.
People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit. Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn't know was George.
I don't want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I'm not interested in doing that anymore.
My parents had this incredibly vital relationship with an audience, like muscle with blood. This was the main competition I had for my parents' attention: an audience.
Some of my memories will never return. They are lost - along with the crippling feeling of defeat and hopelessness. Not a tremendous price to pay.
You can't find any true closeness in Hollywood, because everybody does the fake closeness so well.
That's why 'Star Wars' is appealing. You watch someone fight the perilous monster.
People want me to say that I'm sick of playing Leia and that it ruined my life. If my life was that easy to ruin, it deserved to be ruined.
Instant gratification takes too long.
I am truly a product of Hollywood in-breeding. When two celebrities mate, someone like me is the result.
