Carrie Fisher Quote: “That’s the way it works in movies. Something happens that has an impact on someone’s life, and based on that impact, his life shifts course.

They just don’t have any effect.”

Carrie Fisher Quote: “I got real acting experience, which I’d never had partly because I still wasn’t so sure that I wanted to be an actress. But maybe it was something I could do without a high school diploma or accredited skills of any kind whatsoever – a job that would pay me enough of a wage to let me go out into the world and start what I would laughingly come to call my own actual life.”
Carrie Fisher Quote: “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 Quote: “My mom had the breakdown for the family, and I went into therapy for all of us.”

Carrie Fisher Quote: “My want can only do so much in terms of changing what’s actually occuring with other people, and I’d like to keep it that way. I don’t want to feel that if I had wanted something more, or had said one other thing, or had worn a different dress, or had been more mysterious, or more open, then I would get something or someone I wouldn’t get otherwise.”
Carrie Fisher Quote: “Mom brought me some peanut butter cookies and a biography of Judy Garland. She told me she thought my problem was that I was too impatient, my fuse was too short, that I was only interested in instant gratification. I said, “Instant gratification takes too long.” The glib martyr.”

Carrie Fisher Quote: “I have filled him in to be unobtainable, disinterested, attractive and bored with my company. My ideal mate. Someone to endure, never to enjoy. I am totally at his mercy. I suffer through the silence, imagining that he is suffering my company. That I am merely an alternative for nothing better to do. I’m frightened of the power I have given him over me and of how he will almost certainly abuse it, merely by not being fully aware he has it.”

Carrie Fisher Quote: “Because what can you do with people that like you, except, of course, inevitably disappoint them?”
Carrie Fisher Quote: “There are a couple of reasons why I take comfort in being able to put all this in my own vernacular and present it to you. For one thing, because then I’m not completely alone with it. And for another, it gives me a sense of being in control of the craziness. Now this is a delusion, but it’s MY delusion and I’m sticking with it. It’s sort of like: I have problems but problems don’t have me.”

Carrie Fisher Quote: “Movies were meant to stay on the screen, flat and large and colorful, gathering you up into their sweep of story, carrying you rollicking along to the end, then releasing you back into your unchanged life.

Carrie Fisher Quote: “But I think if you have the expectation that you’re going to be happy throughout your life – more to the point, if you have a need to be comfortable all the time – well, among other things, you have the makings of a classic drug addict or alcoholic.”
