Carrie Fisher

Instant gratification takes too long.

I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.

I have two moods. One is Roy, rollicking Roy, the wild ride of a mood. And Pam, sediment Pam, who stands on the shore and sobs... Sometimes the tide is in, sometimes it's out.

The thrill of acting is making a character real. Modeling is the opposite of real. It's being fake in front of the camera.

Yes, I want children and I can't wait to have that closeness with someone - to bring someone into the world. But, I really don't know when.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
