I watched my parents' fame diminish - as I was getting more conscious, their celebrity was going back down the mountain. - Carrie Fischer
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. - Carrie Fischer
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. - Carrie Fischer

One of the great things to pretend is that you're not only alright, you're in great shape. Now to have that come true - I've actually gone on stage depressed and that's worked its magic on me, 'cause if I can convince you that I'm alright, then maybe I can convince me. - Carrie Fischer
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. - Carrie Fischer
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. - Carrie Fischer
