I was born into big celebrity. It could only diminish.
From Carrie Fisher
Acting engenders and harbours qualities that are best left way behind in adolescence.
He's a very strange guy, my father. I can't get mad at him because he's so adorable.
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
I started out doing my mother's nightclub act, and I had stage fright.
I like performing. I like partnering with an audience.
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.
I knew what show business was, which was why I didn't want in on that action. I saw what happens! You get it, and then you lose it.
