What are the important rules you live by?
Be kind. Don’t hurt
other people. It’s all the sort of Christian ethics stuff I thought was
bullshit when I was a kid. No, it turns out it’s not bullshit. Tell the truth, be kind, all that corny stuff.
Part of Debbie Reynolds’ acceptance speech for her Screen Actors Guild Life Achievement Award
“You know, by birthright I’m eccentric. My only role models were people who knew how to get attention. I have a really manic energy, so I talk it out. I take party hostages or evenings hostage, and one of the ways of getting the attention you need is to learn how to talk to entertain.”
–Carrie Fisher, 1994Photos by Ron Galella, 1983
My daughter, she tells me when she grows up she wants to be a singer or a comic. I said ‘Well, baby, if you wanna be a comic, you gotta be a writer. But don’t worry, you’ve got tons of material: Your mother is a manic depressive, drug addict. Your father’s gay. Your grandmother tap dances and your grandfather eats hearing aids.’ And my daughter laughs and laughs and laughs and I said ‘Baby, the fact that you know that’s funny is gonna save your whole life.’

Some words of wisdom from Carrie Fisher
- “Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. ”
- “If my life wasn’t funny it would just be true, and that is unacceptable.”
- “Sometimes you can only find Heaven by slowly backing away from Hell.”
- “I feel I’m very sane about how crazy I am.”
- “And when you’re young you want to fit in. Hell, I still want to fit in with certain humans, but as you get older you get a little more discriminating.”
- “In my opinion, a problem derails your life and an inconvenience is not being able to get a nice seat on the un-derailed train.”
- “You know the bad thing about being a survivor… You keep having to get into difficult situations in order to show off your gift.”
- “There is no point at which you can say, ‘Well, I’m successful now. I might as well take a nap.”
- “No motive is pure. No one is good or bad-but a hearty mix of both. And sometimes life actually gives to you by taking away.”
