7 Quotes From Carrie Fisher That Will Make Your Day
E!

It is always sad to see talented actors and actresses pass away, and that is especially true with the recent passing of sensational talent, Carrie Fisher. Daughter of the Hollywood movie star, Debbie Reynolds, Carrie Fisher’s talents seemed unlimited. She was an actress—her most famous role being Princess Leia in the hit sci-fi franchise, Star Wars—a singer, a writer—her published books included Wishful Drinking (2008), Postcards from the Edge (1987), Surrender the Pink (1990), Delusions of Grandma (1993) and The Princess Diarist (2016)—and a mental health advocate.

However, her talents also included comedy. Carrie Fisher was witty beyond belief. Here are 7 hilarious quotes from Carrie Fisher to brighten your day:

1. On her problems with pills, Carrie said… “One of the side effects of Percodan is feelings of euphoria, and I always felt that was a side effect I could deal with.”

2. On a higher power, she said… “You know how they say that religion is the opiate of the masses? Well, I took masses of opiates religiously.”

3. On her struggles with mental illness and bipolar disorder, she said… “I thought I would inaugurate a Bipolar Pride Day. You know, with floats and parades and stuff! On the floats, we would get the depressives, and they wouldn’t even have to leave their beds -- we’d just roll their beds out of their houses, and they could continue staring off miserably into space. And then for the manics, we’d have the manic marching band, with manics laughing and talking and shopping and fucking and making bad judgment calls.”

4. On her struggles with her mom, she said… “Not that it matters, but my mother is not a lesbian! She's just a really, really bad heterosexual.”

5. On Princess Leia's iconic white dress in Star Wars, she said… “George comes up to me the first day of filming and he takes a look at the dress and says, 'You can't wear a bra under that dress.' So, I say, 'OK, I'll bite. Why?' And he says, 'Because ... there's no underwear in space. I promise you this is true, and he says it with such conviction too! Like he had been to space and looked around and he didn't see any bras or panties or briefs anywhere.'”

6. On her recently revealed past affair with Harrison Ford, she said… "It was so intense. It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend."

7. On how she wanted to be remembered and the one request she had for her obituary, she said… “I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight, strangled by my own bra.”

Carrie Fisher was a treasure, and I hope her talent and wit will be remembered for generations.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
