Carrie Fisher: Leading Lady

“Having waited my entire life to get an award for something, I now get awards all the time for being mentally ill,” she wrote in Wishful Drinking, an autobiographical collage that originated as a one-woman performance, became an HBO special, and was published in book form in 2008. “I’m apparently very good at it.”

On Growing Up : “Sure, from the outside, [my childhood] looked too good to be real—but, if you think about it very briefly, I think you’ll come to the conclusion that PERHAPS IT WAS TOO UNREAL TO BE GOOD.”
