Carrie Fisher usually kicks off her one-woman show- Wishful Drinking with a delightful story about finding a dead guy in her bed. Then she asks the audience if they have any questions. Among some of the queries she's been asked: "How did you know he was dead?" "Have you ever seen a dead body?" she'll answer. "They're blue & yellow… which are the international colors of death… & they're really bad conversationalists." Little is off limits: She discusses the scandal of her superstar parents, Debbie Reynolds & Eddie Fisher, when he ran off with Elizabeth Taylor; her brief marriage to singer Paul Simon; the act that the father of her daughter left her for a man; & the day she woke up next to the dead body of a platonic friend who had overdosed in her bed.
" I do believe you're only as sick as your secrets. If that's true, I'm just really healthy."
Actor, novelist, screenwriter, playwright & creator of the best quips:
"I do believe you're only as sick as your secrets. If that's true, I'm just really healthy."
"I don't have a problem with drugs so much as I have a problem with sobriety."
“As you get older, the pickings get slimmer, but the people don't.”
“Drugs made me feel more normal.”
“ I think of my body as a side effect of my mind.”
“I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.”
Her tweet yesterday on Twitter: “If you don't like me please suck my big bovine tiny dancer cock”.
Trivia: She lives in a house that was once the carriage house of the master house of Errol Flynn. She collects 19th century paintings of cows.
