When it comes to remembering Carrie Fisher, a lot of people remember her quite differently. Diversity and talent, neatly sown into a kick-ass package, Carrie Fisher has been a woman to remember. Recently, the Princess-Actress-Writer-and-Script_Doctor Fisher said goodbye to the land of the living and went on to pursue her solo adventures across the stars.
Hence, here’s to remembering Carrie Fisher by taking a look at some of the most inspiring things she said during her 60 years during her stay here on the planet we call home:
- “Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.”
- “Acting engenders and harbors qualities that are best left way behind in adolescence.”
- “I’ve got to stop getting obsessed with human beings and fall in love with a chair. Chairs have everything human beings have to offer, and less, which is obviously what I need. Less emotional feedback, less warmth, less approval, less patience, and less response. The less the merrier. Chairs it is. I must furnish my heart with feelings for furniture.”
- “There is no point at which you can say, ‘Well, I’m successful now. I might as well take a nap.’”
- “You know what’s funny about death? I mean other than absolutely nothing at all? You’d think we could remember finding out we weren’t immortal. Sometimes I see children sobbing at airports and I think, ‘Aww. They’ve just been told.’”
- “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.”
- “I envy people who have the capacity to sit with another human being and find them endlessly interesting, I would rather watch TV. Of course this becomes eventually known to the other person.”
- “It’s a man’s world and show business is a man’s meal, with women generously sprinkled through it like overqualified spice.”
- “The only thing worse than being hurt is everyone knowing that you’re hurt.”
- “I quote fictional characters, because I’m a fictional character myself!”
