You get to choose what monsters you want to slay. I'm sorry to say this again, but let's face it - the Force is with you.

Now I say I'm a diarist with an explanation I'll get back to you on. Someday I may try and write in memoir form.

I knew what show business was, which was why I didn't want in on that action. I saw what happens! You get it, and then you lose it.

People want me to say that I'm sick of playing Leia and that it ruined my life. If my life was that easy to ruin, it deserved to be ruined.

Mistakes are a drag, because you get in the area of regret and self-pity.

What I've realized recently is that the difference between me and Mickey Mouse is, there's not a man that can go and say, 'Look, can you get me in any faster? I'm Mickey Mouse.' Whereas I can go in and say, 'Look, could you get me a table faster? I'm Princess Leia.'
