Quotes

add »
Carrie: Star Wars taught me everything: how to shoot a gun. How to have my breasts taped. I had the time of my life - and the time of yours. (edit)
(discussing her thoughts on Harrison Ford while making "Star Wars")
Carrie: I had a crush on Harrison for sure. Harrison is great fun when he's had a few drinks. I'm going to get in so much trouble. Once I left the room and came back and he was in the closet not wearing a lot of clothes ... (edit)
(on her writing)
Carrie: It's very cathartic for me when I can write about whatever's happened. I'm a warhorse; if I have a situation that's bad, I can handle it. But I can handle it best when I joke about it. That's my writing. (edit)
(in a 1983 "Playboy" interview, Carrie was asked if she had earned more money on "Star Wars" than her parents throughout their careers)
Carrie: I think Andy Warhol started that rumor. People like it. It sounds good. I'd like it if I weren't me. I could call and get an accountant and figure it out. My mother made 53 films and did night-club work. They didn't get paid as much as we do now; but, no, it's not true. I've been working for only eight years. (edit)
(on what a future book might cover)
Carrie: When I was in Star Wars, I kept diaries. Big books full of what went on, what I thought, what I did. I am going to write them all up as a narrative. (edit)
