Writing is a very calming thing for me.
It really annoys me that I'm vain, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to discard that tendency.
I watched my parents' fame diminish - as I was getting more conscious, their celebrity was going back down the mountain.
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.
I have been Princess Leia exclusively. It's been a part of my life for 40 years.
I don't like looking at myself. I have such bad body dysmorphia.
Along with aging comes life experience, so in every way that is consistent with even being human, Leia has changed.
I started out doing my mother's nightclub act, and I had stage fright.
I am truly a product of Hollywood in-breeding. When two celebrities mate, someone like me is the result.
Acting engenders and harbours qualities that are best left way behind in adolescence.
The manic end of is a lot of fun.
If anything, my mother taught me how to sur-thrive. That's my word for it.
We treat beauty like an accomplishment, and that is insane. Everyone in L.A. says, 'Oh, you look good,' and you listen for them to say you've lost weight. It's never 'How are you?' or 'You seem happy!'
Will somebody get this giant walking carpet out of my way?
