“I think that the truth is a really stern taskmistress.” — Carrie Fisher

I was street smart, but unfortunately the street was Rodeo Drive.

Drugs made me feel more normal.

I don't want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I'm not interested in doing that anymore.

I spent a year in a 12-step program, really committed, because I could not believe what had happened - that I might have killed myself.
