“She’s better than the mother I deserve.” — Carrie Fisher

“I would say I have the mother who’s perfect for me. She’s eccentric—oh, is she eccentric! And life has happened to her in a big way. I love her sense of humor; her work ethic; her being a real mother, a good mother—caring, loyal, and principled. She’s also a really good friend.” — Carrie Fisher
