I have been Princess Leia exclusively. It's been a part of my life for 40 years.

If my life wasn't funny, it would just be true, and that's unacceptable.

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.

So when I was 24, someone suggested to me that I was bipolar, and I thought that was ridiculous. I just thought he was trying to get out of treating me. But he was also responding to the chaotic nature of my life.

I've totally embraced it. I like Princess Leia. I like how she was feisty.

I don’t want life to imitate art. I want life to be art.
