1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,359
Speaker 1: S help me, o'bi one canobi. You're my only hope.

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,280
Speaker 1: I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board.

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: Good morning, Carrie Fisher, good running.

4
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 3: Oh, good morning. I'm so excited about seeing your show.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 3: I just can't wait. So welcome in advance to Australia.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, it's good to be here in advance.

7
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 3: Your show, Wishful Drinking. Would you call it an autobiography

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 3: that you haven't quite got around to writing down.

9
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: Oh no, I've written it down. It's yet. I would

10
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: call it like anecdotal memoir.

11
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: A lot of people might not know this about you, Carrie,

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 2: but you are a writer. I remember reading you were

13
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: writing speeches for something different in the Academy Awards.

14
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I've written the Academy Awards three years and I

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: probably will do it this year because my friend's producing it.

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: It used to be a good job, because they used

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: to give you pay you in those baskets where they

18
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: have all sorts of cool things in the basket. Yeah,

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: but there's no more baskets.

20
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: How come?

21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: I think it was? Edward Norton complained that it was

22
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: something like why give rich people, uh more rich things

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: or something these are high class problems.

24
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 3: I bet he wants an iPod as much as anyone.

25
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: Oh, it was like they would give you. They'd give

26
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: you mattresses and watches and stuff. And for those of

27
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: us that were writing it, we deserved it.

28
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: Of course she did. Of course I'd like to ask

29
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: you why you haven't gone completely bonkers. That's what I

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 3: admire about you. But you're staying because you're You're the product,

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: I guess, in a way of the world's most famous divorce.

32
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: You've survived the incredible fame of Star Wars, and you've

33
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: come out the other side as a writer and a comedian.

34
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 3: How come you? How have you managed to mutate into

35
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 3: interesting things?

36
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: Mutate being the proper word. I you know, I think

37
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: I watched my mother get through a bunch of stuff.

38
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean, what are the choices? I think? But you know,

39
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: the point isn't just to sort of survive. It's to

40
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 1: have fun. I mean, for me, I look at it

41
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: as soon as I possibly can, uh it with humor,

42
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, because if it's if my life wasn't funny,

43
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: it would just be true, and that's frequently unacceptable. So I, I,

44
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, take things that aren't funny at the time,

45
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: and eventually they're funny.

46
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: I enjoyed one of your recent entries in the Twitter

47
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 3: verse that you know, there's a whole lot of young

48
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: guys who are discovering you through Star Wars, and I

49
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 3: think that you're still going to be a twenty year

50
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: old girl, and they're shocked to discover, like all of us,

51
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 3: you're mad. You know that you're a middle aged woman,

52
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 3: and you fought back. Tell me how you fought back.

53
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: I loved what you said.

54
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: I said that I didn't realize that when I donned

55
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: the metal bikini back when I was twenty three, that

56
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: I had made an invisible contract to stay looking the

57
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: exact same way from the next thirty to forty years.

58
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: So obviously I've betrayed the contract. I've had a child,

59
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: I've taken pounds of medication to stay sane for the child,

60
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: and sanity comes at a heavy price.

61
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 2: You know, Cary, you were married to Paul Simon for

62
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 2: eleven months, but he managed to no way. He managed

63
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: to write nine songs about you that was quite anymore.

64
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Were we were, We could say we were engaged or not,

65
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: or we dated for I don't know, like nine years

66
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: before that.

67
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: What's it like having someone write a song about you

68
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 3: with the all nights?

69
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: No, not at all. There's one called allergies, which is

70
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: my heart is allergic to the woman I love and

71
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: it's changing the shape of my face. Is that nice? Not? Really? No,

72
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: I don't think so.

73
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 2: Is there any other ones?

74
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, there's a bunch of good ones. Hearts and Bones,

75
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 1: one and one half wandering Jews. I'm the half Jew

76
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: and Graceland. Uh the lyric of I can never something

77
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: of let's see, was it something about waking up with oh,

78
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: I can't remember? I you know, I had just had

79
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: electric convulsive therapy and my memory shot to hell?

80
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 3: What'd you have that? Full?

81
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh?

82
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: Fun, just for fun, just for the singing.

83
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: For diversion, you know why. Now I've been to Disneyland,

84
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: Disney World. You know, I've been traveled a lot of places,

85
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: and one of the things I hadn't done was ett

86
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 1: So I just said, why not?

87
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 2: Did it drive you crazy? With the Star Wars And

88
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: let's just put this delicately, freaks come up and harass

89
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 2: you with the Star Wars trivia? Does that drive you crazy?

90
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: No? Nothing drives me crazy. Sometimes if I'm in like

91
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: a airport, someone will shout out hey, Princess Lamb like

92
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to turn around and say yes and get

93
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: confused for a moment.

94
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,480
Speaker 2: That would be But what do you do because they're

95
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: yelling at so clearly you know they're talking to you.

96
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: Do you turn around or do you just ignore it?

97
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: What do you do?

98
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: It depends on the airport. Oh, you know, I generally

99
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: don't really respond. If it's a child, I'll respond. What

100
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: if it's a so called adult? No, probably you don't

101
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: want to encourage that.

102
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: And they're dressed like Boba Fette. Yeah, I could see that.

103
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 1: Well, that would be fair.

104
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: That's when you're right for the hills. Well, Carrie Fisher,

105

00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,880

00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:47,839
