    In reply to Carrie Fisher Faces Criticism From Paul Simon, Star Wars Fans
    I wish I could see her off-Bway show.

    I love Carrie Fisher so much. And I heard her being interviewed on NPR the other day.

    Leonard Lopate says, "So I hear there's a picture of you on the cover of an abnormal psychology textbook?"

    And she replies, "No, not on the cover, the photo was inside, in the bipolar section."

    Lopate: "So, I think it was a still from Star Wars, a picture of you in character as Princess Leia?" and she says in an amiable voice, "Yes, that's right, I guess they wanted to show, you know, a selection of bipolars in the galaxy!"

    "Is that flattering?" haha! She's awesome. I love the fact that she's so painfully self-aware, but never apologetic. She is who she is and doesn't care.

    paul simon's biggest fangirl here (ineedtomeetpaulsimon.blogspot.net) personally i think some of the greatest music in history was written about how hard she was to get over. that speaks to what an amazing woman she must be. graceland and hearts and bones are my two favorite songs about her.

    i see her point (although not really because i'll never understand having music about me) since its obvious that its about her and she can't control it but...
    "you take two bodies and you twirl them into one, their hearts and their bones, and they won't come undone"
    c'mon now...

    @BuffyBot: My brother is bipolar, and if what he goes through is any insight to Carrie Fisher, she's been through some serious shit. Imagine your normal sadness or happiness experienced exponentially, and given to change suddenly without warning, until your life is just a struggle to live around the wild uncertainty of your emotions. A lot of them self-medicate with narcotics.

    I imagine it must be very difficult to be married to someone with BD; I love my brother but he's exhausting.

    And all the fanboy digs about her weight? They can suck it. The psychiatric medication is a serious appetite stimulant. It's not unusual for patients to gain 50 or 100 pounds. I'd rather see a BP patient carrying a few extra pounds but stable, than thin and suffering.

    Thanks for scratching my inner pop culture geek behind the ear.

    @Steve Holt's Mother Part Deux:

    Most of the heartbreak songs he has from Hearts and Bones through Rhythm of the Saints are about her, including "She Moves On," too. As far as "Graceland" goes, it's really only the second verse that's about her - "She comes back to tell me that she's gone / as if I didn't know that..."

    @sexysecularist: that song is heartbreaking.

    She comes back to tell me she's gone
    As if I didn't know that
    As if I didn't know my own bed
    As if I'd never noticed
    The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
    And she said losing love
    Is like a window in your heart
