Dear Carrie,
If there's a choice between companionship and anything else—especially career—choose companionship. It's the only thing that has the potential to last. Choose career and you'll spend unreasonable amounts of time attempting to look younger than you are and feeling you aren't succeeding. Fame is not acceptance.
—Carrie Fisher, 55, actress and author
