Carrie Fisher dedicated her platform to mental health awareness & female empowerment. She is a reason + reminder to keep up your fight. RIP

If you haven't read Carrie Fisher's books yet, go read them. She was so talented and charismatic. Her life is inspiring.

The fact that "Postcards From The Edge" inspired me even more than "Star Wars" is really saying something. #CarrieFisher

Carrie Fisher was a such a big part of life here in L.A. The world has lost another great talent and a wonderful person. Love & Mercy.

So sad to hear about the unique Carrie Fisher. Once, at the White House, I got to tell her the story of how she accidentally saved my life.

Being funny, battling addiction, de-stigmatizing mental illness, Star Wars. Carrie Fisher embodied so many things that mean so much to me.
