Carrie Fisher and her dog, Gary, on "Good Morning America."Lou Rocco—ABC/Getty Images by [Sarah Begley](https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/) ## Sarah Begley Dec 5, 2015 9:07 PM UTC Talk shows see a constant churn of celebrities promoting their films, albums and TV shows, and the non-stop parade of soundbites can sometimes grow monotonous. But in her interview with _Good Morning America_, Carrie Fisher proves it’s possible to bring more than a little personality to the table. Fisher, who plays General Leia in the upcoming _Star Wars: The Force Awakens_, resisted the usual clichés in her spot, bringing along her odd-looking dog, Gary, and telling viewers their tongues would loll out of their mouths like his after they see the film. Asked whether it took some convincing to get her to sign on for the reboot, Fisher said, “No, I’m a female in Hollywood, over the age of let’s say 40 and then we could also say 50…They don’t have to ask you if you want to work at that age, you’ll see someday.” Fisher then discussed her weight loss for the shoot, telling her interviewer that she would normally not want to touch the topic, “But you’re so thin, let’s talk about it. How do you keep that going on?” Sit back and enjoy this perfectly wacky interview, and may more celebrities follow in Fisher’s path. ### See Every _Star Wars_ Cover in TIME Magazine History  R2-D2 and BB-8 on the cover of the Dec. 14, 2015 issue of TIME.
