- Carrie Fisher & Bryan Lourd's daughter.
- Mark Hamill affectionately refers to her as his "Space Niece".
- For her role as Chanel #3 in Scream Queens (2015), she's constantly wearing earmuffs in every episode. This is a nod to the famous bun hairstyle her mother, Carrie Fisher, wore in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).
- Originally auditioned for the part of Rey in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) before Daisy Ridley was cast. This inspired J.J. Abrams to create the character Lieutennant Connix specifically for her.
- Fictionalized as "Honey" in her mother's novel The Best Awful, the sequel to Postcards From the Edge. The Best Awful is based on her parents' break-up after her father came out as gay.
- Boys told me they masturbated to pictures of my mom in Star Wars, and I'd run home crying. My mom would say, 'You know what you do? Turn around and say, "Me too." ' That's when I realized that my childhood wasn't 100 percent normal.
- I am not a big horror freak. I'm a bit of a scaredy-cat in general. I can't handle scary movies unless I am at home with the lights on and the doors locked or it is in the morning.
- My mom made me watch 'Star Wars' for the first time when I was about 7 years old. When I was younger, I hated action movies and pretty much anything loud. So when she put it on, I covered my ears and ran out of the room.
- She raised me to not think of men and women as different. She raised me without gender. It's kind of the reason she named me Billie. It's not about being a strong woman - it's about being a strong person.
- I am a Southern girl at heart, so I have a pulled pork sandwich and Key lime pie every day. It's a problem.
