Leave it to Carrie Fisher to give sound advice to her young daughter, Billie Lourd. In a new interview with Town and Country magazine, Billie revealed the wise words her mother shared.

“I remember a time when I was nine years old. I got in trouble in school for stealing something out of someone’s backpack, and she picked me up and she sat me down in the car,” Billie said. “And she turned to me and said, ‘Are you going to grow up to be an a–hole?’ And I started crying. She talked to me like an adult my whole life. I always think that now: I don’t want to grow up to be an a–hole!”

She later said: “The last time I saw [Carrie] in person, this episode of ‘Scream Queens’ was on, and it was a big episode for me. I had tons of scenes, and I was so hard on myself about it—I hated how I looked, hated my performance. I was really frustrated. She told me, ‘Come over right now. I want to watch this with you.’ And she made me sit down and watch it, and she forced me to see the good parts. She was incredible like that. But she was really hard on me, saying, ‘Shut up, you’re great in this. Have faith in yourself. Be more confident,’” she continued.

Billie also said there were attributes about her mother she herself doesn’t have:

“From my mom, maybe living too out in the open,” she explained. “It’s good to a certain extent. It’s good to be authentic, to help other people, but if it’s not helping other people, then don’t do it. There were a couple incidents I wish she could have kept to herself. But, you know, that was the beauty of her.”
