Young women have more choices to make today about what to be. One of those choices is activist. (Gillian Anderson)
Peace of mind, right mind, right action. View quote
Gillian Anderson
Get out of the house. Find other human beings to communicate with. Read a book. Do yoga. Meditate. Be of service. That is one of the biggest single most things to get one out of oneself, is being of service to people who are less fortunate than ourselves. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I would masturbate in a red speedo. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I try, in my life, to follow my heart. I know what it feels like to do things that are soul-decaying. A large aspect of life in Hollywood, in a stereotypic way, I find unbelievably soul-decaying. And I choose, albeit frustratingly to other people in my life, not to expose myself too much to too much of that. View quote
Gillian Anderson
You know, it's a big version of an episode, which I think is necessary at this point because we're drawing in people who not only people who have seen the show before and are devoted to it, but people who have never seen it before. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I have a tendency to go through my life at full speed and as a one-man band, and so I don't generally stop and take in other people enough to develop many relationships. I'm starting to regret that a bit. I want to change it. View quote
Gillian Anderson
Sometimes I read a script and it's obvious from early on that it's one where the suspension of disbelief has to develop strongly from page one. Some are more reality-based. View quote
Gillian Anderson
In my case, I was born to parents who were very young, and I don't think they were entirely ready to have a child. My dad was going to college and working two or three jobs at the same time, and my mum was working and going to school. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I think she definitely has. I think, um, her and Mulder's relationship has become more equal. And, I think she has become stronger and more independent over the seasons. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I didn't pay as much attention in school as I would have liked to. (Gillian Anderson)
I also respond very strongly to characters I have not done before... something I can really sink my teeth into, and what's scary, and what terrifies me, because that's where I need to go. View quote
Gillian Anderson
In England, I get offered films. I don't get offers in America. People don't know what to do with me in America. And I've disappeared. View quote
Gillian Anderson
At the beginning [of The X-Files] the pay disparity was massive. But that happens all the time in Hollywood. It's, 'Do this for me, I'll get you a job.' All the stuff in the papers today about people in entertainment who have abused their position... it's built into our society. It's easy to miss and it's easy to get used to it. There are things that are intolerable in today's world, in terms of the perception of women. Whether they're vamps or vixens, the expectation that, if a woman is wearing a short skirt, she's 'asking for it.' View quote
Gillian Anderson
We were in a small Republican town. There were only six punks there. We were weird. It's not like London. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I've always been a believer. I've been a believer in many different realms of alternate reality, the human capacity to move out of different planes of reality. It's something that has been with me since I was a child. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I wouldn't say I'm normal. But I'm relatively stable. When I think of normal, I think of mediocrity, and mediocrity scares the f--- out of me. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I love it when women come up to me and tell me I'm a positive influence on their lives and the lives of their young daughters. That's a great feeling. View quote
Gillian Anderson
You're only given as much as you can handle at any given time. Whether it's true or not, it gives you the strength. View quote
Gillian Anderson
People generally treat me like I'm very intelligent and really, I'm much less intelligent than she is. Scully is insanely intelligent. View quote
Gillian Anderson
Dear Gillian, You are completely and utterly self obsessed. If you spent a quarter of your time thinking about others instead of how much you hate your thighs, your level of contentment and self worth would expand exponentially. One thing I learned way too late in the game for my own good was that you can effectively increase your self esteem by doing estimable things. (Gillian Anderson)
It's so funny, because right now I'm very tired and my brains a little dead, I tend to get very focused and serious. So, I'm probably coming off a lot more like Scully right now. View quote
Gillian Anderson
I am more spontaneous than my character. View quote
Gillian Anderson
To re-live these characters would be wonderful, because I know when the show ends it will be huge mourning process. View quote
Gillian Anderson
At the beginning Scully was much more sceptical than she is now. View quote
