I became an actor because it was the only thing I could do. I didn't have any friends, I didn't fit in. But when I started acting everything in my life shifted and I felt happy.

More quotes by Gillian Anderson
Mads is such a talented actor - it's almost like he wears his emotions on his sleeve, but not all the time - when he decides that he needs to, he has such access to his emotional life and it is just really incredible. He can do everything with just his eyes.
Gillian Anderson
We are all dying. Every single day that we are alive.
Gillian Anderson
When I'm inside the character, I feel like I'm a different person, and then when you see that character on screen and I see that it's me, I find that disappointing.
Gillian Anderson
I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.
Gillian Anderson
I didn't pay as much attention in school as I would have liked to.
Gillian Anderson
Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.
Gillian Anderson
There is this view that if you are not tormented you cannot be vital and creative. I would like to think that is not true.

Human trafficking is a globally assisted pandemic that generates billions of dollars of income a year.
Gillian Anderson
I simply cannot fathom the horrors of being enslaved, and the thought that children are ripped apart from their families and used year in and out for sex and hard labor under the threat of violence and death breaks my heart.
Gillian Anderson
It's taken a while for me to convince people that I can do something other than Scully. And it still takes effort.
Gillian Anderson
There's a big part of me that would love to be a secret agent. But if I showed up to do an investigation and interrogate someone now, they wouldn't be able to take me seriously. I've ruined that for myself.
Gillian Anderson
I tend to be very skeptical and judgmental. I'm not really a conspiracy theorist, but I'm more likely to believe the people that speak about a conspiracy, or are convinced of conspiracies in the government, than the people who have 100 percent faith in the people who are running America.
Gillian Anderson
I'm actually very scared of sharks. I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was young, which may not have been compatible with that fear.
Gillian Anderson
I've seen productions where it feels like the actors are just tired and want to go home. That is one of the challenges doing theater - especially a long production - how to keep it alive for yourself and the audience.
Gillian Anderson
It's a proven fact that when you raise the status of girls and women in a country, that country does much better economically.
Gillian Anderson
Unfortunately, the belief that women are a minority is endemic in most cultures around the world. Obviously some take it to the extreme where violence against women is legal and supported and in other cultures it is more subversive and easy to dismiss as progress.
Gillian Anderson
Thinking man's crumpet? Well, it's more flattering than being a lobotomised man's crumpet, I suppose.
Gillian Anderson
Self-esteem should have nothing to do with what you look like – if you exude genuine confidence, people will be swept into it. You have to be able to hold yourself.

When I think of normality I think of mediocrity
