More quotes by Gillian Anderson

Gillian Anderson
People always ask if I was really voted Most Bizarre Girl in high school. But that one's actually true. I was living in Michigan in a very conservative town and had a nose-ring and a shaved head and did kind of strange things.
Gillian Anderson
When the show's not around any more, it's going to be hard not to have her in my life.
Gillian Anderson
I have a real problem with stillness. With just stopping and being quiet.
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 will only take something or agree to do something that I feel like I understand, and inherent in understanding is empathy.
Gillian Anderson
It is not a matter of being fearless. The fear is sometimes constant, but it's about moving forward regardless of the fear. Courage means feeling the fear and doing it anyway.
Gillian Anderson
I always felt I wasn't completely American and I wasn't completely British: there was a feeling of having my feet in both places.
Gillian Anderson
In time, she learned to develop her own opinion of the people that she worked for, and she got stronger. Think she's now much stronger. In the beginning she wanted to believe she was strong but sometimes she faltered.
Gillian Anderson
I'm sure with a production that's not particularly well received or mediocrely received, it must be incredibly challenging to get up and keep doing it.
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.
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
When I think of normality I think of mediocrity
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
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
People come in and out of our lives to teach us. And we teach other people. It's part of the process. They come in and they go out. Some stay for longer than others.
Gillian Anderson
Right now the topic of female empowerment is at the forefront of conversation and it's important we take advantage of the trend while there is added pressure to adjust long-standing beliefs, prejudices, and cultural discrimination.
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
If I chose to have a nanny, I'd be able to pay to have a nanny - a lot of women don't have that opportunity. I don't feel like I'm a working single mom, because I have that option that a lot of people don't have.
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
