More quotes by 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.
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 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.
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
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
In retrospect, I think that I've been given quite a few scripts over the years that had dark elements to them but most of them took place in the countryside with a haunted house. I think I've probably had that script about six to 10 times over the past few years. Or it was something to do with the supernatural.
Gillian Anderson
I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.
Gillian Anderson
Directing was a transformative experience for me, one that I really enjoyed.
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 would never point a finger at anyone and say, 'They lived their life badly.' I take it as it comes and deal with each situation as it arrives.
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
I was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.
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.
Gillian Anderson
I’m trying to accept where I’m at, not run from it.
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 used to take myself very seriously, now it's all just funny. You gotta laugh at yourself. You know, most of the time when something's a big deal for us, it's only become a big deal in the space between our ears.
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
My whole belief system is that our paths are drawn for us. I believe in reincarnation. I believe we're here to learn and grow. We choose how we come into this life based on what it is we have to learn. Some people have harder lessons than others.
Gillian Anderson
I have a real problem with stillness. With just stopping and being quiet.
Gillian Anderson
By moving to London I removed myself from the madness of the entertainment industry. I love the city and the culture, and it was an opportunity to bring my children up in a more sane environment.
