The X Files set is a virile spot, full of jockish joking and camaraderie. “There’s a lot of testosterone on the set, “ she agrees. Chris Carter is an avid surfer, and David Duchovny is a longtime jock, but Gillian Anderson, who also surfs, holds her own in this company. “I tend to be guy-friendly. “
She pauses, then says the following slowly and carefully: “It only bothers me when it makes it difficult for inclusion in any way. I am very independent. I can take care of myself, I don’t feel left out. But when it has to do with work, and my input on the work, I need to be heard. I will not tolerate not being heard as a result of excess testosterone. “
“And is the group of people good about hearing you? “ I ask.
She pauses and says, “Uhh … yes and no. “
IBG is thrilled to announce that to date we have raised a little over $47,000 for SA-YES as a result of the conversation series event with Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny!!! We wanted to share this fantastic news with you all because we couldn’t have done this without your tremendous and generous support. “No one gets there alone.”

“Reuniting with David and Gillian was a lovefest. We are a dysfunctional family, but a family”

Some of my favorites Chris Carter quotes about Gillian Anderson. She would never have became Dana Scully without him so I will never thank this man enough for that (along with Randy Stone who brought her to him)
“Despite her short resume I knew immediately that I had found Scully. Men you know their eyes pop out at the sex kittens but it’s the formidable women who win the hearts” Vancouver Magazine
~~~~
“She has from the beginning show unfailing instinct about Scully. Her notes and ideas and questions – and objections to some of the ways that the character has been written- have always been smart. What you see is a person that completely assumed and became a character, and has been a part of the impetus of the character’s growth” LA Times
~~~~
“A classic beauty, who plays older than her years. I think she’s very independent emotionally, very adult and mature. At the same time, she’s got the most easy and girlish laugh. She is a terrific comedic actress” TV Guide
~~~~
”She is actually quite like Scully. She has an intensity about her and she is very, very intelligent” People magazine
~~~~
“I feel blessed every day that I watch her work, because she gets better and better.” Entertainment Weekly
~~~~
~~~~
“Gillian has that stare and a kind of a mysterious aura about her” Express on Sunday
~~~~
“I think the thing that’s really amazing about her is how much she stayed the same. Her success, her celebrity, which is enormous, really hasn’t changed her. I think she’s…I don’t know if she’s comfortable with it but she certainly has the ability to process it, to handle it and to stay on the ground.” LA Times
