Gillian Anderson Filmography

• "I loved digging up worms and cutting them up into little pieces.  In the interests of science, of course!"
• "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."
• "I am more spontaneous than my character..."
• "Fame is complicated and definitely overrated. There are perks to it that are unfathomable. But the other aspect is there's little to no privacy at all - being anywhere at any time and knowing that somebody you cannot see is probably taking a picture of you, which has happened hundreds of times. I look around and cannot see anyone and a couple of weeks later I see a photo of me looking around."
