“You're the
first actress or actor who has not only looked down, but plugged
their ears when they saw themselves."
From: "Genie
VB"
Our good friend John was living in Vancouver, the Ancient Holy
Land
(as opposed to Los Angelos, the New Promised Land).
One day he had to drive over the the set where the X-Files was
being
filmed (This was several years ago and the show was still in it's
first
year of production). A friend of his had a small bit-part in a
scene and
John was picking up his friend after the days shooting was
complete.
While there, awaiting for his friend to change, he started
chatting with
David and Gillian (they were both kind of waiting around too, in
between
shoots). John says they chatted about mundane things, the show,
whatever. John is a very sweet and friendly man and people are
quite
drawn to him. Anyway the humorous part about this angelic
encounter is John's
comments about his encounter with David and Gillian.
David is fairly tall; six feet I believe. Our pal John is
six-four, and
in sneakers almost six-six!, so he had to look down on David,
*snicker*,
something I'm sure David doesn't get a whole lot.
But regarding Gillian, John's comment was: "She is REALLY
pretty. And
SHORT! Short! WOW - SHORT!! She's even shorter than B.J.,.."
(a female
friend of ours and the shortest woman we know! haha). "...I
mean, she is
soooooo tiny, man!" That's it, a "short" but sweet
encounter. :)

"Isn't a Saint or a Holy person just another term for
someone abnormal?"
(Scully)
"I have imagined
myself clamped to a steel table while she performs experiments on
me; I have imagined she and I running naked and feral in the
woods of New Jersey like the Jersey Devil and her mate; I have
imagined submitting to the forbidden fleshy desires of vampirism,
Gillian and I stalking the streets together after dark, devouring
our victims and biting each others' bits with glorious abandon.
But it's not going to happen, mainly because - sod it - Gillian's
Husband, former X-Files production artist Clyde Klotz, is in the
room next door.
Meeting Gillian Anderson in the flesh is something of a
paranormal experience. She is dressed, clearly for my benefit, in
a fashionable deep blue suit with matching heels. Stripped of
Scully's no-nonsense FBI trenchcoat and matching attitude,
Gillian is even more attractive than my feverishly overactive
imagination can muster. Up close she radiates an unaffected
sexuality, a luscious cocktail of emerald-green eyes, milk-white
skin and the sort of smile that could derail a train."
David Hughes, Sky Magazine Oct 96
:Q: We haven't talked
about your partner Gillian Anderson. It was rumored that the two
of you had had an affair.
A: "Gillian and I have a brother-sister relationship. If you
work with someone daily for twelve hours, that person, if she is
smart - and Gillian is smart - shouldn't want to meet the other
person after hours. That's also true for the other way
round."
Q: Can you remember being naked in Gillian Anderson's trailer?
[referring, I think, to a GA interview where she said she'd seen
David naked in her trailer and he was in 'good shape.']
A: "I'd mixed up the trailers. I thought it was mine, I went
in and stripped down. Gillian was more shocked than I was."
-- From Loessl, Ulrich. "Mr. X." German GQ Oct.
1998 by Mr DUCHOVNY (glaubt ihr es gibt davon irgendwo ein
Transcript?)
"When I play a scene with Gillian Anderson, there are always little looks between us which mean 'what do you think about what's happening?' It's a little as if we have secrets between us. Everything is conveyed by communication beyond words. Perhaps, after all, you could interpret that as love. But from that to imagining Mulder and Scully as a couple? I don't think that's going to happen one day.FROM Duchovny X-Rayed. Nov, 1998
"She's the other one holding the other side of the rope. I mean, I rely on her, I trust her, and she does me." by David DUCHOVNY
"From the beginning to now, you can see just a huge difference, not only in the fact that she's learned her craft and grown as an actor, but also the way her appearance has changed since we began this. She's an extremely hard-working young woman." Rob Bowman, Director; Vancouver Sun; 4/98
"I feel like I've split up from The X-Files more times than Liz Taylor [has divorced]," Duchovny cracks. "What remains is really just a sense of satisfaction for what the show has been and for the people I've been able to work with -- Gillian especially." -- David DUCHOVNY From TV Guide 'The Exit Files' May 18-24, 2002 by Mark Nollinger
"She really worked hard to find a truth in her character,
and it is very rare that an actress on television finds that
truth. I always wanted her to go for it, to do it better and
better, and not settle for less. Good enough isn't always good
enough. You've got to go for it, and once she had her confidence,
it was as though there was nothing she could not do. To this day,
she is one of the most remarkable performers I have had the
privilege of working with, and I would work with her again in a
second." David Nutter, Director; Vancouver Sun,
4/98
"My favorite episode is 'Humbug'. I enjoyed so much watching Gillian eat a bug."Jaap Broeker, X-Files Magazine, Summer 1997
Gillian told me that she was the one who chose 'sky is broken' for her episode. She and I met in L.A. She's very nice. Moby in einem Interview
"I feel blessed every day that I watch her work, because she gets better and better." Chris Carter on GA - Entertainment Weekly 2/9/96
"Gillian Anderson is a sweetheart, the nicest person in the world." Rob Bowman, X-Files Magazine, Summer 1997
"Gillian Anderson, the best co-star anybody can have..." David Duchovny
"She has beautiful eyes. They are big, blue, and wet." David Duchovny
"Gillian ist ausgesprochen intelligent und darüber hinaus sehr ehrgeizig. Das sind auch hervorstechende Wesensmerkmale von Scully, die sich gegenüber ihren männlichen Kollegen behaupten muss, dennoch aber ihre weibliche Ausstrahlung bewahrt."Chris Carter, Danke an STOAKY
"Sie ist fraglos ausgesprochen clever und gewitzt. Meine
Kollegen und ich haben ihr das Leben nicht leichtgemacht. Aber
sie hat jede Herausforderung bravourös gemeistert." Glen
Morgan, Danke an STOAKY
"I'm without soul, I lost all my tears, because I see her as an angel, between lots of devils" Ein Fan über Gillian.
"(...) Ich würde es toll finden, aber ich glaube nicht, dass es dazu kommen wird. Aber es wäre wirklich schön, da ich sie [Gillian Anderson] für eine außergewöhnliche Schauspielerin halte. Und das Fernsehen wird ihren Leistungen gar nicht gerecht. Sie gehört mit ihren Fähigkeiten einfach auf die Leinwand." Jodie Foster während eines Interviews, auf die Frage ob sie einen Film mit Gillian dreht
"Sie ist eine der nettesten und schönsten Menschen, die ich jemals getroffen habe. Sie hat den Style und die Schönheit wie sie oft in den 30ern zu sehen war. Wenn du mit ihr eine Szene drehst, dann bist du nur auf sie fokusiert. Das ist sehr selten. Bei einem Dreh musst du normalerweise auf so viele Dinge achten (Licht - Gestik), aber sie lässt dich das vergessen. Du hoffst mit ihr wieder und wieder arbeiten zu können. Ich bin sehr glücklich, mit ihr gearbeitet zu haben." Don S. Davis
"Who do I want to be the lead in my next movie? If she was in any way right, I want it to be Gillian." Peter Chelsom, Regisseur "The Mighty"- US Magazine 10/97
"Es ist für mich hilfreich, dass ich Gillian Anderson für eine sehr gute Schauspielerin halte."Franziska Pigulla, Gillian Anderson "deutsche Stimme"
"Fame had a good effect on Gillian. She’s always been
generous and loves to lavish things on family and friends. Now
she is loving being in a position to do just that." News
of the World, '96
"From the start Gillian had a real flair for the dramatic. That has simply always been her personality. But the first time I knew something was really up with her and acting was when she was 14 and a teacher assigned her the Romeo And Juliet balcony scene. Gillian had no background in Shakespeare, acting or anything remotely like it. Nobody on either side of our family had any experience with acting. Her father was interested in film production, but that had mostly been connected with industrial training films and commercials. But she studied that scene and mastered it with no effort whatever. When she performed it from me my jaw just dropped. I was incredibly impressed and knew then that she was going to be an actress. After that, nothing Gillian did surprised me. Rosemary, Gillians Mutter
"I think Gillian is very nearly a perfect woman. She is spectacular." Bean, The Kevin and Bean Show, '98
"She is a thousand times more beautiful than on TV. I almost gasped out loud." The Sunday Times Magazine, '98
"I was looking for someone who had that kind of period look: I wanted the film to look like Singer Sargent portraits," says [Terrence] Davies, [who directed her in The House of Mirth.] "And I saw her extraordinary face and that kind of luminosity that one associated with Greer Garson in the late 40s. I just thought ...she'll never meet me; she'll never say yes." The Guardian, '99
"Being with Gillian was like going to a surprise party," says Ric Murphy, one of Anderson's teachers at DePaul University's Goodman Theater School in Chicago (she graduated in 1990). "Gillian had an eight line part in a French farce but turned it into a star role just by the attitude she brought to it. She has an incandescence." People Magazine, '95
Carter describes her as "a classic beauty, who plays older than her years. I think she's very independent emotionally, very adult and mature." At the same time, he adds, "she's got the most easy and girlish laugh. She's a terrific comedic actress. TV Guide, '96
Ask costar Mitch Pileggi (FBI assistant director Skinner) what people would be most surprised to learn about Anderson and he doesn't hesitate. "Her sense of humor. Once she gets the giggles, it's like, forget it."
Gillian Anderson's hit TV
show The X-files is more entertaining than most movies, and many
people think she's a better actress than you see in most movies,
too. I asked a male fan of The X-Files to explain her
attractiveness. He said: "Unlike some actresses, who reveal,
no matter what they're playing, that they know they're beautiful,
Gillian Anderson is beautiful, but gives you the impression she
doesn't know it." Movieline, '95
She comes to the series as a virtual unknown, having worked
primarily in theater. Yet by mid-season (if not earlier), it was
obvious she was perfect for the role. With Anderson at the helm,
Scully is smart, resourceful, and strong-everything that the Lois
& Clark writers are trying (usually unsuccessfully) to do
with Teri Hatcher´s Lois. Yet Scully is not some cliched
"female Rambo"; Anderson brings a femininity to the
role that succeeds marvelously. Craig Miller, '94
This is one sharp, confident, professional, logical, sensible
character who can and does squish her partner's ego with an
effortless eyebrow-up zinger. In other words, she's dead sexy. Vancouver
Magazine, '94
Gillian Anderson, Special Agent Dana Scully of The X-Files, is
not your ordinary sex symbol. Neither leggy nor busty, she's
referred to by some of her fans as IDDG, which stands for
"Intellectually Drop-Dead Gorgeous". They love her for
her mind. Starlog, '95
She's helped prove that a television role that allows a woman to
be smart, professional, and the equal of her male partner does
exist. Associated Press, '94
It's hard to imagine anyone else in the role. And the Emmy
Award-winning Anderson has claimed Dana Scully for her own,
crafting a character unlike any other currently on television
through impassioned yet understated performances. Sci-Fi
Entertainment, '98
Chris Carter says that (despite her short resume') he knew
immediately that he 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, '94) Chris Carter
was making a show unlike any other, and he needed an
unconventional star. "Gillian had that stare," he says,
"and a kind of mysterious aura about her." (Express on
Sunday, '98) "She's actually quite like Scully," he
says. "She has an intensity about her, and she's
intelligent." (People Magazine, '95) "She came in
looking a little disheveled, a little grungier than I'd imagined
Scully," Carter recalls. "But you can't miss those
classic features. And she had a seriousness, a believability as a
scientist." Network execs balked; they wanted an established
TV actress. "I got up," remembers Carter, "and
said quite loudly that I did not want that other actress. I
wanted Gillian." Entertainment Weekly, '95
"She has from the beginning shown unfailing instincts about
Scully. Her notes and ideas and questions--and her
objections to some of the ways that the character has been
written--have always been smart. Oftentimes Scully was the
straight man, the fuddy-duddy, the stick in the mud. It took away
the opportunity to lighten up. But Gillian has made sure that the
character is not rigid by her approach. What she has done is
expand the character by her strength, using qualities that are so
unlike Scully. What you see is a person that completely assumed
and became a character, and has been a part of the impetus of
that character's growth." (L.A. Times, '99) Carter likens
her to gold: "I feel blessed every day that I watch her
work, because she gets better and better." Entertainment
Weekly, '95
Barry (Bear) Horton, a burly, bearded Teamster driver with
colourful tattoos all over his chest and arms, doubled as
Anderson's trailer driver, unofficial bodyguard and personal
protector of her three-year-old daughter Piper for the past five
years. "I've worked with Richard Gere and Sharon Stone
and plenty of others," Horton said, "and I can tell you
that Gillian is the most genuine person I have ever worked with
-- and the most genuinely talented." The Vancouver
Sun, '98
For The Mighty, a secondary role that she was originally rejected
for by director Peter Chelsom (Hear My Song), she sent him a
homemade videotape of herself, reciting dialogue from the script.
"I realized that she has that Meryl Streep thing of
transforming herself," says Chelsom, who had felt until
viewing her tape that GA wasn't old enough for the part and was
too refined looking. "Who do I want to be the lead in my
next movie? If she was in any way right, I want it to be
Gillian." US Magazine, '97
WHY SHE ROCKS: Because she takes the role of Lily Bart in the new
adaptation of Edith Wharton's The House of Mirth and runs with
it. Because the way she shows the rolling layers of morality and
melancholy beneath the porcelain exterior is why we go to the
movies. Because we had no idea. Premiere, 2001
I think she's amazing. It's early to say this with absolute
confidence, but Ms Anderson is showing signs of having been born
for the stage. I think she may open some eyes very wide indeed.
And she started on stage. She's a stage creature who
had the good luck to have a TV series that'll make her
comfortable and give her freedom for the rest of her career, and
now she just has to catch up with all that stuff she was
daydreaming about! She's a very interesting lady, a very
deep and surprising lady who comes out with very unusual
observations about things. Micheal Weller, author of
What the Night is For, Theatregoer Magazine 2002
The unusual thing about Anderson’s big-screen career is not
that she’s avoided parts that play off Scully, but how good
she’s been in her aggressively eccentric departures. Odd as
it seems for someone who’s managed to portray the same
character week after week for over five year’s, Anderson
appears to be a chameleon-type actress. The extreme
purposefulness with which she approaches her work may be the only
characteristic she shares with Dana Scully. Anderson herself is
an emotional self-explorer for whom the truth “out
there” has never been as compelling as the truth in there.
It would probably take quite an array of different screen
characters just to let out the energies that have been tamped
down by the seasons of playing the straight-arrow Scully. Movieline, '98
"She has a deep intensity about her; it's a real dramatic
focus," says Shawna Franks, a close friend of Anderson's
since the two were drawn to each other as punk rockers at DePaul
University's Goodman Theater School. "But that's just one
side to her. She's funny and spontaneous and warm, and there's a
spiritual side to her. She can be incredibly goofy." US
Magazine, '97
There is no doubt that Anderson is an intense person, but there's
also a reckless joie de vivre that is very appealing. UK

reviews
writing and directing
...about David - On the other hand, David is not here and there was something that we shared as actors and as human beings and as characters that cannot be reproduced. Not like anybody is trying to reproduce it, but it's just not the same. There was an energy that was between us that was very powerful and very profound, and I miss that. Scully misses that.
"He came over to me in the hallway at the network audition and asked if we could read through the scene together. We did, and it was amazing. Better than anything that we've done since”
....about the fans - Well a lot of fans already know how I feel about them but it's been extraordinary to have such a huge fan - devoted fan - base from the very beginning of the show and there have been a lot of people that have stuck with us and even for the people that haven't, you know, it's just that they did at all was amazing and it's just been the greatest support that we've gotten and I hope we have done you proud
....about life - But at the same time, it's always important to take any response about anything with a grain of salt and respond to things in life the same way, whether it's a happy response or not so happy response. Life is much easier on a more even keel that way.
”You know, sometimes I don't understand it because I'm not a tv watcher and I've never been passionate about a particular show. And then ... David and I will get together and do a scene together or I'll watch a scene that we've done and it just ... it tugs on something inside of me .... and all of a sudden, I get it. There's something historical there. I think I know enough about Files, in general ... to last a lifetime!”
...about getting the role of Lilly Bart - A couple years ago, after I did a movie called Playing by Heart, I was given by the cinematographer, Vilmos Zsigmond, as a wrap gift, a beautiful hardbound copy of The House of Mirth, the novel. It was just completely unexpected but much appreciated. The following year I was in London. I had four days there, taking no meetings. I just wanted to relax, and one of my agents called. I'm in a cab, and he's talking to me about meetings, and I said, "Look. Please, no. I'm not taking any." He said, "Well, there's this one, this obscure director. You'll never have heard of him. His name is Terence Davies." I had been a fan of Terence's work [Distant Voices, Still Lives]. There was one film, in particular, The Long Day Closes. Aspects of it moved me to tears at the time. There was just something about the emotion in his camera work that really affected me. So hearing my agent mention his name, I said, "Sure. I'll meet with him." And then he said that it was for The House of Mirth. It was so weird. So we set up this meeting at the Covent Garden Hotel, and I sat in this funny little library with him and the executive producer, Olivia Stewart. It was just this meeting. I mean, I can't tell you how many meetings I've had. Meetings are a dime a dozen. And then Terence flew out to Los Angeles because he was interested based on that meeting. We met in a hotel room at Shutters, and I read with him for the role. And between the time that I had this meeting with him in London and the time that I met in Los Angeles, of course, I had read the script and was very strongly affected by it, and the thought of him doing this project was very attractive to me. I didn't realize, at that time, that he hated flying. He never flew, and yet he was coming over to Los Angeles. And this was something that he had been working on for years. I wasn't sensitive to any of that. Here I was, just reading for a director I had a great deal of respect for, but I didn't know that this was what would get me the role. So many times you read, and then a week later you hear about it. Basically, we read together for this, and at the end of the meeting Terence says, [in a very proper British accent] "Would you like to play Lily Bart?" [She giggles]. I said, "Yes. I would love to," and I was honored.
...about getting
the role of Scully - There is a seriousness about me,
sometimes to a fault, that I think helped me to get the role. The
character is written very seriously. She rarely cracks a smile.
She is always very straight forward, very single-mindedly
dedicated to her work.
I don't think of Scully as a hard character to play," she
says, "Do you?" Well, yes. There's a ton of scientific
dialogue that Anderson has to spout every episode and she must
operate-and make Scully feel real--in the very specific, very
surreal X-Files milieu. Obviously, people in the business
appreciate Anderson's uphill task, for they've certainly piled on
the acting nominations and awards. "I guess, in a way, it is
hard when I think about it," she says. "I've never
really thought about it before. Challenges are, one, to make all
the technical and medical stuff work, so it doesn't put anyone to
sleep and so that people can follow the story. Two, there are
opportunities all over the place for this character to come off
as very bossy and self-centered and not likable, just based on
some of the dialogue she has to say and some of the situations
she's placed in. One of the challenges has been to come at that
side of her from a place that is based in pure strength and
humility, with no degree of attitude or self-serving."
I feel like the writers have really allowed her to grow in a very
wonderful and progressive way and so that fact has kept her, as a
character, alive and has kept her alive for me too. I feel so
fortunate to be able to live with a character like Scully,
because I can imagine how characters in other shows, that are
less interesting, that have less integrity, must be so difficult
to show up and be on a daily basis, and I really haven’t
ever experienced that.
...about Piper -
She is my number one priority and it may be that sometimes my
interest in keeping her world as level and sane as possible may
get in the way of future projects, and it may not. I may be able
to work stuff out but it's something every parent has to deal
with. I think actors in general, for the most part, try very hard
to consider the children and to juggle as effectively as
possible. It's a little more complicated in this particular
situation [being a single mother] but it's all workable. And
she's incredibly resilient and she loves traveling and she's very
patient. I love her very much so I'm going to try and make it as
easy on her as possible.
With him, (Clyde) Piper gets to feel grounded, she has all his
fmaily around. And with me she gets to see the world.
My hope for her is that she survives. That she comes out strong
in this... What she's had to endure has been a tall order. And my
wish for her is that she grows up knowing how much she's loved
and loveing herself to the degree that she doesn't have to hurt
herself.
”When I became a mother, something inside me shifted. I have a little person who looks to me and depends on me. Having Piper saved my life -- it took the focus off of me and put it on something much more important."
...about Scully as a role model - I think certainly that the role of Scully changed the role of women in television. I think Chris Carter's writing this character has made sweeping changes in the face of television over the past seven years. It's extraordinary that young girls can look up to a character who is smart and brainy and can stand up for herself. She's very independent. Personally, I live in a very different world than my character. I know I don't pretend to be something I'm not, but I don't know if I'm an example of a modern woman.
...about Scully - There
is a sense of a comfort with herself, a strength in herself and
what she has to offer that I think is something young girls need
to strive for
PT: How has Scully changed over the past couple of years?
GA: I think she's gotten stronger. There's been a natural
development and focus of her independence in the show. The
writers are primarily responsible for that. I also feel as I have
gotten used to the character and grown up with the character and
matured in my own life and my own way that it's benefited her
areas of strength. This season in particular, from not anything
that has happened on purpose, just from the flow of the scripts
and the work that I have been doing, she seems has her becoming
more and more strong-willed and independent from Mulder all the
time
...about
why she is not reading reviews on the net - That's one reason
I don't participate, because it's very personal stuff and in
terms of the character I don't want to be influenced too much by
people's opinions. I have to stick very closely as to how I feel
how the character needs to be portrayed from episode to
episode.
...about Scully's dialogue - Sometimes it's very hard to say this
stuff and make it sound like I know what I'm talking about,
because I don't. There's always a level at which I'm lost. It's
fascinating, I can't tell you how much I hold in my brain after
the scene ... I probably forget everything that I supposedly
learned. But I have a great deal of respect for someone who has
to keep that stuff in their brain to use on a daily basis. --- At
one point I was very interested in biology. Before I got
interested in acting I was interested in marine biology a
lot.
...about writing and
directing 'all things' - It was an amazing experience. I
didn't realize how much I was going to enjoy it. It was a process
of doing something that you've never done before, that you are
both exhilarated by and terrified by at the same time. Jumping in
and figuring out how to write an episode, how to construct a
script, knowing exactly what to shoot and trying to do all that
while shooting 14-hour days on the other side of the camera. I
got a lot of support from the producers and the cast. The
creative process appealed to me very much because I'm a
detail-oriented person. I like lists. I like crossing things off
on lists. I like crossing my t's and dotting my i's. It was
absolutely exhilarating.
