Gillian Anderson
Gillian Anderson is the most amazing actress on the market today, in my opinion, and it is her portrayal of Scully that has given many young women, myself included, the strength to keep going in this most uncertain world. This is my small tribute to her.
"I'd like to see an alien very much ... It wouldn't surprise me if there were a government cover-up. It seemms so likely that there's something other than us in the universe ..."
"I feel I've paid a lot of dues, not necessarily in the amount of time I've pounded the pavement, but in my life."
"I try to be humble in the midst of everthing, and appreciate everything that has come my way."
"I used to not like myself. I spent time over wight, underwight, dressed in black, hiding. In the past couple of years, I've started to open up. What's scary is, I'm doing it in front of millions of people."
"I've gotten quite a few letters from young girls that say I'm a role-model, and this is probably one of the best compliments (I could get as an actor ...It's terrific because of what the character represents: honesty ... hard work and dedication and passion- and if that's what they're tapping into, that's fantastic. "
"I'm incredibly strong- willed. I want to do what I want to do. I'm not controlling, but I know what I want ... I have goals. I have things I want to acomplish. i will do whatever I need to do to move forward to whatever is my destiny."
"There is something somewhat vulnurable about being in the puclic's eye, to a certain degree ... Having that feeing, hearing 'Scully' whispered as you pass people. It reminds you constantly that you're not in you're private little world."
