Gillian Anderson

"Just saw Gillian Anderson in A Streetcar Named Desire at St Ann's warehouse. She was remarkable, powerful, funny, tragic."

"I mean I was OBSESSED with The X-Files and I wanted to marry... She was the one person who I was like, 'We're gonna get married. One of these days, she and I will finally meet and this will finally happen.' So last night I was just sitting next to her like, [whispers] 'It's Gillian Anderson, oh my God.' I don't even know what I said or how I answered the questions; I was just looking at her like, 'She's so beautiful.'"

"Just finished watching the utterly compelling series The Fall on Netflix. What an amazing and beautiful actress. That's Gillian Anderson of course. I knew she was amazing when she was in Bleak House, but she gets better and better."

"G-Money, as I call her."

"... Gillian Anderson. One of the nastiest actors I have run into in all these years in the business. David was just the sweetest, and kept me from walking off the job."

"Who wouldn't be infatuated by Gillian Anderson?! Gillian Anderson could play a rabbit and I would be totally be infatuated by her."

"You are our most censored guest ever... But it was my fault; I asked you what was your favorite curse word and you continued to use it like 48 times."

"I thought Gillian Anderson was amazing in The House of Mirth, also adapted from a Wharton novel. She should certainly have been nominated for an Oscar. Will you put that in, please? Every now and then I think there is huge injustice in our business."

"I'm in awe of Gillian's work of late, all of the stuff that she’s done. Oh my god, The Fall, she’s amazing in that! It's just always great to see a great actor, so that's exciting right there. And Duchovny is everybody’s favorite puppy dog."

"I knew I was gay when I would stay up and watch Saturday Night Live, put on a wifebeater and lift weights. Also, I'd masturbate to Gillian Anderson in The X-Files... That's when my mom found out."

"Outstanding. Fantastic. She's a stunning living legend."

"She's a fantastic wonderful actress and she's an extremely funny person as well. So we had some good fun quality time together."

"I have to say something about Gillian Anderson before we go on. Have you seen her in The Fall? This is just an amazing actress, just an amazing actress. I just have to throw that in there. So she's had to sort of transcend Scully, I think, and she has."

"Being with Gillian was like going to a surprise party. 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."

"Honestly, Gillian Anderson as the next James Bond would be the greatest thing of all time."

"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."

"Gillian's a lot of fun, very intelligent, has great ideas and creates a lovely atmosphere on set."

"Just like Mitch Pileggi, I too had a crush on you."

"Skinner had a huge, huge, huge crush on Scully and that's why he was so pissed off at Mulder all the time, because he knew he didn’t have a chance and it was always there. And it was so easy; just looking at you. Because I had a crush on you! I ended up marrying her photo-double, so here you go. That's all I'm going to say about that."

"When I did The X-Files I didn't have a lot to do with her, except when I was lying there dead. But she was so sweet; she welcomed me to the set, she thanked me for being a part of the show. An Amazing woman. I think she also broke boundaries, because on television she wasn’t this tall statuesque blonde that you would expected that the network would cast. They cast this really interesting, beautiful, nonetheless but interesting, intelligent woman. And I think she changed the way people perceived women on television, because she broke the mold. She wasn't what you expected and she ended being probably one of the most beautiful. So I have huge admiration for her."

"I was very lucky to see the brilliant Gillian Anderson as Blanche in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Young Vic in London the other night. She is just exceptional... what a power house."
