• “In England, it's much easier to flip between doing television and film. It doesn't ruin one's career the way it sometimes does in America.

• “I hadn't read the novel Bleak House . I'd read Dickens, but not this novel. I'd read several of his great novels, though I think it's different if you read them when you're young. You appreciate the storytelling, the stand-out characters, but you don't appreciate his ability as a writer, the depth of his humanity. He writes about everything, the rich, the poor, the prisons, the law courts, the country houses, the orphans and the families. I read the script for Bleak House and I was tentative about it. I'd told the producers, 'I don't do television.' But they charmed me and I did actually read the novel. I was captivated.” (Gillian Anderson) [novel/novel/think/ability]
• “David (Duchovny) and I and (creator/producer) Chris Carter have been excited about and determined to do the next 'X Files' movie.

• “I try in my life to follow my heart in terms of what moves me and what is important to me. I know what it feels like to do things that are soul-decaying, and a lot of the large aspects of life in Hollywood, in the stereotypical way, I find unbelievably soul-decaying, and I choose, albeit frustratingly to other people in my life, not to expose myself to too much of that.” (Gillian Anderson) [life/follow/life/find]
