Étiquette : gillian anderson

On the topic of Piper’s nationality. Provided all nationality laws work the same, she’s most likely a citizen of Canada because of her birthplace, the US because of Gillian’s nationality, and Germany because of Clyde’s. This is IF she didn’t decide to have a nationality revoked (which is possible since she’s an adult) or was naturalized in the UK. Then again, I can only speak knowing citizenship laws in the US. Some countries also don’t allow multiple citizenship. It’s super confusing.

Well, as Gillian recently said she’s worried about the Brexit because her daughter is German, I guess she really is. I just wonder why she doesn’t have the two citizenship like Gillian for example. This family’s citizenship is a mess 😂

that new interview with gillian hasn’t been transcribed very well. there are words missing, grammatical errors, you name it. anyway, i digress…i think, like your previous anon said, gillian was talking about her british romantic partners in the context of discussing her english accent. so, in other words, their accents have influenced hers, along with her upbringing.

Yes, it seems like the journalist wasn’t a native speaker, or was just lazy so I guess what’s written isn’t exactly her words anyway.

Hi, native speaking English teacher here. Let me help with this « my partners have been British » drama. This is present perfect tense. A better sentence would have been « I HAVE HAD partners who have been British. » But in a rushed interview environment and editing, this was a quicker way for Gillian to express that part of the reason she has a British accent is that her « partners have been British. » This doesn’t imply at all than ALL partners (& children) have been British, just that some HAVE.

Thanks Ma’am 🙂

I’m still laughing at that « my partners have been British » remark. Clyde was German and Canadian. Rodney was American. Julian was South African. Mark was British. David is American. 😀😀😀 Her partners have NOT all been British. What the hell, Gillian? Or was she misquoted?

I don’t know if she’s been misquoted or if her bad memory made her forget a whole part of her life and one of her children, but in this case, it’s worrisome.

In what interview did she say she was worried about Piper getting to stay in UK after Brexit?

HERE  You have to translate it bc I think it is the Serbian language. 

I just did copy/paste from translator bc has no time to correct it, so ignore mistakes.

Did you personally bregzit hit?

The irony is that my daughter has a German passport because her father was a German. He lives and goes to school in Britain and now the question is what it all means and what will continue to be with her. This is something that suddenly affects her life and what we are all concerned. What will be the final result of the exit of Britain from the European Unije that no one really knows, but it is certain that this sudden insecurity at home, in my family, brought a dose of worry.

Ok, I am not a native speaks but I do not get it?did she say she has a british partner now-did i miss that part?bc this Interview totally ignored clyde and piper for that matter?!anyway the last time she reffered to a partner it was dd (in a spoken interview)and as long as I do not hear her say sth else or show off someone else…

No, to me she was clearly referring to previous partners. She used past tense. If she was with a Brit now, she would have said “my partner is British”. That’s not what she said.
That said, this sentence is clearly not accurate with her real life, I don’t know what citizenship Piper has, maybe she has a double one, Canadian and British, but clearly all her partners haven’t been British.

This was an interesting sentence, only because it shows that we know little of the real Gillian or her real life. « Q: Which character was most fun to play? GILLIAN’S A: Probably Marilyn Monroe, because she’s so bright and lighthearted and I am not. I tend to be so serious, so it was nice to embody someone whose persona is bubbly and bright spirited and flirty. » We think she’s a troll, silly, dirty and fun and flirty and playful, but she says she’s the opposite, which we can get glimpses of.

That’s true, but I also think there’s a difference between the image people have of you, what you think you are and what you really are. She thinks about her as serious, we know she can be, but we know she can also be lighthearted and funny, but maybe she doesn’t see herself like that.

New X-Files

I actually don’t know, we know absolutely nothing, we have been working on the deal for many months and it’s really us taking an opportunity to maybe bring closure. I didn’t really feel like the end of the last season was a place for us to finish definitely.  There was a lot of consideration about whether there really was an audience for it, whether it was something that we could improve on and how if we were moving forward, could make them even better. In the end, we agreed that we would like to have one more go at it.

We know that the fans are still there. The surprising thing was that there are new fans. There’s a whole other generation of fans who discovered it through Netflix and I think to be met still by 13 years olds who are talking about how they have seen all the episodes or they just start watching a year ago and they obsess and they can’t wait for the new season.  The show has a longevity beyond what we had ever imagined.

David Bowie

Gillian Anderson: It was a very different experience with each of the different characters, and how it felt like it was necessary to work with each of them and to what degree of Media herself shows up in each of the personifications. David Bowie was one of the biggest challenges but also figuring out that balance of how much is Media and how much is the character coming through. How much is it okay aspects of myself to come through so that it doesn’t become a caricature.  There was quite a lot of sadness in David if you watch his interviews, a real melancholy to him. That’s one of the things I picked up on.  In trying to find the rhythm of his voice without diving too much into it that it felt like it was false, finding the balance in his voice and with that melancholy and rhythm.  I ended up spending more time with each of these real people than I had ever done before. I didn’t really know that much about any of them other than being a fan of David Bowie’s music or maybe seeing a Dick Cavett interview. It was very educational, and I found myself becoming very moved by David’s desire to be so specifically who he was and to be allowed to be who he was. He was an anarchist in a way.
