Men’s Journal Interview with Gillian Anderson February Issue

We know scrolling social media makes us feel bad, but we can’t stop doing it.

Everything out there is going to look better than where one is. I’m posting a picture on Instagram of me smiling on set on The X-Files, but that’s not an indication of anything. That doesn’t even mean I’m happy. Who knows what’s going on at home in London: how much I’m missing my children, whether one of them is sick, how powerless I feel in that, or what’s happening on set. None of it is an indication of anything real.

I think a lot of people feel that way about social media, but we assume that celebrities don’t, because your lives are awesome.

There are some very, very unhappy wealthy people out there.

You’ve been in the public eye for a long time, but what’s something most people still don’t know about you?

If I get nervous during interviews, it looks like I’m not enjoying myself, like I’m very serious and grumpy. And I am those things, but most of the time I’m also really silly, really goofy, and really clumsy. I’m not one or two things—I’m 25 things.
