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.

Men’s Journal Interview (2018) – All About Gillian

Hey JHH! I haven’t been on tumblr in a few days and I come back and see post about Scully dying.. you don’t think CC would really kill Scully do you? That would just be devastating.

No, I really don’t think this is what’s gonna happen. Chris said he wanted to end on a cliffhanger, and how Scully dying would be cliffhanger? Then he said he that basically, as long as Gillian and David would be up to, he would still have stories to tell in the x-files. So i think he wants to leave the door open in case Gillian changes her mind. And finally, Scully doesn’t die. 

You go into an episode thinking you want it to be more intense. But then on the set you see David wants to improvise. And it wasn’t until we were on set that it hit me that we split them up in “Home Again,” and that was wrong. So I let them monkey around and do jokes and he’d come back and say, “Don’t cut them out!”

Glen Morgan about his episode “This” (x)

I’ve been defending DD a lot on here because I simply HATE to hear supposed fans trashing him.  Saying he’s selfish (again) and wants to keep making X Files because of money… or because he can’t find another acting job.  (Truth is he had so much fun being Mulder in S11, he wants to keep going.  For the joy of it.  He’s got plenty of $$.. c’mon people.)

In that face of that crap…  I LOVE hearing shit like this above.  The truth is,  Duchovny has been the best friend of MSR for a long time.  He wrote that incredible hallway scene in “Amor Fati” … he wrote “The Unnatural” .. he’s the one who danced with Gillian unscripted in “PMP” .. and he enjoys the romantic banter and sexual innuendo enough to beg Glen Morgan not to cut them out.   He’ll go with the scripts he’s given, whether M&S are broken up or together, but he still tries to bring in the romance.  And of course, HE’s the one who kept referring to Scully as Mulder’s WIFE – over and over, despite Chris Carter’s corrections.  I think he sees M&S now as a sort of Nick and Nora “The Thin Man’ couple – loving each other, man & wife solving crimes and kicking butt.  (Younger fans – google “Thin Man” movies from the ‘30s)
