“I wouldn’t say I’m normal. But I’m relatively stable. When I think of normal, I think of mediocrity, and mediocrity scares the fuck out of me.”

”I have feminist bones and when I hear things or see people react to women in certain ways I have very little tolerance.”

“I love it when women come up to me and tell me I'm a positive influence on their lives and the lives of their young daughters. That's a great feeling.”

“I like women a lot and I champion them, I tell people when they are beautiful, I tell other actresses when I think their work is amazing… So I think women feel relatively comfortable in my presence.”

“I’m surprised that more [interviewers] haven’t brought that up because it’s the truth.. Especially in this climate of women talking about the reality of [unequal pay] in this business, I think it’s important that it gets heard and voiced. It was shocking to me, given all the work that I had done in the past to get us to be paid fairly. I worked really hard toward that and finally got somewhere with it. Even in interviews in the last few years, people have said to me, ‘I can’t believe that happened, how did you feel about it, that is insane.’ And my response always was, ‘That was then, this is now.’ And then it happened again! I don’t even know what to say about it. It is.. sad. It is sad.” — Gillian Anderson (on being offered half David Duchovny’s pay for ‘The X-Files’ Revival)
