Quotes by Gillian Anderson

“Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.”

“Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.”

“I truly believe that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us and create the life we want to live. I have seen it happen time and time again.”

“Youre only given as much as you can handle at any given time. Whether its true or not, it gives you the strength.”

“So much of this world is based on illusion, temporariness, and disposability that I think its essential that our closest relationships reflect what is real.”

“People generally treat me like Im very intelligent and really, Im much less intelligent than she is. Scully is insanely intelligent.”

“My whole belief system is that our paths are drawn for us. I believe in reincarnation. I believe were here to learn and grow. We choose how we come into this life based on what it is we have to learn. Some people have harder lessons than others.”

“I am more spontaneous than my character...”

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

“Lets practice what we preach, and with the acceptance that we expect from others, lets stop being so damn judgmental and crucifying everyone who doesnt fit in to our boxed-in perception of what is right.”

Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.

I guess I would say: above anything else, stay true to yourself. Whether that means for you that you like to have blue hair, or you don’t like to drink, or you are attracted to the same sex, or you want to remove yourself from Facebook, or you’ve got 3 different kids from 3 different dads but you know you’re a really good mom, or you cry for a week because your turtle died. Whatever your truth is, stay true to yourself. But be a good person while you’re at it.

When I think of normality I think of mediocrity

I truly beleive that we can overcome any hurdle that lies before us.

I know people who are embarrassed to be American. They dont like showing their passports. Its becoming a scary place. It takes someone very brave not to be quiet, someone who doesnt mind death threats, their life being turned upside down, news cameras outside their door. There is no freedom of speech in America anymore. They are not living up to the constitution. Theres so much fear in America and control.

I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.

Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.
