Scully Speaks

I hadn't said anything about those purported comments that Gillian Anderson made about hating TV the other week because really, whatever, I was a late fan to The X-Files and honestly have grown to like her since the show ended - Bleak House! - more than I was attached to her as Scully, but I figured I'd link to her response to said quotes that reminds me why I do like her anyway. Sayeth the Gillian at her blog:

"Did I hate it? At times yes.

Did I love it? At times yes.

Did I regret it or do I regret it now? Not for a second.

Did David and I hate each other? At times yes like any brother and sister, husband and wife, co-worker and co-worker forced to spend that much time together under such strenuous circumstances.

Do we hate each other now? Not in the least.

Do I imagine that when we do the film together we won't hate each other for a few hours during the filming? No. We will. Vehemently. As David waits patiently, again and again for the hair dryer to calm my frizzy hair between takes so it matches the beginning of the scene... he will undoubtedly be thinking "what the hell was I thinking agreeing to shoot with her f****** frizzy hair again?"

But we will also love each other and laugh with each other and pull pranks on each other and bug each other like we did for nine years.

And that's that."

She seems smart, and ornery, and honest. I think Duchovny would get on my nerves too. And I'll be one of the first people in line if the second X-Files movie ever gets made, especially if they stay true to their non-mythology, straight-forward horror story claims.

ETA Strange Culture talked a bit about the Anderson vs. Duchovny thing this week as well. Great minds, and all...
