She imprints her intelligence and humor on everything, and her performances feel improvised, wild.
No matter how good the other actors were opposite her, they appeared stiff and amateurish in her orbit.
How lucky to be a series of words traveling through her mind and her body. A fantastic voyage, indeed! | Tennessee Williams on Meryl Streep

“She’s a funny creature, Gillian Anderson. I warm to her for various reasons. She’s got a nice line in non sequiturs. She’s un-grand. She’s wearing an eccentric pair of white patent leather heels, a tatty old pair of combat trousers and a violet jersey. She swears brilliantly. She gets excited when a waiter carries a tray of puddings past, and races off to feed the parking meter so she can have the lemon tart brulee (‘and please get the sticky toffee pudding’). She doesn’t have a watch. She’s capable, even on a day like today, of moments of almost painful candour. Last but not least, I like her because when the interview is over, she will say goodbye and attempt to leave the restaurant not through the door, but through one of the plate-glass windows. She is, I think, not altogether cool.” (x)

“I’ve always kind of run to the beat of a different drum. And I have felt what it feels like not to be myself. But from my experience and what I’ve observed, the level of pain and hardship is equal to the good. That’s the only way we can be grateful and move forward through the dark times. I have no regrets, you know. I’m as grateful for the pain as I am the times of bliss.”
