Somehow a rumor got started that Gillian Anderson had ruled out involvement in any future X-Files project. Well, she felt compelled to address this rumor and those gossip hound(s) that started it at her blog:
I want to address the recent confusion around whether or not I enjoyed working on the X-Files… I don’t even know where to begin but I need to keep it short and with my claws in…
The series went on for a long time – longer than any of us had anticipated or some of us had wished. It was the hardest work I will ever do in my life. I hope for the sake of my children and my sanity that I never have to work that hard again.
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.
The claws are in… but ready.
So Gillian Anderson doesn’t hate David Duchovny or the X-Files. And she’s doing another film with Duchovny. In this context I have to think she means a new X-Files movie!
