“I remember my dad sitting me down when he heard it’s what I’d decided to do. He was very concerned and told me only five per cent of actors are working at any given time and I should learn word processing because computers were going to change things a lot and I would have a skill to fall back on. Which is brilliant, but what he didn’t know was that my brain just doesn’t work that way.” — Gillian Anderson (x)
“Screw the odds! People die of the hiccups. My mother died of the hiccups. Survival rate for that is what… 100 percent? The odds are that she should be alive right now. The odds are… The odds are crap! So people should face it and they should fight.”
