"Putting oneself out there in the world is a really scary thing. And what I have learned over the years is that by doing it anyway… that I have survived those things. I thought I would die. I haven’t die. You know, I thought I would fail. I haven’t failed. My version of fail can come in many different ways, but the fact that I’ve shown myself, that I can show up and do things, has taught me the next time I wanna show up and do things, that I can and I have been able to do it."

“I once had to say this on a show many years ago, and I truly believe it: Loneliness is a choice. I like to be alone; I’m more comfortable alone. But I do recognize that I take it too far sometimes and so I try to force myself to keep up with being sociable. I just am a bit of a lone ranger; I always have been. But I don’t believe that necessarily has to translate to being lonely. You can be lonely in a crowd of a thousand people. I can be in a hotel room on my own and not feel lonely. It all comes down to how comfortable you are with who you are in the silence.” ~ Gillian Anderson
