Dear Gillian Anderson,

You are an incredible actress and a wonderful humanitarian. I have seen your whole body of work (multiple times) and I can’t begin to stress how big of a fan I am—Lady Dedlock, Miss Havisham, Dana Fielding, Lily Bart(!), and, of course, Scully and now Stella. I am very much looking forward to your next play. I am so excited to see you as Blanche DuBois(!!). Writing to you is very humbling..

Anyway! Here is one question I have for you:

In the past (here on reddit), you have said that you plan everything out. That you’re either “doing” or are “paralyzed” and unable to get out of bed. I am usually the latter, paralyzed in thought, finding it hard to get up and do. You do SO much and on top of that you are a mother. I want what you had for breakfast. If it’s not too personal, I wanted to know where this fire comes from and what motivates and helps you stick to your plans/schedule. Basically I am interested to know what drives you to keep “doing.” If that is too big of a question, my back-up question is: What are the next five goals on your to-do list?

Again, I admire you and think you are one of the very best actors around. I hope this note gets to you and I wish you the best in everything. I can’t wait to see your next performance.

All the best xo, Alexandria
