Gillian was just warming up... that should've been an hour.

[marthavillegas]

Every time I see her, she is more beautiful.

[EricRoss]

What a charming guest! She was clearly disappointed that their time was up. 🥺 Please have her back soon.

[thisismytake]

Give her more time! She’s delightful ❤

[kyriearashi]

I saw her at a convention panel and she is a riot when she gets going. She needs a podcast, honestly.

[MichaelWyattMDW]

"Are we done?" NOOO! Talk to Gillian for HOURS! She's so wonderful!!!

[carlwilson]

If you've ever been interviewed, Gillian's shocked "are we done?" here is so understandable - your mind is racing so much the whole time that 10 minutes can feel like a few seconds.

[jonbettson]

Please have her on once a month. That was fabulous

[asynchronicity]

I love how she hasn’t gone crazy with cosmetic surgery and still looks fab

[hippiedaze]

She was so cute at the end when she said "oh my God". I wish this interview was longer too, Gillian. 😭

[goyasolidar]

"Are we done?!"

This right here is why I so much prefer the talk show format of Graham Norton.

[AllThingsFilm]

I agree with Gillian Anderson. That was a short interview. Especially since it was the first in person interview with her. Please give her more air time next time.

[jamesdooling]

She's smart, funny, engaging... and an excellent actor. ❤

[JM-zkou]

I don't look as good on my best day as she looks in that photo. She's gorgeous.

[sazidhasankhan]

Gillian be like, "YOU CAME ALREADY???"

[CatJabZ]

Such a stunning lady! Loved her in X-files first and in Sex Education she created such an amazing character in Dr. Jean.

[mberker]

Gillian Anderson is an "underapriciated" National Treasure

[FortheBudgies]

I've never seen her interviewed and she's nothing like I expected! I already loved her and now even more.

[bookbwitched]

Just realized I had been smiling since Gillian reacted to the audience. My response to her interview is More, More & More.
What a delicious & frank interview! I remember the days of Women's Studies & Nancy Friday's books. How I loved that time of women sharing their mindsets, exploring their own sexuality & spiritual connections to each other.
Women connecting, telling their stories & discovering their own truths. Life shaping & ever changing as I saw life thru my daughter & then granddaughter's eyes.
How grateful I am for this memory.
My tattered, well annotated & underscored copies of Nancy Friday's books are stacked beside me. Years of self discovery. Where shall I begin? "My Mother, My Self", "Our Looks, Our Lives" or "Forbidden Flowers" or "Men In Love" or ...

[littleredhen]

You need to have her back at least for the Cobert Querstioier
