Part of me wishes I could control it but I can't. "I just slip into one or the other. When I moved to the States I tried to cling on to my British accent because it made different."The 'X-Files' star insists she is glad that she has lived in several different cities because it has made her a more rounded person.She explained: "I moved a lot for university and work but I never thought it was a negative thing."I thought how lucky I was to have had formative years growing up in London. A lot of Americans never set foot outside America. It can be an inward-looking country."

I love Gillian's acting. Her ability of speaking in different acctents, makes her a well rounded actor. She can portray modern and period characters. And she can play american and british characters.
