Gillian Anderson: Could not Control Her accent
Gillian Anderson was born in Chicago but she grew up in London. She admits that she finds it bizarre that her dialect switches rapidly from British to American without her intending to.
She said: "Even on the phone my accent will change. 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 also explained that she has moved a lot for university and work but she 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."
