Gillian explains some details on her role of Media in American Gods, the way she prepared makeup for David Bowie, relationship between Old and New Gods, but also her connection with god, her point of view with the media, Sci-Fi, fashion and road trips. Of course, one part of the interview for Emanuel Levy was focused on The X-Files. This is the excerpt.
"I actually don’t know, we know
absolutely nothing, we have been working on the deal for many months and
it’s really us taking an opportunity to maybe bring closure. I didn’t
really feel like the end of the last season was a place for us to finish
definitely. There was a lot of consideration about whether there
really was an audience for it, whether it was something that we could
improve on and how if we were moving forward, could make them even
better. In the end, we agreed that we would like to have one more go at
it.
We
know that the fans are still there. The surprising thing was that
there are new fans. There’s a whole other generation of fans who
discovered it through Netflix and I think to be met still by 13 years
olds who are talking about how they have seen all the episodes or they
just start watching a year ago and they obsess and they can’t wait for
the new season. The show has a longevity beyond what we had ever
imagined."
