Gillian Anderson's 1997 Golden Globes Acceptance Speech

"Um, I want to thank my daughter Piper, I want to thank the writers John Shiban, Frank Spotnitz, Vince Gilligan, Howard Gordon the executive producer. Most of all I'd like to thank the mother of all creators, Chris Carter [applause], for having the foresight and sensibility to create, to introduce into our lives a character, a woman who is strong, intelligent, equal oppourtunity, employed, and um, she has had a profound impact on women, young and not so young, around the world, because of these characteristics, and I thank you for that - and many other people do too, I'm sure. Thank you for allowing me to have the oppourtunity to spend this time with her, and for being a component of this amazing, magical, historical odyssey that you have created. Thank you."
