    • Annabeth Gish: I think of myself as an actor. I'm pretty low on the celebrity radar. [Laughs.] I just really like to work.
    • Annabeth Gish: I think most people who act and are intelligent tend to divert their talent into writing or directing or something else because it gets so frustrating when you have to be told when you can and cannot work.
    • Annabeth Gish: (on becoming a writer, producer, or director) Like a whole toolbox, it's just there. So it's a matter of me having the courage to do it.
    • Annabeth Gish: As an actor you have a tendency to try to please people and that is tripled by the nature of the business. It's so easy to get lost.

    • Annabeth: (on her character in Brotherhood) Best qualities are her loyalty (mishandled as it may be), her love for her children (again, flawed and misguided at times), and her willingness/desire to expand outside of her small, contained self.

    • Annabeth Gish: (about what inspired her to become an actress) I try to track that myself, and it's very odd. It just seems that I've always wanted to do it, even before I knew what it meant. My third grade teacher still has a paper from when I was learning to write...you remember that gray paper with the thick red lines? I wrote, "I want to be a movie star.
    • Annabeth Gish: (recalling her entry into the world of The X-Files) It was an unknown crew, I didn't know anyone, and I had to run down a hill yelling 'Stop! I'm a federal agent!' It was quite the introduction to The X-Files. I was very nervous. I remember being very determined to do a good job on this show because I have such respect for what it is.
