"Q- learned any other interesting things about yourself from reading the papers?
GA- A pet name which I had completely forgotten about until I saw it in the tabloids. In a relationship I was in while I was in High School, my boyfriend called me Grae.
Q- where do you think that came from?
GA- I have no idea. What's funny is, emotionally I went from gray to black to white. Gray was London, where we lived until I was 11. And the black thing was high school in Grand Rapids, MI. That's when I became a punk, but there was a whole summer before, when I wore sweaters and jeans and an olive-drab army jacket, and it was almost as if I'd trained my body not to sweat. And white has been the last couple of years.
Q- There was a punk scene in Grand Rapids?
GA- it was small - for a while, my boyfriend and I was like the couple in the Grand Rapids underground scene. It spread to Kalamazoo MI, which is close by, where underground bands go to play. And we'd see people like Butthole Surfers and Circle Jerks there. "
"A quick tally of sites turns up more than 500 dedicated to the show, with nearly 80 devoted exclusively to Anderson's character, special agent Dana Scully. The breadth of these tributes is breathtaking. Where else can you read reminiscences from Anderson's old high school and college friends "...
GA says, "Once in a while I will pull out a tape from the past and listen to it.... I do [get the urge to join a crowd] once in a while when I'm seeing a band play. It's like letting go of stress. It's letting go of aggression. It's like using a punching bag in a sense, just that feeling of release—the sway and energy. It's very fulfilling and you get to unite and move against the crowd at the same time, which is very intriguing."
