<\/p>\n

Gillian Anderson suffers panic attacks when on the stage. <\/p>\n

The ‘X Files’ actress – who has previously appeared in ‘The Vagina Monologues’ and ‘A Doll’s House’ in London’s West End – is keen to return to the theatre but finds the experience terrifying.<\/p>\n

She said: “I’m constantly thinking about doing more theatre, particularly when I see a good play. <\/p>\n

“I have a couple of ideas but I like to wait two years between parts because that’s all I can handle. <\/p>\n

“I have to park my fear. I find it absolutely terrifying, have panic attacks and wonder why the hell I’m doing it. It’s almost as if you’re never left off the hook: panic lingers over my shoulder.” <\/p>\n

Despite her fears, the 42-year-old actress is happy to do it because she thinks is no better feeling when the job is done well.<\/p>\n

She said: “There’s nothing like it. I can walk on a stage and I feel so emotional I start crying. <\/p>\n

“I don’t know why. It’s not ego. It feels like the antithesis. Ego is squashed all the time. But I’ve ever been worried what people think of me. Well, I don’t think I have.” <\/p>\n
