"X-Files" star Gillian Anderson is a firm believer in fate.

"My whole belief system is that our paths are drawn for us," Anderson says in Movie-line magazine."I believe in reincarnation. I believe we're here to learn and grow. . . . We choose how we come into this life based on what it is we have to learn. Some people have harder lessons than others."

Anderson is much more open in real life than her TV character, skeptical FBI agent Dana Scully, especially regarding her inner life.

"I've been in psychotherapy steadily since I was 14." Anderson said.
