Actress Gillian Anderson loves being a single mother.

The 47-year-old, who has children Piper, 21, Oscar, nine and Felix, seven, from previous relationships, says she is "content" with her life, and she doesn't feel she needs a man to make her happy, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Well, yes, I am content. I don't feel anything is lacking in my life. I certainly don't sit on bar stools, pining. But the fact is I just haven't met anyone, and I don't know where people do meet people," Anderson told The Observer magazine.

"The thing is that there are needs and there are wants. I have a list of needs and I will not compromise about those. But aside from that...I don't meet anybody! It's not like I meet people, and they ask me out, and I say no.

 

"It's not even like I meet people and I don't give them enough attention. I just don't meet them at all. I'm either on a plane, or on set, or with my children. There have been people in my life who've tried to set me up, and if a friend said: 'I know someone amazing', I would show up. But here's the thing: I've got three children. It's a big ask," she added.
