The actress, who reprises the role in the upcoming film The X-Files: I Want to Believe, told Reuters that she has consciously taken acting jobs to distance herself from the character.
She explained: "Nine years is a long time when you are doing something every single day and I didn't get into this business to play Scully. My goal was to do as wide a range of things as possible."
Anderson added that it may be impossible to shake off Scully completely.
She said: "I don't know, we'll see. I've tried pretty hard over the last few years and done a slew of different things. It's always something that's going to be the first on the list in terms of things that people refer to, and that's just the truth."
The X-Files: I Want to Believe opens in the UK on August 1.
