Actress Gillian Anderson says her 18-year-old daughter Piper Maru can't believe her mother has turned down big roles in the past to focus on her family.

When asked whether she has turned down parts because of family commitments, Anderson told Stylist magazine: "Yes, but also because I don't like the roles very much. Not that they're not good!"

"Whether it's 'Game of Thrones' or 'Downton Abbey', my 18-year-old daughter cannot believe I've turned down things she loves. But with a four and six-year-old, I can't justify spending that kind of time away from home, unless I'm working with (Martin) Scorsese'," contactmusic.com quoted the 44-year-old as saying.
