If My Work Was Good Enough, I Would Never Have To Do Publicity.

What I Liked About Mulder Was His Quality Of Not Caring What Other People Thought Of Him. He Was Very Independent. He Wasn't Interested In Women. I Liked That. He Had Kind Of An Intellectual Quest, But Not A Sexual Quest. That Was The Challenge Of Mulder. Here Was A Guy That Got Almost Sexually Excited About Aliens. And I Wanted To Be Able To Do That!

I Feel I Have To Work Hard To Nurture Whatever Talent I Have As An Actor. I Feel Like It's Not Natural To Me. So I Don't Take It For Granted... What I Think Is My Natural Ability - Which Is Writing - I Think I Totally Take That For Granted.

It's Almost Obscene When You See People Who Haven't Matured, Who Haven't Changed, Who Don't Have The Weight Of Years On Them. So That's Interesting To Me - To Think About Playing Him Into The Future, Anew.

I Look Back The Old Old Ones [x-files Series], From The Beginning, And I'm Kind Of Mortified By My Acting! But I'm Kind Of Impressed By My Enthusiasm. I'm Just Thankful That I Got To Become Better At What I Did, And That We Didn't Get Cancelled In The First Year.
