It was really fun to see you, it seemed like you guys were different in your relationship than you had been in the past, and I just wondered if between you and your 90 closest fans you could elaborate?
"Well, I can say that we are definitely closer than, um, than we were back then. And I think a lot of that is due to, you know, time, and growing up a bit more and, um, appreciation for the experience that we had. And um, the connection that we have. We have a connection not just in the fact that we experienced that together, but we have, as two human beings, we have a connection and a camaraderie and a dynamic between the two of us that is also unique to me than in any other relationship that I have in my life. You know, there’s an intimacy there that is, um, um, it only exists there, in that particular way. And so, um, it’s cool to see him and you know, I think if we saw each other all the time, it might be a different story. But we see each other on rare and pleasant occasions and um, and it’s nice, it’s a great relationship and I am very fond of it and him.”
Looking back, what advice would you give yourself and David during The X-Files?
"I would probably say, um, to honor the experience. You know? To take a step back, and um, and hold it with the respect and appreciation that it deserved. Despite the pain in the ass of it, and all the other stuff that just happens in the crazy one-hour drama with two leads. Just to, you know, to take — to hold it. And um, AND to know that we were literally the only two people we could potentially talk to about our experience. We had that opportunity then to become.. [inaudible, applause, she almost falls off something]… you know, to really use each other! For support, and mutual understanding, and compassion, and all that kind of stuff. And that didn’t happen so much, you know… I think we were just under the weight of it. And um. Yeah."
