Quote

My whole life, Ive wanted things before I was ready. I was always pushing for the next job, the next success. I was so focused on achieving and the path that I was missing some great point about life.

I love Doctor Who and I remember the first one, which was wonderful in its low-tech quality. I also loved the theme song, which sounded like The Cure to me. Which character would I like to play in Doctor Who? Who's the bad guy? The Dalek? OK, I'll play him.

I enjoy trying to figure out the best way to compliment the picture and not overpower it.

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.

What makes me mad is arrogance, pretension, putting on airs.

Sex is great until you die, but it's never as great as it was when you were a kid, when it was a mystery.

It seems unlikely that we're alone in the universe. But I'm pretty sure nobody's hiding any contact.

There is never a personal-life connection between my characters and myself. I'm a professional and I can access what I need to access, so there's no bleed-over. I didn't need to believe in aliens to play Mulder. As for my personal life, everything is fantastic right now.

I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter.

I'm not reading currently because I'm getting revisions of a novel. If I read while I'm writing I will unconsciously plagiarize and go to jail.

Patrick Stewart was the first internet sex symbol without hair but pileggi always thought it was him.

Our human nature is exactly the same as it was 500 years ago, let alone five years ago.

Chemistry is really about two people who like to act together, I think. It's like tennis in the most cliched way. It's like if you hit the ball, they hit the ball back, and they don't hit it into the stands, and they don't put the ball in their pocket and walk off - and they don't argue with the umpire, you know?

We all know people for that length of time and people change. They mature. There is a certain expectation that a fictional character does not change. But you can't go back and play him the same way.

I wouldn't say we were doing that. I think we probably stopped thinking. Though it took a while to stop thinking.

I really enjoy taking an outdoor shower.

A bath tub, apparently, was the first thing I wanted to be.

In this age of media and Internet access, we are much more talkative than ever before.

I don't know if [Samuel] Beckett is something you ever bring to the beach - get out of the water, towel off, and start reading some of The Unnamable. Although, because it's the kind of book you can open to any page and start reading, it is beach reading in that way.

Usually, when I act, I try to forget the words and let them come, and just find my way through them.

Fame does lead to money, which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it, I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it, because I grew up without it.
