People generally treat me like I'm very intelligent and really, I'm much less intelligent than she is. Scully is insanely intelligent.

You're only given as much as you can handle at any given time. Whether it's true or not, it gives you the strength.

Sometimes I struggle to watch stuff that I've done and sometimes I don't, and I'm sure that my judgment is based on whether I feel like I accomplished what I set out to accomplish.

When I'm inside the character, I feel like I'm a different person, and then when you see that character on screen and I see that it's me, I find that disappointing.

It's taken a while for me to convince people that I can do something other than Scully. And it still takes effort.

Layers are not difficult for me. You have the luxury of takes, so if you feel like, say, you did not take in the fact that your aunt is across the way in one take, you do it again and try to add that piece.

When the show's not around any more, it's going to be hard not to have her in my life.
