Whatever.
David Duchovny in "Projection
Privée"
DD: Part of the success of the show is
due to the fact that Mulder is a real person, an ordinary man--he's not a
super hero. He loses most of his fights, his loses his gun, he always gets
beaten up, and in five years, he's never solved a case! He makes the FBI
spend millions of dollars for nothing.
[Clip from the movie--scene in the hallway with Mulder and Skinner, then,
Mulder and Scully]
DD: The X-Files is a spiritual show in
which there are a lot of things other than physical, things that we're not
used to seeing on other shows, because they are more down-to-earth--in these
shows, our world is the beginning and the end of everything. But people seem
to be interested in angels and spiritual stuff, and not only institutions
such as religions--people believe in things that are not physically
representative. In the series, even if everything is scary, and if most
phenomenons are made to hurt us, or kill us, we keep believing in something
else, something we can't identify or finger.

LW: As a human being, do you believe
in something?
DD: Yes, but not like in the show--the
show is too literal. I believe in spirit. I believe there's more energy in
us than only in our bodies. But I don't believe in a man who slept for 50
years and woke up to eat 6 human livers! (laughs).
