How has your relationship with Gillian Anderson changed?

“It is deeper because of all those years that have passed. The respect and trust we feel towards each other are obvious! I think we are also both better actors today!” 

David Duchovny Interview ( written in French) (X)

@justholdinghandsok is the translation correct? 🙈😊

It’s perfect! 👌

David Duchovny (X-Files) : « We never lost hopes »

Télé 2 semaines : what does it feel like to be Mulder again after all those years?

David Duchovny : 

It’s as if I was weld to Gillian and Chris again. Mulder never really left me. Even if at some point, in my life, in my career, I really wanted to go away from him.

Why ?

I was scared this role would never allow me to play something else, that everyone would see me as that guy who played that role! Now, in hindsight, I can only be grateful for Fox Mulder. Let me add that I’ve never feel like I was far away from him because people kept talking to me about this show! You know, there’s never been a period when people didn’t stop me in the street to tell me how much X-Files had a strong impact in their lives. 

What did you feel the first day of filming?

We were a little bit rusty, to be honest. I hate those sensations. And Chris asked me to learn one of the monologue he loves to write! Like about gravitation electro-gravitational, for example. It wasn’t easy to plug my brain on those kind of things again, but I’ve found out a long time ago that I could say a bunch of nonsenses. That all of those scentific-ish dialogues didn’t really mean anything. As long as you use complicated words, that you tell them fast and you look serious, people will buy anything! (laugh)

Did you think X-Files would come back ?

With Gillian and Chris, we’ve never lost either contact, nor hopes. We used to have millions of idea when we were shooting back then. We hoped we could film a movie every four or five years! Just like James Bond or Star Trek.
