mxdwn: What do you hold for the future of the X-Files in this season and beyond especially now that Gillian Anderson has said she is leaving the show?
DD: I have never really thought of the future in that way. When I originally left the television show, I thought that we were just going to continue on and do movies, I never wanted the show to end. The movie arena for the show dried up, and I just thought it was the end, but then cable came along and the shortened season kind of came over to network television. It was something I knew that we could do in a shortened version of the show. I’ve been surprised all along the way. I have no idea what form it takes. Do we get to do a movie? And then who wants to do the movie? I’d rather look at these 10 episodes as really good television and not think that it’s the end because we certainly didn’t shoot it like it was the end.
Do you find the music is helping you reconcile to reconcile a moment in your life? There is a lot of self-reflection on this record.
Well, I think that’s what music has been to me. I came to playing guitar and writing song pretty late – so I’m not going to write songs that a 20-years-old writes. I could try but it would be obscene and horrific.
