Quote: "Mulder and Scully represent equal and competing parts of my nature...I guess I'm a natural skeptic, so I have much of the Scully character in me. Yet I'm still willing to take leaps of faith, to go out on a limb. I love writing for both of those characters--both their voices are very clear in my head--and I want to show the two sides of the issue; the doubter and the believer." --Cinescape, November 1994
