Quotes
Those first 3 years of The X Files (1993) were special and very creative; winning an Emmy for the the work I did was unexpected but truly memorable. As the years went on, I think what happened at FOX was X-Files became Rupert Murdoch favorite show, so no one on the corporate level said "no" and the budget kept growing...
