She thinks you can be powerful, but feminine at the same time “I’m masculine, so to speak, in the way that I am in my life, but that I can embrace that co-existing other part of myself, and it doesn’t mean that I’m conforming to long-standing notions of how women should and shouldn’t be, or dress.”

But whatever she wears, she always oozes sophistication and strength

She’s suffered from anxiety, and pushed through “[I’m] not sure exactly when low-grade anxiety started in my life. I do recall that waking up with a sense of panic became an everyday occurrence in college and the fully fledged attacks started when pregnant with my first child.”

She fought for equal pay on the X-Files Last year, she addressed the gender pay gap by speaking out about the fact she was offered “half of what they wanted to offer” co-star David Duchovny to participate in the X-Files reboot. “I think it’s important that it gets heard and voiced. It was shocking to me, given all the work that I had done in the past to get us to be paid fairly. I worked really hard toward that and finally got somewhere with it,” she told the Hollywood Reporter.

She firmly believes in female solidarity “We all have similar experiences, stresses and concerns about where to put our focus… and yet we’re working so hard individually, separately, in our own worlds. So can we not hold hands and become a community that understands that these are things we all struggle with, and find a way to help each other?”

She admits to finding parenting hard “Even when I do the ‘right thing’ and get down on the floor to play Lego, my kids can sense that it’s not the easiest thing for me.”

She went to the women’s march and has been vocal about supporting planned parenthood

Despite her success as an actress, she admits she gets nervous about public speaking “I’m often asked to speak about things that are intrinsically very important to me, yet there’s a part of me that always wants to say no.”

She speaks out about mental illness

She supports you and your decisions about motherhood “It should be okay for women to make the decision that they’re deciding to give up work to go and be with their children, and that whatever becomes important to you, can be okay to talk about. Any version of oneself is valuable and valid.”

X-Files fans always get hype af about Mulder’s photographic memory but Scully heard less than a bar of music & bitch knew it was Bach.

so many of the most iconic images from ‘the x-files’ feature nothing more or less than mulder or scully–or mulder & scully–viewed from behind as they study something extraordinary: an event that will change them, a place with potential, a phenomenon that cannot be explained. it’s such a thematically significant composition that it just about sums up the entirety of the show: the importance of searching (did you find what you were looking for? / no, but i found something i thought i’d lost: faith to keep looking); the importance of witnessing (why do you doubt yourself? / because my partner didn’t see them); and the importance of facing what comes (how can I see the future if it didn’t already exist? / then if the future is written, then why bother to do anything). for a brief moment we are voyeurs, watching these characters as the conspirators who threaten them do. they are outlined against the impossible, but they refuse to let it remain a nameless enigma… and that is the danger they pose.

Sooooo a few months ago I decided to put up a masking tape X on my bedroom window because I’m a nerd like that.

Today, I came home to this ominous envelope and message…

ILY = I love you

ILYSM = I love you so much

BYSMADAAFAIBSYGSRASHSMATTOYKMHYMMAWPIOYESAYOMNIDKIIWDTAIDEKIICAIIQNTW =  But you saved me. As difficult and as frustrating as it’s been sometimes, your goddamned strict rationalism and science have saved me a thousand times over. You’ve kept me honest. You’ve made me a whole person. I owe you everything, Scully, and you owe me nothing. I don’t know if I wanna do this alone… I don’t even know if I can … and if I quit now, they win.
