You Can't Always Get What You Want
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
not only was something that I listened to [and] cried a lot in the trailer going through hair and makeup in the wee hours of the morning, and we would blast it in there as we were getting ready while we were shooting the series. But also, the irony of the fact that at times when there were other things that I wanted, whether it was about my career or in things in my personal life that I thought I had to have or I wanted, that at the end of the day ... You can't always get what you want.
a Joan Armentrating song that was very alive in my life as a child, and this has always been one of my favorite songs of hers.
a band that um just over the past few years ... has become probably my favorite band. There's an energy to their music which has its roots inside my rumblings
This is a song that's always been very profoundly moving for me. ... first of all, her voice is just, it's such a remarkable and moving instrument that she had.
String Quartet No. 14 in D Minor, D. 810, "Death and the Maiden"
a Schubert piece that I have loved for many years that just moves me to tears and that's a good enough reason to have it on a desert island with me where I need to be crying alone.
The title of it is Love is Everything, because I I believe that Love is Everything. At the end of the day, if we're talking about the difference between being sucked under and being able to rise above, this concept certainly comes into play very, very strongly.

one of my favorite artists of all time, Jeff Buckley.
In conversation
Presenter asks
0:57Was your casting as Agent Scully in the X-Files entirely an act of faith on the part of its creator, Chris Carter?
That's correct. No. At at the time it was he was going against form and really stuck his neck out for me, but based on his determination to have the character portrayed in the way that he saw her and not in the way that Hollywood wanted her to be.
Presenter asks
2:30Did you have any idea what you were getting yourself in for when you got the job?
I had no clue what I was not only what I was getting myself in for, but what I was actually doing. I mean, I was going in for an audition for a television pilot. I didn't even know what pilots were. I knew absolutely nothing.
Presenter asks
15:21Did you go into therapy at fourteen because you had got into drugs, alcohol, or promiscuity?
Many, many dangerous things. And I needed um I needed help. So that that's where it began.

and it basically speaks to how happiness can only be found. In This Moment.
Presenter asks
Did success on the X-Files bring you any kind of calm or happiness?
The answer is no. ... Success has nothing to do with happiness. Success has nothing to do with ridding oneself of one's demons.
Presenter asks
19:22How did you manage to cling on at theatre school in Chicago?
we just we studied acting. I mean we studied it was a c at theatre conservatory at the Goodman Theatre School in Chicago and we did productions and we did you know movement classes, voice classes. ... But you felt you were in the right place. It was a fit.
“The whole media thing, the whole television thing, that's all it just it cheapens one's life.”
“Success has nothing to do with happiness. Success has nothing to do with ridding oneself of one's demons.”
“I have such huge amount of of respect and appreciation for people who are survivors, who who succeed, who against all odds Press on through.”
