- How do you feel about people coming from all over the world to see you considering show ended 20 yrs ago? Nick Lea & Mitch Pileggi: Lucky to be part of the show which is part of history. Amazing to be a part of something that lasts.

- Great to have a shorthand with Rob and Kim because we're all such great friends. They're like big kids. - Mitch Pileggi
- Nick's Fav directors - Kim Manners and Rob Bowman!
- X-Files didn't pander to any specific demographics, and that's what makes it great. - Nick Lea
