Love Quote by David Duchovny

Mulder, in Duchovny's framing, isn’t a romantic lead so much as a man built out of suspicion. The line lands because it refuses the easy payoff of shipping and instead makes intimacy feel like a survival tactic. "Trusts any one other than Scully" sketches a protagonist whose default setting is isolation; the paranormal is almost secondary to the social reality that he has no durable faith in institutions, colleagues, or even himself. Trust becomes the real X-file.

Calling Mulder "very solitary" also retrofits the show’s central partnership as an emotional technology: Scully isn’t just a co-worker, she’s the mechanism that keeps him tethered to a world that constantly labels him unserious. "She is the only one who takes him seriously" is a subtle reversal of the series’ power dynamic. Yes, Mulder is the believer and Scully the skeptic, but she grants him legitimacy - and that legitimacy is its own kind of love, especially in a workplace designed to marginalize him.

Then Duchovny swerves: "I don’t know if they’re in love". That uncertainty is the point. The show’s cultural moment thrived on unresolved tension, but he’s arguing the bond is deeper than romance because it’s less elective. "They cannot live without each other" sounds melodramatic until you read it as mutual dependence formed under pressure: two people gaslit by bureaucracy, danger, and ridicule, choosing each other as a shared reality. It’s not hearts and flowers; it’s allegiance.
