People always talked about how gruelling the schedule on the X-Files was.

Did you feel the process was more exhausting on the x-files set than on any other show or were all the shows back then were too much work due to the 20something episodes per season ?

That's so interesting, thanks for the AMA! Can you remember any other thing that a child could do in order to protect himself from being abused?

What other characteristics do the abusers hate in potential victims?

Who do you think is the most successful case of brainwashing? Which technique would you say is the least successful?

Would you call what happened in Guantanamo brainwashing ? Or just torture? Who was brainwashed : the prisoners or the soldiers that held them captive?

Hi, thanks for the AMA:

Why did you feel you had to stop being in the CIA in order to be a mom?

Have you ever been asked to do something ilegal by the agency? If yes, could you have refused the assignment?

Did the CIA have to read your book before you could publish it?

What made you choose undercover work instead of working behind a desk? Which personal qualities would you say helped you in your undercover work?

Hi, I've never been someone who dreams a lot (or maybe I just don't remember them most of the time) Do you have any idea why?

Another thing that haunts me: I'm a student, after finals' or midterm's week, when I get some time to rest my brain, I get dreams or nightmares. I've come to associate them with boredom: my brain was going 100 mph and then gets bored by normal life. Does that sound like a plausible explanation?
