First of all I just want to say thank you for being such an amazing person. You are such an incredible role model both as the strong characters you play and in reality. I appreciate how down to earth you are as a celebrity and as a human in general and how aware and involved you seem to be in current issues of the world.

Anyway, my question: You were so successful as Scully and the role brought you so much fame. You were one of the major cultural icons of the 90s when you were very young. Now that you are involved in so many different roles (actress, screenwriter, director, author, etc) do you view right now as the peak of your career? Do you think the peak is still to come? What do you think about your career trajectory in the future? I think that anybody could have said while the X-Files was airing that that would be the peak of your career because how could you possibly go beyond Scully, but obviously now that'd be totally wrong. You are so talented and are really showing the true breadth of your creative abilities. I hope that you're as proud of yourself as your fans are, and I hope you realize what and inspiration you've been to so many people, myself included.

Thank you for giving me a reason to live

Thank you for your reply. This has honestly made my week. I am also interested to know how you've been balancing your family life with all of this stuff during this busy year.
