Quotable Quotes
"Marita and Krycek were definitely involved. They definitely had a lot of history together. I think they both pulled one over on the other at different points, so - bit of a love-hate relationship, Marita and Krycek. Many secrets." -- Laurie Holden on the set of the finale, April 2002. "Supporting characters add depth to a story, and great actors leave their imprint with the audience." -- Nicholas Lea, presenting the Outstanding Performance By An Actor In A Supporting Role at the 2002 Genie Awards, February 7, 2002. "I think Marita's had her run. I feel like she had a graceful, great exit." -- Laurie Holden in TV Guide Online, December 2001. "The kiss between Krycek and Marita in Patient X was the first time an affectionate love scene was physically depicted in the show. I wanted it to be a kind of low passion. Nick (Nicholas) Lea and Laurie Holden were a little timid about it. I said, 'Listen guys, you just have to go for it here.' We had to do several takes, until they got to know each other. They finally went for it. If the actors are shy, it doesn't work." -- Kim Manners, X Files Director, as reported in an online interview. "If only next season could be the Alex and Marita show; these two lusty, conniving rogues would inject a jolt of electricity, mischieviousness and sly fun into an exhausted show that's been running on fumes for far too long." -- Paula Vitaris, Seventh Season Guide, Cinescape Magazine, October 2000. From her mouth to God's ears. "She's very pretty, but no." -- Jim Carrey on romancing Laurie Holden, TIME magazine, June 2001. "I was excited about [kissing Marita] because you'd never seen that side of the character before - he was almost asexual in those terms...the night before, [Laurie and I] were saying, 'Should we kiss now and get it over with, to break the ice?'" -- Nick Lea on kissing Marita, Dreamwatch Magazine, June 1998. "Laurie Holden is like a classic movie star. She's smoky, dangerous, sexy, and has so much in reserve." -- David Duchovny on Laurie Holden, Cinescape Magazine, October 1999. "I'm in full denial about Krycek...He's my partner in crime! He can't be dead!" -- Laurie Holden, Entertainment Weekly, June 29-July 6, 2001. "Everything has an end. I felt that K wasn't getting a fair shake anyway. It's not that fun to just play a villain, without any reasoning behind it. I wanted more in depth ideas about the character and it never came." -- Nicholas Lea on playing Krycek, Nicklea.com message boards, May 2001. "Throughout the course of this mythology, you've seen this cold, calculated, emotionless, private woman, and in this two-parter, you see her vulnerable, exposed, bare, raw, beaten. It's shocking. I shrieked in glee when I saw the script." -- Laurie Holden on One Son, original source unknown. "I think everyone has some fascination with what's outside our existence. It's a constant journey to find the truth." -- Nick Lea on viewer fascination with The X Files, Inside The X Files special. "The biggest surprise probably ever for me in reading a script was with it - that Marita Covarrubias and I were having some kind of a sexual relationship; and I really enjoyed shooting that scene because it was written in a particular way, and I always had felt that it could be improved somewhat, just in terms of making it a little more aggressive. The way it was written originally was that we see each other and you think we're going to kill each other, and then she smiles and I smile and I grab her and I kiss her; and I said well wouldn't it be better if I grabbed her and I threw her up against a wall, and you didn't know whether I was going to kill her or rape her or - or what was going to happen, and then I threw her up against the wall and *then* I kiss her. And it - it was great, 'cause I suggested the camera move, which was over my shoulder and the push right into the wall, it was a strong active camera move and I think it really worked better - it was kind of shocking and I think it was kind of dirty and kind of sexy." -- Nicholas Lea on Patient X, interview, X Files Official Site. "With the knowledge that the previous informants have been killed, I think that may be my fate in the future, unfortunately. But then again, as Marita would say, not everything dies." -- Laurie Holden on Marita Covarrubias, Inside The X Files special. "Marita Covarrubias? Mata Hari." -- Rob Bowman on Marita, Inside The X Files special. "Nicholas Lea as Krycek is an immense asset to this two-parter; the actor is so dynamic that his mere appearance jacks up the intensity level, although not even he can make credible the silly "rough necking" scene between Krycek and Marita." -- Paula Vitaris on Patient X, Fifth Season Guide, Cinescape Magazine, October 1998. "The biggest surprise in the two-parter is the return of Marita. This time Laurie Holden gets a chance to act. She is heart-breaking as the wretched woman who has become one of the Syndicate's guinea-pigs. Unfortunately...once she has served her function, she disappears." -- Paula Vitaris on One Son, Sixth Season Guide, Cinescape Magazine, October 1999. "That was not a passionate moment for Marita. It was what she needed to do in order to carry out her mission." -- Laurie on kissing Krycek in Patient X, Cinescape Magazine, October 1999. "I think Nick Lea, on screen, is gold. Any time Krycek is in the episode it's better...he is the kind of actor who, given the right role, could be a movie star. Hope he does." -- Rob Bowman, Cinescape Magazine, October 2000. "It's certainly more interesting for me as an actor, but I think it's also more interesting for the audience to see three-dimensional characters, rather than just a bad guy or a good guy." -- Nick Lea on Patient X, Dreamwatch Magazine, June 1998. "I just think sometimes that the focus is a little misplaced. I would love to see everybody here take a third of that energy and put it into their family or their community, or the people on the street who need our help." -- Nick Lea on fandom, Dreamwatch Magazine, June 1998. "It was nice to sit down and just talk about acting, especially with someone with his experience. That's really nice, when there's no barrier of age. It was a real treat. He loves acting and he loves actors, so he's just great to be around." -- Nick Lea on John Neville (Well-Manicured Man), Dreamwatch Magazine, June 1998. "What I like most about my character is that she's so cool and evasive and that she's such an enigma you can't define her." -- Laurie Holden on Marita, The X Files Yearbook 1999. "It was exciting because we knew that it was the first love scene on The X Files, so it was just kind of like a part of X Files history we knew we were creating. Nick as I are friends so we had a real sense of humour about it...every time our lips touched we were actually knocking teeth, so every time we came together it was like two quarterbacks coming together, 'Wham!' It actually appears a lot more passionate than it really was." -- Laurie Holden on kissing Krycek, The X Files Yearbook 1999. "I'm ready to break out and be a goofball." -- Laurie Holden on pursuing comedy, The X Files Yearbook 1999. "No-one considers themselves and the actions that they take as bad, and if you play a character, you really justify everything that you do. It's someone else's perspective that what you're doing is wrong." -- Laurie Holden on Zero Sum, The X Files Yearbook 1999. "[Krycek and Covarrubias] seemed so natural to me because we revealed in Zero Sum that she has some association with the Syndicate, and Krycek clearly has had an association with them, so it seemed like a hidden connection in the already-established mythology. It just felt right that these two people would have some backstory together." -- Kim Manners on Patient X, The X Files Yearbook 1999. "I love the idea of the contradiction of the heated sex scene and the [artificial] hand...That was a good day in the life of Krycek." -- Nick Lea on kissing Marita, The X Files Yearbook 1999. |
