In the interview for AdWeek, David talked about news and social media. He explained his way of using Twitter and said why playing Fox Mulder is like singing an old tune.
What social media platforms do you use?
I'm on Twitter, and I guess I'm on Instagram, too.
What do you use Twitter for? Work? News?
Oh God, I don't get news from Twitter, no. I use it a little bit for work stuff, but I'm also trying to figure out the best way to communicate with either fans or people who are interested in what I'm doing. I'd like to see what that community is like—I use the word "community" with some anxiety—and what the dialogue can be like when it's not just one-sided. But I don't really know how to do that because it seems like the level of dialogue always descends into fandom, which I don't really want.

When you were getting ready to shoot the X-Files reboot, did you go back and watch any of the original episodes?
No, I didn't watch any of the old shows. It's like a tune that you know. I know it pretty well, and I'm going to go back and play it, and maybe I won't get all the notes right, but it's going to be the same tune. Anyway, I shouldn't get all the notes right because it's something new.
