Alvin Law and Jim Rose in The X-Files (1993)

Quotes

Jim Rose

  • Late-20th-century phobias are endless. It's my job to know that everybody has had superglue stuck between their thumb and index finger for a fraction of a second and it scared the hell out of 'em. I add comedy to make the atrocities palatable. [Entertainment Weekly, December 15, 1995]
  • We were a 'freak show' from '91 to '93. '94 to '96 we became a 'thrill show' -- you know, balancing lawnmowers on the upper lip and having the audience throw heads of lettuce at it -- and then '97 to '99 it was on to women's sumo wrestling and Mexican transvestite wrestling. All the stunts we've done, we continue to do, but we leave plenty of room for the new stuff we're doing today. [Regina Leader-Post, May 16, 2002]
  • [Outside of North America] we're considered kind of a comedy, shock-theater troupe. We're the top ticket in the history of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Melbourne Comedy Festival. . . . In Europe, grandmothers bring their grandchildren. We're considered artists over there.
  • It's a strange way to make a living, and my dentist has made me cut down on eating light bulbs, but I'm never bored. [1995]
