Actor David Duchovny let go of the grudges he held against his father after becoming a father himself because he realised how hard parenting can be.
"You let go of so much stuff. Because you're like, this is impossible! No wonder we all make mistakes. I probably didn't get as much of my dad as I wanted as a kid. There was always that kind of hunger for him," Duchovny told people.com.

"I was actually just telling this story with her the other day, and I saw her do one take and I was like 'She's fine, I'm leaving'. She was like 'Yeah, you left!' I said 'Yeah, you didn't need me.'"
Why Larson vomited a lot while making 'Captain Marvel'
Actress Brie Larson says doing actual flight training as a prep for Captain Marvel wasn't just intense, but made her sick too.
Marvel Studios' Captain Marvel introduces the MCU's first stand-alone, female-franchise title character --- Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel, essayed by Larson.
"Oh, I puked a lot. That's part of how I got my call sign. All of the pilots were like you are not supposed to tell anybody that, and I was like 'I got no shame'," Larson said in a statement to a publication.
She added, "But we were simulating a dog fight, so I was like flipping around all which way. My pilot was so incredible and super-talented. It was just amazing to feel all of that, especially once we were back on set. When we were simulating a barrel roll, I was able to recall that exactly, what that feels like, what your body feels like, how hard it is to breathe.
"It's all of those little nuances that I hope will come through in the movie."
Set in the 1990s, Captain Marvel follows Danvers' journey as she becomes one of the universe's most powerful heroes. Based on the comic book series, first published in 1967, Captain Marvel also stars Oscar winning Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, Samuel L. Jackson, Ben Mendelsohn with Annette Benin and Jude Law.
Larson also said that her strength training didn't just transform her physically, but also helped her prepare mentally.
"A huge part of Captain Marvel is her strength. I knew if I could go through that experience, I would get closer to her and I'd understand her," she said.
Captain Marvel will release in India on 8 March in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

So much stigma attached to sexual crime: Richa Chadha
Actress Richa Chadha says there is so much stigma attached to sexual crime that sometimes it's impossible to get even the bravest women to speak up.
Last year, the Indian audience saw Richa in Love Sonia, a film which deals with the topic of human trafficking.
The Tabrez Noorani directorial released in the UK last week. To promote the film, the Indian actress appeared on a show hosted by Victoria Derbyshire on Monday. She also used the platform to speak about a variety of issues, including the #MeToo movement -- a global movement which is against sexual harassment and assault.
On #MeToo, she said, "It's upsetting that those women who have come out and spoken, many of them have received death threats, rape threats, for some their livelihood has been snatched away.
"Primarily, there's an issue of will and consent. There are many cases where a woman may have given the consent to sleep with somebody, but her will may not have been there because they will have a position of authority or power over the woman which they can blatantly abuse.
"So, this is a very tricky territory which we need to figure out to make this work, to create a supportive environment for women who speak out. The term for rape in Hindi is 'izzat lootna'. Its literal translation is losing your dignity. So, there's so much stigma attached to any kind of sexual crime that sometimes, it's impossible to get the bravest women to speak out...because this then, becomes that one thing that defines them," she added.
Speaking about the harsh standards of beauty for women, Richa said, "Today, it can be very confusing for young women... what you're supposed to do with your body. I believe that one should be healthy and exercise.
"Everybody should be allowed to be happy in their own skin without being called 'lazy' or 'unprofessional' or 'anorexic' or 'not womanly' enough. It's so harsh for women to keep up and adhere to these standards."
