More quotes by David Duchovny
As I've gotten older I've become a devotee of 19th-century authors, such as Charles Dickens and George Eliot.
David Duchovny
On the one hand, people think they own kids they feel that they have the right to tell the kids what to do. On the other hand, people envy kids. We'd like to be kids our whole lives. Kids get to do what they do. They live on their instincts.
David Duchovny
I love Doctor Who and I remember the first one, which was wonderful in its low-tech quality. I also loved the theme song, which sounded like The Cure to me. Which character would I like to play in Doctor Who? Who's the bad guy? The Dalek? OK, I'll play him.
David Duchovny
I understand the self-loathing and the resentment, and the discipline that it takes to sit down in front of a typewriter or computer every single day, whether it's going well or not going well.
David Duchovny
I think [kids] enjoy reading, but it's a different world now. There are a lot of competitors for the imaginative attention.
David Duchovny
I also watch a lot of really bad television when I'm writing, Like Dancing With the Stars, with my daughter.
David Duchovny
When I was a kid I ate sports books up, like Winners Never Quit by Phil Pepe. That was like my bible.
David Duchovny
What makes me mad is arrogance, pretension, putting on airs.
David Duchovny
I reread Ball Four by Jim Bouton, the father of all sports books. Aside from that, and books like Out of Their League by Dave Meggyesy, sports books generally pull their punches.
David Duchovny
TV was the boogey man when I was growing up. Video games are the boogey man now. The novel was once a boogey man. Books about lowborn people doing lowborn things were once considered a real assault on people's morals. Maybe some day video games will be looked on as a good thing, but personally I don't see it.
David Duchovny
I wouldn't say we were doing that. I think we probably stopped thinking. Though it took a while to stop thinking.
David Duchovny
People are really much more respectful than they're made out to be and much more discerning about the fact that I'm not the character I play.
David Duchovny
I don't think of myself as a TV actor. I think of myself as a film, television and Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway actor.
David Duchovny
Usually, when I act, I try to forget the words and let them come, and just find my way through them.
David Duchovny
It's always like you write a poem when you can't really say what you're trying to say.
David Duchovny
Our human nature is exactly the same as it was 500 years ago, let alone five years ago.
David Duchovny
I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything.
David Duchovny
As names that can mean things, I prefer spiritual to a lot of other things.
David Duchovny
There is never a personal-life connection between my characters and myself. I'm a professional and I can access what I need to access, so there's no bleed-over. I didn't need to believe in aliens to play Mulder. As for my personal life, everything is fantastic right now.
David Duchovny
I don't know if [Samuel] Beckett is something you ever bring to the beach - get out of the water, towel off, and start reading some of The Unnamable. Although, because it's the kind of book you can open to any page and start reading, it is beach reading in that way.
David Duchovny
