More quotes by 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.

Patrick Stewart was the first internet sex symbol without hair but pileggi always thought it was him.
David Duchovny
If young actors ask me things, I always tell them to get on set and watch how it's done. If you can, watch the people that you like, how they work.
David Duchovny
Maybe with Californication the character was partly based on Rick Moody. I read him and Jay McInerney, the templates for this bad boy novelist.
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
I love dogs. They live in the moment and don't care about anything except affection and food. They're loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated.
David Duchovny
I lost my virginity when I was 14. And I haven't been able to find it.

I may be learning guitar, but I'll never be able to sing.
David Duchovny
It's not someone else's responsibility to honor my marriage. It's my responsibility.
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
Willie Mays was the best ever. When I was in college I once made a catch like the one Mays made over his head. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed at night I think about it. It still makes me warm.
David Duchovny
I think it was W.H. Auden who said he was lucky that his first favorite poet was Thomas Hardy, who was a good but not a great poet, because if you are exposed to the greats too soon it can just squash you as a writer.
David Duchovny
Feelings come and go, unless you don't feel them. Then they stay, and hurt, and grow pear-shaped and weird.
David Duchovny
I don't like watching people work if they're making art.
David Duchovny
The key is to get to know people and trust them to be who they are. Instead, we trust people to be who we want them to be - and when they're not, we cry.
David Duchovny
Sometimes when I'm swimming, I think that maybe someday I'll put my red Speedo up for auction. Or maybe I'll donate it to the Smithsonian. They can stuff it with two plums and a gherkin and put it on display.

I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.
David Duchovny
It seems unlikely that we're alone in the universe. But I'm pretty sure nobody's hiding any contact.
David Duchovny
I'm very proud of my Scottish blood.
David Duchovny
I feel I have to work hard to nurture whatever talent I have as an actor. I feel like it's not natural to me. So I don't take it for granted... What I think is my natural ability - which is writing - I think I totally take that for granted.
