Our human nature is exactly the same as it was 500 years ago, let alone five years ago.

Image
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.

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.

I don't want to know what happens in any movie that I go to see.
David Duchovny
Image
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.

It's almost obscene when you see people who haven't matured, who haven't changed, who don't have the weight of years on them. So that's interesting to me - to think about playing him into the future, anew.

Actually, I have an interest in finishing my Ph.D., but I just know I never will.

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.

My whole life, Ive wanted things before I was ready. I was always pushing for the next job, the next success. I was so focused on achieving and the path that I was missing some great point about life.

Image
Dogs are the broccaflower of the animal kingdom.
David Duchovny
Image
I had a fear that I'd be typecast, but I don't really have that fear anymore.
David Duchovny
Image
Chemistry is really about two people who like to act together, I think. It's like tennis in the most cliched way. It's like if you hit the ball, they hit the ball back, and they don't hit it into the stands, and they don't put the ball in their pocket and walk off - and they don't argue with the umpire, you know?

What makes me mad is arrogance, pretension, putting on airs.
David Duchovny
Image
I'm very proud of my Scottish blood.
David Duchovny
Image
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.

Image
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.

Image
For hundreds of years, that was the major form of entertainment: The grown-ups sat around and watched the kids play. Now they sit around and watch the television. The actors are the kids.

Image
I really like gratuitous nudity. I hate when people go, 'I'll only do it if it makes sense for the movie'. It never makes sense. So I like it - the more gratuitous the better.

Image
My favorite parts of work as an actor and a director are those unplanned mistakes that do happen, because it's like catching lightning in a bottle. It's the best part of what we do.
