More quotes by David Duchovny
Fame does lead to money, which I don't have a close relationship with. I'm the kind of guy who never sees the money - it all goes somewhere else. I don't understand it, I don't like to deal with it. I have a fear of not having it, because I grew up without it.

Chemistry is really about two people who like to act together, I think. It's like tennis in the most cliched way.

David Duchovny
