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.

More quotes by David Duchovny
I'm always trying to perfect the romantic comedy, though.
David Duchovny
We all know people for that length of time and people change. They mature. There is a certain expectation that a fictional character does not change. But you can't go back and play him the same way.
David Duchovny
One of the great things about doing series television is the guest actors that you can have come on and play around with.
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
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.
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
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.
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
When I was a kid I ate sports books up, like Winners Never Quit by Phil Pepe. That was like my bible.
David Duchovny
As names that can mean things, I prefer spiritual to a lot of other things.
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
I enjoy trying to figure out the best way to compliment the picture and not overpower it.
David Duchovny
If I were gay, you know. I think Woody Allen is one of a long list of men I might go gay for.
David Duchovny
If somebody says what they want or what they need it gives the person the chance to say yes or no, instead of suffering in silence or depravation or whatever it is.
David Duchovny
I really enjoy taking an outdoor shower.
David Duchovny
What makes me mad is arrogance, pretension, putting on airs.
David Duchovny
I like my computer. But I don't know how to use it as well as the 10-year-old daughter.
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 think Mulder is the worst FBI agent in the world. He spends millions of dollars investigating these paranormal phenomena and never comes up with any evidence. He's the Kenneth Starr of the FBI.
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
