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.

More quotes by 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
I'm always trying to perfect the romantic comedy, though.
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
Every day I try to do breathing exercises, meditation, and yoga. These things sound awfully cliche, but they help me slow down and try to point to a truth.
David Duchovny
I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.
David Duchovny
There's two things I gotta do. One is, I gotta update my resume. And then, I have to call my mother.
David Duchovny
It seems unlikely that we're alone in the universe. But I'm pretty sure nobody's hiding any contact.
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

Sex is great until you die, but it's never as great as it was when you were a kid, when it was a mystery.
David Duchovny
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.
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
When I was a kid I ate sports books up, like Winners Never Quit by Phil Pepe. That was like my bible.
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
I lost my virginity when I was 14. And I haven't been able to find it.
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
It's always like you write a poem when you can't really say what you're trying to say.
David Duchovny
I've got huge tubs full of X-Files memorobilia that I can sell on eBay.
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
I think [kids] enjoy reading, but it's a different world now. There are a lot of competitors for the imaginative attention.
