More quotes by 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
I was about 26 or 27 and it was imperative that I make a living right away and it's hard to make a living on stage, so I started in television and film.
David Duchovny
As names that can mean things, I prefer spiritual to a lot of other things.
David Duchovny
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.
David Duchovny
I really enjoy taking an outdoor shower.
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
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.
David Duchovny
I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything.
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
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.
David Duchovny
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?
David Duchovny
In high school and college, I was an athlete.
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
Maybe the best things about celebrity are the things like being able to get that seat on the plane that you wouldn't normally get, but that's kind of like cheating.
David Duchovny
I'm actually thinking about getting back to being a bath tub. I don't think anyone's ever quite segued into that.
David Duchovny
It's not someone else's responsibility to honor my marriage. It's my responsibility.
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
I look back the old old ones [X-Files series], from the beginning, and I'm kind of mortified by my acting! But I'm kind of impressed by my enthusiasm. I'm just thankful that I got to become better at what I did, and that we didn't get cancelled in the first year.
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
TV directors just aren't sexy for some reason, Although, you know, Rob and Kim [Manners] are very sexy in my eyes.
