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.

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.

I wouldn't say we were doing that. I think we probably stopped thinking. Though it took a while to stop thinking.

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.

I like my computer. But I don't know how to use it as well as the 10-year-old daughter.
David Duchovny
I don't think of myself as a TV actor. I think of myself as a film, television and Off-Off-Off-Off Broadway actor.
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
I think [kids] enjoy reading, but it's a different world now. There are a lot of competitors for the imaginative attention.
David Duchovny
I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything.
David Duchovny
Actually, I have an interest in finishing my Ph.D., but I just know I never will.

I also watch a lot of really bad television when I'm writing, Like Dancing With the Stars, with my daughter.

In high school and college, I was an athlete.

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.
