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.

More quotes by 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
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
It's not someone else's responsibility to honor my marriage. It's my responsibility.
David Duchovny
I enjoy trying to figure out the best way to compliment the picture and not overpower it.
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.

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
If young actors ask me things, I always tell them to get on set and watch how it's done. If you can, watch the people that you like, how they work.
David Duchovny
I had a fear that I'd be typecast, but I don't really have that fear anymore.
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
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
Willie Mays was the best ever. When I was in college I once made a catch like the one Mays made over his head. Sometimes when I'm lying in bed at night I think about it. It still makes me warm.
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 think I'd ever be cruel to an animal.
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
I wouldn't succeed at musical theater.
David Duchovny
I'm not reading currently because I'm getting revisions of a novel. If I read while I'm writing I will unconsciously plagiarize and go to jail.
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
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 really like gratuitous nudity. I hate when people go, 'I'll only do it if it makes sense for the movie'. It never makes sense. So I like it - the more gratuitous the better.
David Duchovny
I just spend my money on the essentials. Just basically food and shelter.
