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
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 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 lost my virginity when I was 14. And I haven't been able to find it.
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 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 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
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
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
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
In high school and college, I was an athlete.
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
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
When I was a kid I ate sports books up, like Winners Never Quit by Phil Pepe. That was like my bible.
David Duchovny
I don't think I'd ever be cruel to an animal.
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
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
A bath tub, apparently, was the first thing I wanted to be.
David Duchovny
Most journalists expect me to answer all their questions about aliens and spaceships.
David Duchovny
A dream is the mind's way of answering a question it hasn't yet figured out how to ask.
