Actually, I have an interest in finishing my Ph.D., but I just know I never will.
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.

I poop in the backyard... I wear disposable diapers.

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.

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 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
Feelings come and go, unless you don't feel them. Then they stay, and hurt, and grow pear-shaped and weird.
David Duchovny
In high school and college, I was an athlete.

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.

I don't like watching people work if they're making art.
David Duchovny
Our human nature is exactly the same as it was 500 years ago, let alone five years ago.

I really enjoy taking an outdoor shower.
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
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.
