I don't want to know what happens in any movie that I go to see.
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.

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
My favorite parts of work as an actor and a director are those unplanned mistakes that do happen, because it's like catching lightning in a bottle. It's the best part of what we do.
David Duchovny
I don't know if [Samuel] Beckett is something you ever bring to the beach - get out of the water, towel off, and start reading some of The Unnamable. Although, because it's the kind of book you can open to any page and start reading, it is beach reading in that way.
David Duchovny
There's two things I gotta do. One is, I gotta update my resume. And then, I have to call my mother.
David Duchovny
I don't need my phone to play me music. I need it to be a phone and an e-mail thing.

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
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
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
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
Most journalists expect me to answer all their questions about aliens and spaceships.
David Duchovny
As names that can mean things, I prefer spiritual to a lot of other things.
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
It's always like you write a poem when you can't really say what you're trying to say.

I had to work in one of the most beautiful ski resorts in the world for almost three weeks. Pity me.
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
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 may be learning guitar, but I'll never be able to sing.
David Duchovny
