Zitat des Tages von 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.
I mean, there's chemistry in life and there's acting chemistry. I'm not saying they're the same thing, but they're as mysterious.
Games, by nature, have more plot options and non-linear qualities than TV and film.
I'll instinctively know that I identify with a character.
My entire life has been an attempt to get back to the kind of feelings you have on a field. The sense of brotherhood, the esprit de corps, the focus - there being no past or future, just the ball. As trite as it sounds, I was happiest playing ball.
I love the ocean, wide-open space and trees, but I'm not a gardener or anything like that. I think I may be, eventually. I was raised in the city, so I don't have that skill set, but my heart is more with the dirt than the concrete. It's an unrequited love with nature - a one-way love affair.
You're raising a kid and you give it food and shelter and, most importantly, you give it the feeling that it's special. I think people react to celebrities like that - I mean, they treat celebrities like children.
I'm kind of stupid when it comes to gadgets.
Women's fashion is a subtle form of bondage. It's men's way of binding them. We put them in these tight, high-heeled shoes, we make them wear these tight clothes and we say they look sexy. But they're actually tied up.
I'd love to direct more.
I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in.
If you have Darwin, Christ and Nietzsche, they're all going to talk at once. You need somebody who listens.
You become tyrannized by this notion that women must not only be treated equally, but they must never fail.
In the U.S., oddly, we have images of men as arrogant and aggressive.
I feel like I came to acting late in a way.
I feel like I came to acting late in a way. 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.
I do not think that Mulder trusts any one other than Scully. He s very solitary. She is the only one who takes him seriously. I don t know if they re in love. In a way, their relationship is deeper than that, because they cannot live without each other.
One of the scary things is that, when you're a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you're an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that you have it, too.
It's hard to find scripts that know what they are from page one to page 115.
I drive an electric car.
One of the nice things about acting is that it allows you to open up to the other people within you.
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.
I don't like watching people work if they're making art.
People think celebrities don't have to worry about human things like sickness and death and rent. It's like you've traveled to this Land of Celebrity, this other country.
Whenever somebody says they need an angle for their story I always fear that they've got an idea and they want me to fit into it or they want me to come up with an idea myself or I'm supposed to be more revealing than I've been, and to me it just sounds like something I don't want to do.
It's not someone else's responsibility to honor my marriage. It's my responsibility.
I like my computer. But I don't know how to use it as well as the 10-year-old daughter.
I lost my virginity when I was 14. And I haven't been able to find it.
I've made so many mistakes. But it is my feeling that you learn from failures, so I welcome them as often as I can.
Anxiety is part of creativity, the need to get something out, the need to be rid of something or to get in touch with something within.
'Duch' means spirit and 'ovny' is kind of the adjectival ending, so the word itself means spiritual. It's my father's name, obviously. He took the 'H' out because he was tired of people saying Duchovny, but he never did it legally. When my parents divorced, my mother, to my father, put the 'H' back in.
I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything.
There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the panoply of life's rich experience.
I think we all choose our style from the ether and whatever is out there.
I don't think I'd ever be cruel to an animal.
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.
