David Duchovny Filmography

• "I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything."
• "I'm frightened by the possibilities of my own lack of talent."
• "Privacy is something I have come to respect. I think when I was younger I wanted to tell everybody everything, because I thought I was so damn interesting. Then I heard the snoring."
• "I've always been overly concerned about what people think which has resulted in a lot of inner turmoil. I try not to give a damn but inside I'm a huge ball of worry."
• "I think I'm nice enough to look at, but I think people make a big deal about my appearance. I think it was like hypnosis, like all of the sudden everybody's been trained: 'OK, now cluck like a chicken!' 'OK, now say David Duchovny's handsome!' I mean, I was a normal-looking kid, and whoever you are and whatever you look like, there are always things you want to change. I just remember that I wished I was blond. And I wished that my nose were smaller and my lips were smaller and my eyes were bigger... you know, everything."
• "I get tired of people asking if I believe in what's presented on the show. They don't ask the guys on 'E.R.' if they believe in euthanasia." (from Oct. 1997 "Chicago Tribune" interview)
• "I never, ever, ever cook. And I would never eat anything I might cook."
• "If you're smart, you'll always be humble. You can learn all you want, but there'll always be somebody who's never read a book who'll know twice what you know."
• "It's pretty workaday, people don't seem to realize: You get up, you take a shower, you read the paper, you play Mulder." (from June 1998 "Entertainment Weekly" interview)
• “Send me whatever you want, I’ll wear it. I’m an idiot - I should talk about Tiffany’s. Let me give a plug to the Federal Reserve. My favorite bill is the one hundred.”
• "Because you can't do anything without getting caught." [why fame is like being Catholic]
