David Duchovny's quotes

• I never, ever, ever cook. And I would never eat anything I might cook.
• I'm half Jewish, half Scottish. It's hard for me to buy anything.
• 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.
• 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.
• I'm frightened by the possibilities of my own lack of talent.
• [on his role as Agent Fox Mulder on The X Files (1993)] 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)
• [on The X Files (1993)] I get tired of people asking if I believe in what's presented on the show. They don't ask the guys on ER (1994) if they believe in euthanasia. (from October 1997 "Chicago Tribune" interview)
• [on one of his scenes from Evolution (2001)] Any scene where I can use a pipette, I'm happy.
• People say the world changes all the time, and yet human nature remains the same. I think what's changed is the size of our cell phones.
• [on how his relationship with Gillian Anderson is now] It is very good, yes it is. We have a very good relationship. Different than when it was when we were shooting The X Files (1993), we are both not exhausted all the time.
• Vancouver is a very nice place if you like 400 inches of rainfall every day...
