Quote: 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]
Quote: For hundreds of years, that was the major form of entertainment: The grown-ups sat around and watched the kids play. Now they sit around and watch the television. The actors are the kids. [David Duchovny]

Quote: I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in. [David Duchovny]

Quote: I don't socialise with Gillian just because we're working together all the time. You can't describe our relationship as 'like' or 'dislike'. We've been thrown together, two people who don't know each other and forced to spend more time together than married people do. [David Duchovny]
Quote: I don't think I'd ever be cruel to an animal. [David Duchovny]

Quote: I lost my virginity when I was 14. And I haven't been able to find it. [David Duchovny]
Quote: I love dogs. They live in the moment and don't care about anything except affection and food. They're loyal and happy. Humans are just too damn complicated. [David Duchovny]
