“I feel I have to work hard to nurture whatever talent I have as an act...” — David Duchovny Quote

“I feel I have to work hard to nurture whatever talent I have as an actor. I feel like it's not natural to me. So I don't take it for granted... What I think is my natural ability - which is writing - I think I totally take that for granted.”

“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.”

“Generally, I don't like to walk out of a movie. It's like a relationship - you want to see it to the end; otherwise, you won't know if you left early or not.”

“When you really struggle at one thing, you don't take it for granted.”

“It is also, I would guess, a universal that in all societies people value respectability granted to them.”

“I think going through some of the hard times makes you appreciate it even more when things are going well. It makes you realise how fortunate you are and not to take things for granted.”
