He is in two minds when asked if he feels vulnerable singing lyrics he has written to an audience. He feels the need to distance himself from his words.
“It is a vulnerable position but it’s still a performance,” he explains.
“Even when I write a song I don’t feel like it’s me writing the song. Yes, it’s my point of view, but it was mine on the day that I wrote the song. Which is not necessarily my point of view now.
“So for me, all the songs are kind of characters in a way, or all of the songs from an album are similar characters from a similar time.
“I don’t feel like they are me – I feel that they were me when I wrote the song.”

The X-Files star David Duchovny says his singing is out there
By the time he toured Europe last year, fans had sampled Hell or Highwater and the most dedicated among them were ready to show their support with some impressive crowd karaoke.
It was a rock star moment he will never forget, even if he isn’t destined to achieve the level of musical success of his own heroes.
“In Europe, it was crazy. It was a surreal moment when they all started singing. I did that thing where you hold out the mic out for them and their singing was louder than mine. I could take that verse off,” he said, laughing.

“It’s about expression. I forget who it was but I read a musician talking about how he likes to listen to people with bad voices because they have to use what they’ve got to work with. I get the pathos of somebody working with a limited range to create something beautiful. It’s human.”

“Fun as an actor doesn’t necessarily mean laughing on set and goofing around. Fun is what enlists the most of you to when you go to work and how involved you can get and how deeply you can get into something. Playing something like Mulder, the challenge, the fun of it is to make this guy as real as possible in these situations.”
