No, I haven’t started it yet but I will. I still resent David but I’ll try to put that behind me and read his book because I’m sure it’s good and I love him as a writer. I’ve also been very busy but hey, I’m unemployed next week so I should have more time! 🙂
David is a busy man, so I couldn’t talk his ear off about various Scully theories all day long (although I wanted to)! He thanked me every time I said I enjoyed anything he’d written or a performance he’d given, and it was a very lovely interview experience. He was respectful and attentive, and that is rare in a celebrity of his status. Yes, he is super hot in person. No, I thankfully did not swoon, and I sounded like the educated human being that I am. Always nice when I can pull that off!
David Duchovny on Bill Carter – Sirius XM podcast On his relationship with Gillian Anderson: “We’ve spent so much time together. We’ve acted so much together. It’s not a possibility that I’ll ever act with anybody as much… there’s not enough time left in my life to do that. So, there’s a personal history that’s strong, there’s a personal history kind of encompasses this life changing and career making enterprise that we did together. We have that bond of like having started when we were just kind of individual people and then becoming this huge thing and only the other one knows what that’s like. And then we have all this acting that we’ve done together so I don’t think we even try to play any kind of anything. “
Other SiriusXM podcasts from last week:
David Duchovny on The Grammy Mix DJ Whoo Kid – SiriusXM podcast https://youtu.be/WdGYgMvjQ5k *Listening to his own song*: “Where does this beautiful sound coming from? It’s like an angel singing!”
David Duchovny on Up All Afternoon – Sirius XM podcast https://youtu.be/N2MJv9GJQIQ “Occasionally, I’ve ran around too much and I haven’t enough breath to sing. It’s like ‘Oh shit! I gotta sing now! And I’m sweating and I’m panting over here!’ ‘cause like I said, singing is not a natural gift for me so I kinda have to concentrate when I’m doing it. So if I’m having too good time, the songs may not be as good.” “One thing that Darin and I have talked about, is that Darin hates to work. You know, he hates having a job. So every show he’s ever been employed by, he tried to destroy from within. So if you think of every Darin script as trying to destroy The X-Files. You know, trying to cut it off at the knees. To expose it as ridiculous.”
David Duchovny on Feedback – SiriusXM podcast https://youtu.be/7Cl1xawRCzY “So this is the last season of The X-Files?” “We think! We don’t know! Nobody knows! I don’t think that way. I figured there’s always time to mourn. I try to appreciate it as it’s happening and not put a label on what’s happening or when. Nobody knows. Nobody wants to say.”
David Duchovny on Roland’s Food Court – SiriusXM podcast https://youtu.be/p1qnUiKzuyM “I’m not great with the food and I’m not great with telling about new music.”
“The second album is less heavy thematically and less heavy in lots of other ways,” says Duchovny of broadening his sound palette. "The first album was like, ‘I can’t believe I have actually written an album’ and the second one is realising this is part of what I do now. It was more of a natural thing,“ he says.
Duchovny recently gave his 88-year-old mother an audio book of his forthcoming release.
“I am pretty sure my mother has read my books,” he says. “Her eyes aren’t that great but she tells me she’s read them. I find when it comes to relatives, it’s hard for them to consume the works you write. I personally know my mother is afraid she’ll end up in one of the books. You read with that fear, of ‘please don’t say anything about me’.”
I figure my downtime is going to come,“ “I still love my acting, I’ve just found other passions as well.
"When you’re an actor-for-hire, you’re always afraid you’ll be put out to pasture or they’re going to stop wanting to see you. I like to keep working while the work is there. That has always been my approach, but having found music and writing prose for the last six years I have other ways to express myself.”
“But a first album is a first regardless of what age you release it. Every Third Thought is about as honest as I get to what I want to say. I hope my fans enjoy it.”
New York Times bestselling author David Duchovny reimagines the Irish mythological figure of Emer in Miss Subways, a darkly comic fantasy love story set in New York City.
Emer is just a woman living in New York City who takes the subway, buys ice cream from the bodega on the corner, has writerly aspirations, and lives with her boyfriend, Con. But is this life she lives the only path she’s on? Taking inspiration from the myth of Emer and Cuchulain and featuring an all-star cast of mythical figures from all over the world, David Duchovny’s darkly funny fantasy novel Miss Subways is one woman’s trippy, mystical journey down parallel tracks of time and love. On the way, Emer will battle natural and supernatural forces to find her true voice, power, and destiny. A fairy tale of love lost and regained, Miss Subways is also a love letter to the city that enchants us all: New York.
