Trovate di seguito due interviste di David Duchovny, una per il LA Times e un'altra per il Time Out New York. Da segnalare quello che dice David riguardo i fan di X-Files:

TONY: So true. When referring to hard-core X-Files fans, which of the following words do you use: nerds, dorks or geeks?

David Duchovny: I refer to them as old friends. The Hot Seat - David Duchovny

The truth is out there—but Duchovny’s not telling.

Surprise! David Duchovny is returning as Agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files: I Want to Believe, the second film spin-off of the FBI-meets-aliens TV hit. Maddeningly, that “no, duh!” information seems to be the only tidbit the deadpan 47-year-old—or anyone else—will reveal about the movie, whose “secret” has somehow yet to surface on the Internet. Duchovny, a native New Yorker who is married to actor Téa Leoni, is less tight-lipped about his Golden Globe–garnering role as a horndog novelist on Showtime’s Californication (which he also executive-produces), returning for its second season on September 22.

Time Out New York: I hear you’re moving back to New York with your family this fall. How long has it been since you last lived here?
David Duchovny: Over 20 years. Has it changed?

TONY: Not at all. Especially not the East Village, where you grew up.
David Duchovny: [Laughs] Yeah, it’s very different. But the East Village was always struggling to have an identity. I think it always will.

TONY: Does this mean the title of Californication will be changing to Newyornication?
David Duchovny: No, but I never liked the title anyway, because I didn’t want the focus to be on sex. I thought fornication kind of did that. So I tried for a long time but couldn’t come up with a better title.

TONY: What about Pecs and the City?
David Duchovny: There is a bunch of sex in it, yeah, but the sex part is really a marketing notion. Because you can’t say, “Hey, watch this show because it’s intelligent and it’s funny in a way that you haven’t seen in a while.” Early on it was apparent to me that they were going to hang it on tits and ass even though that’s never what the show was to me. But whatever. Come for the tits, stay for the dialogue.

TONY: On behalf of male writers everywhere, I want to thank you for making us look like total studs.
David Duchovny: I guess that is every writer’s fantasy. Once upon a time, though, people were turned on by the written word. Has that time passed?

TONY: Well, I’ll bet you got pretty hot when you read the script for the big Mulder and Scully sex scene in the new movie.
David Duchovny: Somehow I don’t think that’ll happen.

TONY: Dang. You’re not going to reveal anything about the X-Files movie, are you?
David Duchovny: Well, we’ve done a good job of keeping it quiet so far, so I don’t think I should ruin it now.

TONY: I strongly disagree.
David Duchovny: The idea behind that is that the kernel at the heart of the movie is surprising if you don’t know it.

TONY: Surprising like The Crying Game?
David Duchovny: Yes. Mulder’s a woman. Oh shit—it slipped out! No, not like that so much. More conceptual. And a concept that I think is fun to discover in the theater rather than going in knowing, Oh, that’s what this is about.

TONY: The big secret revolves around the Lost City of Monkeys, doesn’t it?
David Duchovny: The Lost City of Monkeys? No. We’re going to get to that in the next one. Or maybe in the fourth. If you want to flesh that story out, I’m all ears.

TONY: Okay, I’ll have my people send it to your people. Before filming, did you go back and watch old episodes?
David Duchovny: I will catch one here and there and call [creator] Chris Carter the next day to say, “That sucked,” or, “That was great.” I actually just e-mailed him because I happened to catch the first few episodes. I was just terrible, and the show was cheesy and cheap. So I e-mailed Chris and said, “Thanks for giving me the opportunity to get better.”

TONY: What do you want to believe in?
David Duchovny: At the risk of sounding like Obama: change.

TONY: I want to believe in free nachos for everyone.
David Duchovny: No, you already believe in that. That’s just something you want.

TONY: So true. When referring to hard-core X-Files fans, which of the following words do you use: nerds, dorks or geeks?
David Duchovny: I refer to them as old friends.

TONY: Very political, Mr. Duchovny. Maybe you are the next Obama.
David Duchovny: I want to believe.

FONTE: Time Out New York David Duchovny: 'The X-Files' is equal to God

These days, every major genre film and hit show has a significant presence on the Internet, but that wasn’t the case when "The X-Files" became a spooky sensation in the 1990s. David Duchovny said that, like his character Fox Mulder, the relentless faith of true believers is astounding to behold.

" 'The X-Files' was said to be the first Internet show," Duchovny said over coffee on a recent morning in Los Angeles. "We had chat rooms and fan sites and all that. Look, I’m usually five or six years behind whatever is hip. So it was around 2000 that I started doing e-mail and finally started understanding what all that was about."

And what was it about? The answer is religion, apparently.

"My initial response — and I still hold this to be true — is that it takes the place of some of the functions of a church in a small town: A place where people come together, ostensibly to worship something. But really what’s happening is you’re forming a community. It’s less about what you’re worshiping and more about, ‘We have these interests in common.’ Someone has a sick aunt and suddenly it’s about that, raising money to help her or sharing resources to make her life easier. That’s what it was about with 'The X-Files' on the Internet."

Duchovny and co-star Gillian Anderson are back on autopsy and trench-coat duty on July 25 as "The X-Files: I Want to Believe" pulls the FBI tandem away from the complicated conspiracy plots of the old series and puts them in the "monster of the week" mode of investigating an isolated supernatural threat.

Duchovny said that he has come to view the most loyal fans of the show as celebrants of self, not of celebrity.

"When I was at Comic-Con it felt the same as the small-town church thing. I’m not denigrating 'The X-Files,' but that fellowship isn’t essentially about the show. The fans came to Comic-Con to honor us but I think they’re honoring us because we inspire them to have a certain kind of fellowship. Now, I’m not saying we’re not worthy of that kind of honor. I want to be clear about that.”

Oh, that’s very clear; essentially, his point is that "The X-Files" is bigger than God and religion, right? "No, no! You’re going to get me in trouble. I didn’t say bigger than God. I said 'The X-Files' is equal to God."
