Mr. X -- German GQ Magazine, October 1998 (excerpt)
by Ulrich Loessl (courtesy of Chimerical Publications)

 

"Q: Let's put this theory to the test: Do you dress left or right?

DD: That's already been a hot topic of discussion, when I wore a tiny Speedo during one episode of the X Files. You couldn't tell then and I won't tell now. Sorry!

Q: Speaking of which: How tall are you?

DD: A little bit taller than a whale's penis.

Q: Excuse me?

DD: In "Moby Dick" Melville describes in great detail how a whale is being gutted and in this context he mentions that the size of a whale's penis is 1.80 meters. I'm 1.83 meters tall."

Making Contact with David Duchovny -- Playgirl, August 1994 
Close Encounter With the X-Files' August Agent (excerpt)
by Jenny Higgons (courtesy of Chimerical Publications)


"PG: And you wouldn't have qualms about exposing your manhood?

DD: No. Why should I? It's just what it is. It's just a penis, you know.

PG: There's this big horrible gasp when men show their penises in movies.

DD: Yes, there is, and I think it's because of two things: one, of men running Hollywood, for the most part, and, I'm not sure if women are that interested in seeing men's soft penises.

PG: Soft?

DD: Well, you're not going to walk around with a hard-on in a movie, either.

PG: I guess it depends on the situation.

DD: That would never be shown in an American movie, and I guess that would be the real test — if you're willing to with a hard-on in a movie. The other thing is, on the one hand, it means nothing, why not show it? On the other hand, who needs to see it? Why do you need to see a penis? Why do you need to see pubic hair? It's not a big deal for me to either see it or show it. Pubic hair does not turn me on. Penises, when they're soft, they're kind of ridiculous things, anyway, you know?

PG: Yes, especially if they're uncircumcised — they look like turtles.

DD: Well, I don't want to cast aspersions on our Gentile brothers."

Transcript from David's appearance on Howard Stern Interview (excerpt)
April 6, 2000 promoting Return to Me (courtesy of Chimerical Publications)

 

 

"Howard Stern: You're a fan of masturbation, that's what it means

 

David Duchovny: oh, ok

 

Howard Stern: You love to masturbate.

 

David Duchovny: Sex with someone you really love?

 

Howard Stern: No, you've always been a fan of it, you like watching porno, you've admitted that?

 

David Duchovny: A fan of masturbation???

 

Howard Stern: You've admitted to watching porno, that you rewind it back to the scenes you like.

 

David Duchovny: That seems to me to be very normal."

 


A BOB item from "X Marks the Spot"

Filed by: Rstetradio


Excerpt from "X Marks the Spot"

Page 63

2 x 5 Duane Barry

 

Location: Aquatic Centre and Chemistry Bldg, Univ. of British Columbia

 

 

"During CC's directorial debut we were again on campus at the aquatic centre.

David was swimming laps as part of the scene's action, and when he rose up from

the pool, his lower extremities also rose up. Calm and composed, David delivered

his lines perfectly. Women on the set were particularly observant during the filming

of this scene."

 

 

[For the record, Rstetradio's follow-up response was, "Well, DUH!"  Which, actually, was my first thought, as well.  *g*]

 


The ultimate answer to the delicate subject

Excerpt from Howard Stern interview, July 2002

Found at Gertie's DuchovnyNet

 

Ish: There's no mystery left about our Bob's being circumcised...:

[mim: Aww... shucky darn.  I guess we won't need the stationery, after all.  <g> 

             Oh well, I suppose life has *other* mysteries.  <sigh>]

 

 

"Stern: Well, that is fun. So much fun. Let me cut your underpants.

 

David: A little touch-up on my circumcision?"

 


A Nice Quote for Our Page

Filed by: Ishmael


From the much-missed "Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to DD" site

 

[mim: This was probably one of my first best DD finds of my young Internet life.  I recall letting out a big sign when I read this.  I thought, "Someone understands... <sniff>"    Still feel that way today, so I hope nobody minds this same reminder here.]

 

 

"Dedicated to that intellectually,

drop-dead gorgeous specimen of manhood,

who, in a voice likened to 'honey, with smoke-cured qualities':

 

Makes us laugh.....

Makes us cry.....

Invades our dreams.....

And disturbs our sleep."

 

 

[mim: No truer words.  <sigh>]

But here is my very own David quote (!!), expounding on the above fact of life as Mr. Uber-Sexual, woe is he.  Not.]

The Naked Truth

Filed by: Ish ("back to her researcher activity")


Excerpt from Howard Stern radio show, 16 June 1998

Courtesy of Chimerical Publications.

 

 

"Doug: Duchovny, there's this picture all over the Internet with you naked with a flowered teapot on your gonads. What's going on with that? (See: The Bob Institute's Teacup Party Photo Album for the even MORE (!!) lurid details...)

 

HS: Any truth to the rumor that you posed nude with a flowerpot on your gonads?

 

DD: I will tell you the truth. Right before...we had done the X Files pilot...we were about to go do the series in Vancouver, we did a little photo shoot in case we needed pictures of me. I was in my manager's house and she's English so, therefore, she has a lot of teacups, and I was just goofing around, I was changing and she had a cigar and the teacups and I just put the teacup over my...

 

Doug: It's a very large teacup.

 

DD: It's not that large.

 

HS: I heard you're big.

 

DD: I put it over my genitals and I had the cigar, and we just took a couple of pictures...

 

HS: Female manager, you're nude in her apartment...

 

DD: No no no, I came out with the teacup.

 

HS: Right, but you were nude. Were you banging your manager?

 

DD: No, I was changing from one outfit to another. It was like Ann Margret in Vegas. I had costume changes.

 

HS: Because I'm a guy with a small penis, I would never be seen with a teacup because I'd be afraid that if it moves, I'd be exposed. Only a guy with a large...

 

DD: I wasn't balancing it there, I was holding it with my hand.

 

HS: But only a guy with a large penis would even take that risk. Trust me.

 

[recording: 'Now that's a penis!']

 

DD: What voice was that? HS: I could use a demitasse cup.

 

RQ: A little espresso.

 

HS: A little espresso cup.

 

DD: It was actually a shot glass.

 

HS: How does this picture end up on the Internet?

 

DD: It's kind of a sad story. A man who was working as my publicist at the time - who I won't name and who actually did a lot of work for free for me when I couldn't afford it - I guess got payment in this way by turning around and selling this picture years later...and it's not that harmful, I mean, it's kind of a goofy picture..."

 

 

[mim: I have to agree with Ish.  Such a *nice* boy, isn't he?  J]

[mim: Not a direct reference to Bob, perhaps, but anatomically speaking, we're in the vicinity.  Close enough.]

 

 

"MU: Have you ever fantasized about your own funeral?

 

DD: Yeah, mm-hm. It's always open casket and I look fabulous.

 

MU: Jews don't have open caskets.

 

DD: I'm only half Jewish.  It's the bottom half that's open.  But I think it's the same thing everybody fantasizes, which is how dreadfully upset everybody is, all these people whose lives will never be the same, they're so diminished by my passing.  Like that.  And all the women that I've dated say, 'You know, he really was the one, he was the one I should have been with.  I never said it to him, but he was my true love.'  They all say that at some point, in the bathroom, and I have access to the bathroom because I'm just a floating spirit."

 

 

[mim: I don't know about anybody else, but for this reason alone, I'm eternally grateful David's lower half isn't Jewish.  I also like Bob as a floating spirit in my bathroom.  Never too many of those around.]

The Secret of a Good Bob in the Water

[Red Speedo Man! never rests!  And neither does Bob, under the right conditions and water temperature.]

 

 

Speaking of cute skivvies, fans still ask Duchovny about his own — specifically, a certain revealing red Speedo he once wore in an X-Files episode.

 

"Yeah, they really seem to remember that Speedo!" he said. "I think I still have it. Actually, I should've auctioned it off here. Maybe I could've financed my next movie with it."

 

While cold water usually causes shrinkage for mortal men, Agent Mulder definitely didn't have that problem. The secret of his virility?

 

"I had the FBI pool specially heated," Duchovny winks. "It was 102 degrees that day."

 

 

['Mortal men'?  Maybe they've never seen the pictures?  Bob is no mere mortal man!]

[The conversation began with "Evolution", (or more specifically, DD's Evolutionary Moon) but quickly evolved into more of a "New Year's Day" celebration, fortunately for us.  Ahem.]

 

 

Conan: Now, this is not the first time that you've exposed yourself in a film though, is it?

 

DD: No, no. In fact the first film I ever did, when I was green and didn't know any better, actually had the possibility for full frontal nudity which erm ...'the possibility' ...I don't know what that means but...

 

Conan: After secreting! which, you know ...you've been having a terrible time!

 

DD: I'm tired... <feigns exhaustion>  I mean, its just horrible!  It was a Henry Jaglum (sp?) called 'New Year's Day' which was the first acting job I really ever had and it was kind of an improv. film and I was getting kicked out of the house by a girlfriend, who was the star of the movie, Maggie Jacobson and Henry came to me and he said, 'You gotta get kicked out naked cos, you know, you're the bad guy and I want you humiliated,' and I didn't know that you didn't actually have to be naked for a movie to appear naked...

 

Conan: Right, you have things that you can wear that are flesh-coloured...

 

DD: Whatever!  They have cameras that don't have to go down!  <mimes framing a film shot>

 

Conan: No!, right, I forgot about that!  Yeah! sorry!

 

DD: There are many ways to not actually expose yourself ...frontally in a movie but being green I didn't know and Henry came to me and he said, 'You know, is it OK if I shoot the penis?' and I said 'shoot the penis, if you have to shoot the penis, shoot the penis' so then if I shoot the penis, then the penis might be in the picture. so if I shoot the picture, the penis might be in the picture ... and I was like, 'You know, you can shoot the penis, its OK with me, and I was like ...so as it turned out, luckily ...the penis

was not shot.

 

Conan: Right...

 

DD: And er ...it did not bounce into frame or anything like that!

 

<mimes a bouncing penis using both hands - I think he's indicating a side-to-side and slightly up-and-down motion, but his hands are about a foot apart so you draw your own conclusion!>

 

Conan: Right ...but I hope that ...there's probably footage of it somewhere, that someone's got!  Or maybe the director has it somewhere...?

 

DD: Its like ...'uncut?

[House of D directing was the subject, which quickly turned to the movie's editing for a PG-13 rating acquisition.]

 

 

DD: ...yes, from beginning to end, you gotta, you gotta be there, but like with the, like now I'm dealing like, with the ratings board a little, because its uhhh, its a coming-of-age story--

 

JL: Right.

 

DD: --and we want uhhh, we want a PG-13.

 

JL: Yeah.

 

DD: Ummm, which is, which is kinda hard to get sometimes, 'cause we have uhhh, there's like a running gag in the movie where Robin, who plays a mentally challenged man, is best friends with this kid.  And they have this book title thing--I don't know if you did this when you were kids, but it was like uhhh, Yellow River by I. P. Daily--

 

JL: Oh I read that; excellent, yeah, yeah! <audience laughs>

 

DD: Yeah, exactly, it was Yellow Mattress by I. P. Nightly...

 

JL: Yeah, yeah.

 

DD: See?  It still gets a little bit of a laugh! <smiles>

 

JL: Or, we used to page 'Hans Job' <?> over the intercom at school.

 

DD: I never did that.

 

JL: The Swedish kid.   'Can you page Hans Job the German kid?' <bigger laughs from audience now>

 

DD: Yeah, I never did...

 

JL: That was a good one.  That was a good one.

 

DD: ...and we also had, we had French Rupture by Jacques Too Tight. <audience roaring now—David says name faster>

 

JL: JacquesTooTight!

 

DD: JacquesTooTight!

 

JL: There's like a lot of these, just go on and on!

 

DD: That one's gonna stay in the movie, apparently. <audience agrees and laughs more>

 

JL: Yeah.

 

DD: Ahhh...

 

JL: But that one's okay.

 

DD: Well no, then we had, we came to--the sticking point was uhhh, Russian Rupture.  I don't know if any of you remember this, but uhhh, its by--anybody remember who wrote Russian Rupture?

 

JL: No.

 

DD: Ivana Kutyurc<expletive bleeped by NBC>off. <audience laughs> Well...

 

JL: No. <smiling> You know--I do remember that one!  That's, <Jay giggling now, so is David> I thought you were, you know, its been a long time--

 

DD: Yeah.

 

JL: --since I've heard anyone over the age of 12 say that name. <more laughs from audience>

 

DD: Yeah.  That's why I started to write <Jay laughs more>, because I thought we needed to remember these things.

 

JL: I was won--when you sit down with the rating boards, and they go, OK, 'I.P. Daily'; we can go with that...

 

DD: We like I.P. Daily!

 

JL: ...and, and the, the, whatever the mattress one--

 

DD: I.P. Freely--we like that! <David smiles & audience laughs>

 

JL: I.P. Freely, yeah--

 

DD: Anything we like...

 

JL: --but when you get to the Russian guy, how do you get around that?

 

DD: <clears throat> Well, I'd say that the word you're being offended by is not actually said.  It's just hidden within a larger word--

 

JL: Within a larger word.

 

DD: --so I can't say the word that offends, so, so I said...

 

JL: Right, right, right.  Unless you're talking about a rooster or something. <audience giggles>

 

DD: Right.  But I can say Kutyurc**koff. <bleep #2!>

 

JL: Right, right.

 

DD: I just can't say <snaps his fingers for emphasis> 'uhh!' <audience laughs>

 

JL: Right, right.

 

DD: So uhhh, so I say I'm not saying, 'uhh!'--I'm saying Kutyurc**koff. <bleep #3!>

 

JL: Right. <more laughs from audience>

 

DD: I'm saying it a lot.  'Cause the more I say it, the funnier it gets.

 

JL: Right, right, right. <louder laughs from audience this time>

 

DD: So uhhh, they said no.  You can't do it, uhhh--I said, what about uhhh, it's an R [rating], with Kutyurc**koff <bleep #4!> in the movie, its an R.  With uhhh, I said Kutyurrodoff? Yes, you can say Kutyurrodoff. <more laughs from audience> With Kutyurrodoff--

 

JL: But that's not even Russian!

 

DD: Well, apparently--

 

JL: Yeah.

 

DD: --the ratings board people are mostly Americans, so that's... <audience laughs>

 

JL: That must--

 

DD: ...they don't care about that

 

JL: --that must be a fascinating job, to sit with attorneys; Kutyurc**koff! <bleep #5!> 'We can go with Kutyurrodoff, your honor!' <audience laughs>

 

DD: Well, uhhh, we, we had uhhh, and then I had to go loop it with; I had to replace it because Robin had only said Kutyurc**koff <bleep #6!>.

 

JL: Right, right, right.

 

DD: So I had to go and get him to say Kutyurrodoff.

 

JL: Right.

 

DD: And, and he was unhappy! <more laughs from audience>

 

JL: He was unhappy?

 

DD: 'Cause he liked Kutyurc**koff! <bleep #7; more laughing from audience>

 

JL: Oh sure, as...as an artist, Kutyurc**koff <bleep #8!> is much better!

 

DD: Yeah.  And being [can't make out the rest here]

 

JL: And, and being an artist...you fight for the freedom!

 

DD: I think America's all about being able to say Kutyurc**koff! <bleep #9; will it ever end? >

 

JL: <agreeing> Right. <big cheers & laughs from audience> We've got the other one ...do you have any other words that they--that you had trouble with?

 

DD: Actually, Robin wouldn't say Kutyurrodoff.

 

JL: Oh, he wouldn't?

 

DD: He, he ended up saying Kutyurrockoff. <more laughs from audience>

 

JL: <smiling> Kutyurrockoff?

 

DD: So now it's, it's uhhh, Russian Rupture by Ivana Kutyurrockoff..

.

JL: Right.

 

DD: ...not as big a laugh. <now the 'big' laugh comes from the audience>

 

JL: Yeah, exactly.

 

DD: So I'm gonna go out, actually tonight, now that I know that Kutyurc**koff <bleep #10; wow, double digits--this has got to be some kind of record!> gets such a big laugh, I'm gonna go back and say--

The First Instinct is Usually the Funniest

Excerpt from "Connie and Carla Press Junket" transcript, April 2004

Transcribed by Mulderpause – posted at the David Duchovny Fans Message Board

Hopefully, you can still grab the audio file of this entire interview from the ever-wonderful Chimerical, Here

 

 

[David's always thinking of his third leg.  We can tell.  And he's right.  It's funnier than thinking about his three arms.]

 

 

Unidentified Female Press Officer: "Do you ... I know you've done romantic comedies recently and what not - "

 

DD: "Right."

 

UFpO: "However do you still find that you've gotta box your way from that whole X-Files, the whole X-Files -?"

 

DD: "Excuse me, what, what thing?"

 

UFpO: "Do you -"

 

DD: "No, okay.  Hehe.  Yeah, for sure, I mean, I'm always joking with my manager about how people always say to me, 'oh, I didn't know you were funny,' 'oh-oh, I didn't know you were funny,' it's like 'I didn't know you had a third arm', it's kind of like that, which wasn't funny, see, so obviously I'm not funny.  But it's just part of the baggage of being on a show that was that big, and it doesn't make any sense to run from it or to deny it, it's just it is what it is, and I'm proud of The X-Files and I'm happy that it made so much happen for me as a person, as an actor.  I wouldn't want it any other way, but it also brings these other barriers that are -- if you look at it the right way -- they can be fun to kind of overcome because you can surprise people."

 

[UFpO asked another, serious question about the 'serious part' of the movie, and David gave another brilliant answer, of course.  But I skipped it, because it took us away from the POINT of the reference.  But as you can tell, until he saw an opportunity to express it, David never stopped thinking about his third leg, and how humorous it can be.  Sorta like ...us, actually.]

 

UFpO: "I just want to let you know, it's not that we don't think you're funny, we just don't want to screw up anybody's sound in the back of the room."

 

DD: "But I will also acknowledge that that wasn't very funny, what I said.  'Cuz I know when I'm funny, and that wasn't funny.  I can do better.  I didn't want to say 'third leg' because I knew that sounded, like, off-color, and I went to 'third arm', and that's just not funny."

 

UFpO: "But I was wondering - "

 

DD: "See, now you're laughing.  You don't care.  Obviously, you're lying, you *don't* care, you don't care about screwing up the tape, you'll laugh if it's funny, it just wasn't funny.  But thank you for trying, thank you for trying to make me feel better."

 

UFpO: "I try."

 

DD: "I appreciate that."

 

 

[And we appreciate honesty and humor.  Thanks, David.  And your third leg, too.]

D: Is that "crotching" tiger?

D: Oh, God, if we could just call back the posters right now. (S&V laugh)

 

S: Yeah, then the current posters would be worth more on ebay, wouldn't they?

 

D: They would. (DD laughs) I think we should do it.  "Crotching Tiger" is kind of good just on its own.

JL: Well, the kid that plays you as a child, I mean he really does look like you.

 

DD: Well, he looks like me NOW, he doesn't look like me as a kid and his mother came up to me to show him off to me 'cause I hadn't met him and she goes, "You know, we think you look so much like him."  I said, "Well, he doesn't actually look so much like me."  And she said, "And since he's done the part, his nose has grown." 

 

[laughter] 

 

DD: And I said, "Thank you very much and keep me posted on all his other appendages as they grow."

[Okay, so it's not his strongest skill.  But with utterly charming presence like this, who needs a voice, anyways?]

 

 

JL: Now, I wanted to ask you this, now I know people know you from 'X-Files', but of course --

 

DD: Do they?

 

JL: -- your roots, of course, are in the theater.

 

DD: [laughing] -- my 'roots'.  Yeah, they are.

 

JL: But you were a theater guy, weren't ya?

 

DD: Yeah, in New York.

 

JL: I read a story about you awhile back about an audition -- do you know what I'm talking

about?

 

DD: Yes, yes.  Uh, I had an audition for a movie called Me and Him.  Which was a, uh --

 

[woman in audience laughs]

 

DD: You know that movie well?  I didn't get it... well, it was about a guy and his penis.

 

[audience laughs]

 

DD: This was a big movie, though -- this was a --

 

JL: I see why you didn't get it.  [off David's insulted look and groans from the audience]  That was a bad joke.  I'm sorry, I'm sorry!  I couldn't help it, I'm sorry, I couldn't help it.  Go ahead.  I don't remember this film.

 

DD: I don't get that, Jay.  I really don't get that.  So 'Me' was me -- or whoever got the part, I believe it was Griffin Dunne actually -- and 'Him' was the penis.  So for the audition it was like, one of my first auditions, maybe the tenth or something, and I was very excited to have an audition for a big movie, and uh, the audition was kind of a monologue but not really, because it was you talking to your penis.  But you were doing both parts.

 

[laughter]

 

DD: I'm not making this up at all.  So, uh, I get in there and it was directed by a woman and I think there were three women producers so I'm sitting there, and they say, "Okay, so why don't you go ahead and show us what you got."

 

[laughter]

 

DD: And, I began to read -- I began to do what I'd prepared.  And, uh, the voice that I chose for my penis was something like this, [speaks in falsetto voice]

 

[laughter]

 

DD: So... I mean, I was really going off the fact that if you were to give a voice to something you know, well, I'm not going to say what size, but you know, smaller than a human being, you know, that you would --

 

[laughter]

 

DD: -- that you would give it a high voice.  So you know, it was kinda one of these things where I'm saying -- I'm sitting in a cafeteria and my penis says to me, "oh, look at that girl, look at that girl, why don't you go talk to her?"  [to audience]  It was a little better written than that --

 

[laughter]

 

DD: -- so the, the director and the producer started laughing at me, and we stopped, and I said, "Well, what's so funny?" And they said, "Well, we've auditioned, you know, fifty, sixty guys an you are the first one to choose a falsetto for his penis."  And I said, I explained to them why I thought that made sense, and I said, "Well, what do most penises sound like?"  And they said, "Jack Nicholson."

 

[laughter]

 

JL: Really?  Wow.

 

DD: [nodding] So apparently all the actors were coming in and it was, "Well, what do you think of that girl over there?  Why don't you go get her, buddy?" [very good Jack Nicholson impression]

 

[laughter]

 

JL: See, I like yours.  I think your penis --

 

DD: [incredulous] You like mine?

 

JL: Well, it's less threatening.

 

[laughter]

 

DD: You're less threatened by what?

 

JL: I mean, I mean your penis is less threatening than the other one.

 

[laughter]

 

JL: 'Cause the others were like -- you have a -- it's a cute.  It's cute.

 

DD: Don't make me show you, Jay.

 

[laughter and screams]

 

JL: There's another joke, I'm not even going to go there, but --

 

DD: Don't make me make it talk to you.

 

 

[Could I perhaps make you make it talk to me?  I won't tell anyone what it says, I promise.  ;-P] 

 


The Woman Who Lives with The Coolest Cucumber, Wins

[And you thought he was only there for looks, essential alleviation other than sex and sex...  Allow me to say that again.  Sex.]

 

 

Mr. Grobel:  Ever marvel at how cool your husband seems on those shows? 

 

Téa:  David channels his nerves somewhere down near his prostate.  In almost a reverse psychology reaction to nervousness, he becomes the coolest cucumber.  And his wit is not delayed by a moment.

 

 

[No joke, my good woman!  Speaking of cool cucumbers, if that isn't the coolest cucumber I, personally, ever ...saw, sorta, I don't know what is.  I'm suddenly craving cucumbers.  Anyone care to join me for a cool cucumber ...salad?] 

 


Comparison Shopping

Excerpt from "The X-Files - Excelsius Dei (# 2X11)" written by Paul Brown

Fox Network - First aired, December 16, 1994

 

 

[I could be wrong, and it wouldn't be the first time (!!!), but I have a feeling Mr. Brown didn't write this line for Mulder into the script.  Don't know about anybody else, but sounds like classic Duchovny Boblib adlib to me]

 

 

Scully: What do you think, Mulder? 

 

Mulder: About the guy's plumbing?

 

 

[As compared to...  Oh, and "Thank you for sharing," David.  J] 

 


What Scully Didn't Learn in Catechism, Mulder Could Teach Her

[subtitled: "Can Snake Handling Save This Partnership?"]

Excerpt from "The X-Files – Signs and Wonders (# 7X09)" written by Jeffrey Bell

Fox Network - First aired, January 23, 2000

 

 

[Life is for learning, I've heard it said.  I'd recommend Scully take Professor Agent Mulder's "Snake Handling for Catholic Schoolgirls – A Prior Decade of Decadent Delinquents" refresher catechism course.]

 

 

Scully: Snake handling.  We didn't learn that in catechism class.

 

Mulder:  Funny.  I knew a couple of Catholic schoolgirls who were experts at it.

 

 

[I'll have to assume Scully wasn't one of them.  L  Raise your hand if you'd like to sign up for training!  No such thing as too many snake handlers in the world, as far as Bob is concerned.]
