This is a star who obviously enjoys the subtle absurdities of fame, who can put some intellectual distance between his life and his public image. Aiming all that heavy lit-crit artillery at himself, he’s capable of deconstructing the text of his own celebrityhood. Which is how one ends up in a health-food restaurant listening to him quote a Roland Barthes essay on the effects of photography on its subjects.“At least I think it was Roland Barthes,” he says, biting into one of Yam’s yams. “He wrote that the camera eroticizes whatever it looks at, just by making it the focus of its gaze. Being photographed gives you a certain energy in other people’s eyes, a certain buzz. I’m the focus of millions of eyes every Friday night because the camera is photographing me. That changes the way people see me. But it has nothing to do with me—it has to do with the camera.” “No Wonder He’s Called Fox,” EW, 1995

“When I play a scene with Gillian Anderson, there are always little looks between us which mean ‘what do you think about what’s happening?’ It’s a little as if we have secrets between us. Everything is conveyed by communication beyond words. Perhaps, after all, you could interpret that as love. But from that to imagining Mulder and Scully as a couple? I don’t think that’s going to happen one day.” — (Duchovny X-Rayed. Nov, 1998)  Wrong David, wrong. But still a lovely quote, and one of the many reasons I totally think something went down between them IRL back in the day.
