Now that he’ll be turning 55, on August 7, how does he feel at this point in his life?
“I
feel good about the place I’m at. The past year was really fulfilling
in that I have an album out (Hell or High Water) a novel coming out
(Bucky F**king Dent) and I’m expressing myself in different ways.” He
smiles. “I don’t feel like I have anything to prove,” Duchovny told to Australian News.
And how will he celebrate the big day?
“Shooting the X-Files,” he chuckles.
Though he doesn’t give much away in terms of plot points, he says,
“Being on the set, it feels more creative. It’s interesting; it’s not
going to be the same,” he says. “It can’t be. But working with Gillian
feels very familiar. We worked together for so long and we have that
connection to fall back on.”
Speaking of their ‘connection,’ a
video of Duchovny and Anderson performing songs from his album at New
York club, The Cutting Room, went viral, sending X-File fans into a
frenzy after they kissed on stage in what seemed to be a good PR
opportunity for the lead-up to the show. He jokes. “Well, you know, rock
‘n roll guys get all the girls.”
