So I would just like to say that winter is one of my favorite seasons because you can bundle up and look like puffy marshmallows in the jackets that you wear. But on the bright side they can also be rather fashionable. However, I am one of those people who will not sacrifice my warmth in the name of fashion. Is that so crazy?

[dwduchovny]

I could never sacrifice my warmth for fashion because I have zero fashion sense, according to my daughter. Which is fine by me, because I can wear mismatching clothes all day everyday and not give a shit. It’s very freeing.

Alright y’all. I know we all love some trashy tv. It’s perfect for the cold months of the year. We’ve even had snow in Nashville already! What’s your favorite trashy tv? I love Bachelor nation, and let me tell you, there are some girls this season, that are so darn crazy!

Snow in Nashville? That must be a rare sight! Doesn’t usually even creep below freezing there, does it? The Bachelor shows are definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. Like The Bachelorette last year where they had to have two lead women because the first one decided to quit and run off with one of the guys after like four episodes? What a whirlwind!

Yes please don’t kill me. I think you’ll have a lot of explaining to do if they find out who does it.

Who me? Nah, I could totally talk my way out of it.

& i bet every single time they were right on top of that head or yours, am i right ?? Or you were wearing them. Are you the person who leaves their coffee on the roof of the car, cause i feel like you are. -. Dammit, why can’t we teach dogs to be good at the techy stuff too ?? I’ve had to to a bunch of trial and errors this year to even figure it out by myself, you just got lucky. Cause honestly what else are young kids good for if not that.

Either that or in my top shirt pocket! You’d think I’d look there first, but nope. I confess, that’s happened a couple times - coffee cups really aren’t durable. I know! Dogs are so smart, they can do all kinds of incredible things, especially with their sense of smell. But tech? They usually just try to nibble at it. Exactly, if I ever encounter somebody saying that they don’t ever wanna have kids, I’ll just be like “you really wanna be trying to figure out all the new tech in 20 years by yourself, huh?”

I am working on a project called Cruel Summer for Freeform, I am playing the mother to a teenage girl in the late nineteen nineties in the project.  It takes place over three different Summers in Texas.  That is exciting.  What is the novel about?  

That sounds awesome! I can’t wait to check it out when it’s eventually out. Everybody’s asking what the novel’s about, huh? It’s no fun if I tell you! Wait three more weeks and you can read it to find out. 

[dwduchovny]

cxevansx​:

Hey that’s awesome! I’ll study that, don’t worry. What’s the book about?

Good man. Ah, you see, if I told you that, I’d have to kill you. You’ll just have to read it and find out.

[dwduchovny]

 Is there any better word to describe you? I don’t think that it’s possible. can’t think of anything better, so I suppose you’ll have to live with it. I’m sorry I can’t stop laughing at like maybe your favorite book becomes a series and you are like … hopefully we get some spoilers and you get a little ad of a audio voice saying ‘ want to know more? just buy the damn book! ‘  and I can just seem random faces being like what the actual fuck?!!! probably could, maybe you should get your marketing team on to this trend before it becomes big!!

Grumpy is probably the best word to use to describe me, I’m very grumpy. It’s a great idea, right? I mean... with a lot of shows and movies now, so much of the plot is kept secret til it’s released that actors can’t talk about it much anyway. Like the Marvel people? Watch them interviewed and they can’t say anything about what they’re actually there to promote. I think I could get the ball rolling with it, get a few others in on it, and soon we’ll never have to do interviews again.

Yes. And one of them is my sister so I already knew her. As for speed dial, you could say that. I mean I was in We Will Rock You for 9 years. And he played at my wedding when I was married. I didn’t. I mean I have seen shows there but Mamma Mia wasn’t one of them. I hope I get it.

Really? Wow, so it’s very much in the family! And nine years? Wow, you’re a powerhouse of musical theater! Given your experience, you’re probably more likely to be asked to star in a Broadway revival of Mamma Mia than getting to see it, if it comes back, by the sound of it.

[dwduchovny]

I thought so too. Nothing wrong with cheating to make it sound like you’re doing more. I like that style. If I had the energy I’d write a book and expose all my friends for the witches they really are. Maybe one day. I usually am up to a lot worse than just tarot cards and pizza, I figured 2020 could use a slightly more tame Aubrey. This year though, I’m going big. Good. It’s working. We’re brain washing you with our show, David. 

Although I like to see it more as rearranging the truth, rather than simple cheating. I hope you do write a book one day, because with that unique mind of yours, I’m sure it would be a riveting bestseller. That’s what we like to hear - 2021 is the year of batshit, face everywhere Aubrey. You are, and I’m kinda okay with that.

[dwduchovny]

elitefakeginger​:

Been spending time my kids, my boyfriend, and his kids before heading back to work in Texas.  Are you working on any new projects?  

Oooh boyfriend, huh? Look at you go. What are you working on in Texas? Yeah, I’m hoping to have a new album out this year. Also a novel coming out soon. So a couple plates spinning right now.

[dwduchovny]

Perfect plan! I think the staggering will work as it allows one to accept it slowly rather than going cold turkey and doing it all at once. Something so lovely about twinkling lights and the comfort of a tree… If I was crazy, I’d swap all the ornaments for reds and pinks and whites and call it my Valentine’s Day tree. THEN my daughter might think I’m crazy, but for now, I think she too will be happy to let it linger if only for a bit longer.

There we go! West likes keeping fairy lights up in her room all year round, and I kinda wanna adopt that idea around the apartment, at least during the winter months, to make it feel a bit more cozy. Kids always suspect their parents are a little crazy... and they’d be right.

Well, my inability to commit has definitely brought some issues but I’m getting over that. Right? We should start normalizing being messes. I think it makes us more interesting than those people who have everything figured out. We live in the moment, and that’s less stressful if you ask me. Amen to that, my friend, and I’m with you on the tiredness. I’m sorryyy, I don’t watch a lot of shows, for some reason I always start but never finish. But I WILL add it to my watch list, because you’re right, Gillian Anderson is a very good incentive. I didn’t even know you sang, I need to watch your YouTube videos or something. I’m definitely not musically gifted, but I love to draw and paint so maybe there’s hope for me after all.

I’ve definitely been there before. Exactly, most people are a mess anyway - some are just better at hiding it. I’d rather admit that I’m a mess, and not have to think about how people perceive me. See? Gillian Anderson is a good enough reason to watch anything. Have you seen her in Sex Education? She’s great in that. Can’t believe I wasn’t asked to play her ex husband in the show. Well, I write and sing my own songs, but I’m okay with admitting that I’m not gonna be winning any kind of awards for my vocals any time soon. I do it because I enjoy it, and that’s that. There we go, you don’t have to be the best at something for you to enjoy doing it.

You lost your crown ?! What kinda king are you, david !! I guess i’ll just have to get you another, but  you better glue it to your head -  & oh wow, the struggle that this year brought involving my lack of technical skills were really shaken up when it came to zoom. At least you had a kid to show you !! did you manage to keep muting yourself and getting kicked from calls, cause i sure did. Made for some great promos.

I lose my glasses all the time! This shouldn’t be a surprise. No, I just made sure I didn’t press any buttons, and let the person on the other end do all the techy stuff. And if I had to do it on my side, I’d just ask Miller how to do stuff. I’ve come to realize the main reason for having kids is so you’ve got somebody to show you how to use technology as you get older.

[dwduchovny]

maehq​:

Well sir David! thank you for showing your appreciation. I’m blushing because you are definitely more iconic in my book. I’d like to think I do have some amazing taste but you know I think the more I talk to you, I might have to binge the show once again, so thank you for THAT.  wow, you just charmed your way into a book being sold once it’s out.  I give that promo a 10 / 10! 

Me? Iconic? You flatter me. I just got lucky. I think you should, just saying. I don’t know why people spend so much money on press tours when all they need is a soundbite saying “check this thing out to find out more about it”. Easy. Could save millions.

[dwduchovny]

cxevansx​:

I try and remember what I’ve done, because it can be asked about it any interview, but when you’re having a lazy moment and you kinda forget? Not good.  I know you said something about a book, just can’t remember the name.

That gets worse with age, let me tell you. Ah, I got you there. My latest book is called Truly Like Lightning. Make sure to write that down somewhere, because there will be a pop quiz next week. 

[dwduchovny]

mazzmurray-hwe​:

Thank you. And yes, we all at some point were in We Will Rock You. So we had met him. And I may have been the one that convinced him to work with us on the song. Oh, we all love that pink guitar. I have to say that I never saw Mamma Mia on Broadway. But I have seen clips.

Ah, I see - that makes the ensemble make more sense. You did? That’s amazing. You got him on speed dial or something? All my guitars are pretty ordinary looking, so maybe a nice new pink one in the way to go. You didn’t? I guess if you’re busy doing shows in London, it’s hard to get out to see all the shows on Broadway, too. Maybe if it reopens, you’ll get to see it!
