David Duchovny's 1997 Golden Globes Acceptance Speech

"Everything Gillian said except gender-flipped [laughter]. I was here about seven years ago, I wasn't nominated, I wasn't even working. I was a guest of my manager Melanie Green, who in turn was a guest of Michelle Pfeifer and David Kelly, and I never dreamed that I'd be up here, six or seven years later, holding one of these things, and the oddest thing about the memory is that we had better seats on that night [laughter]. I want to thank Chris Carter, who's a friend, a mentor, a mench, who's written the best show on television. Everybody in Vancouver that works so hard, works their asses off, or as they say up there, their 'arses' [laughter]; Gillian Anderson, the best co-star anybody could have, all the writers, my beautiful book-ends, Melanie Green and Lisa Shapiro, Perry Reeves for making the first two and a half years bearable, and happy birthday Mom, tomorrow."
