I ask if his daughter had read this latest book. “I don’t think [so] … It’s like seeing your dad naked in a way. I don’t necessarily want to read my dad’s stuff. I don’t blame [her].” Amram moved to Boston soon after his divorce, remarried, and later retired in Paris where he died of heart disease in 2003. Duchovny discovered his father’s unpublished second book, A Lifetime Is Once, in a drawer after he passed; as a sequel to Coney, it was more autobiographical of his adult life and included commentary about his children, with whom he suffered some distance. “It was painful at the time,” Duchovny says. “It put me in a position that I suppose I put my children in, which is of walking into that kind of gray area … But when I’m dead, I hope that [my children] can go to the books and say, ‘Oh, that was Dad.’”
Now I want to read his dad's book !
Over the course of our conversation, Duchovny has periodically scooted his chair closer, trying to remain in the shade. “I’m not getting fresh,” he says with a grin. The tide is inching nearer as well, and we have to speak up over the tumbling surf. We discuss the 20 new songs he recently wrote, his next films, and I’m wondering at his energy for all of this. I tell him so. “You’re tireless, David.”
“I’m tired,” he replies without hesitation, laughing. “I’m not tired, I’m just, what am I tired of, honestly …” There’s a long pause as he gathers his thoughts. Another wave smacks and falls away. “I’m tired of the fear that I’m going to do the same thing just because I’m afraid — that if I’ve had some success, that I’m going to try to chase that. I’m tired of feeling like I have to prove myself … And you know, I’m 61, and I see it coming …” He holds his hand out into the sunlight, gesturing at the future, and I notice a constellation of age spots. “I want to make sure I say it all, if I can. That’s why we’re all here, to give our interpretation of it.”

You're in his DMs I'm in his control center room where I'm gently caressing his bundled sensory wires and twisting the positive sensory input wires in my fingers

With RvB officially nearing its final season, I thought I'd finally get around to coming up with face hc's for my favorite blue boys.
Edit: I've written up a more in-depth thought process for the designs if anyone was interested in reading it
