Zooey Deschanel
I get really insecure because even though I can speak in musician's terms, I don't know as much as real musicians.
Zooey Deschanel
Everyone romanticizes somebody.
Zooey Deschanel
I feel there are tone singers, and there are more vocal gymnastics singers. And I think that's amazing when people can do that, but I think there's room for the tone singers. And there aren't a lot of them.
Zooey Deschanel
I like having a schedule. I tend to be the type of person that thrives on something being regular.
Zooey Deschanel
Modern recording has made it so that people can spend forever taking shortcuts and making everything uniform, but that strips music of what makes it exciting.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm a very positive person. I get excited easily, and I like to jump around.
Zooey Deschanel
I wanted to be a child actor so bad that every day I'd beg my parents if I could audition, but my mom said, 'Not until you can drive yourself to auditions.'
Zooey Deschanel
The first album I bought with my own money was 'A Hard Day's Night.'
