I don't have control over what's on screen, and that's terrifying.
Zooey Deschanel
If people just want to be famous, that's just not enough to get you up at 4 in the morning to go to work. You have to love what you're doing.

I like acting with no lines because all of a sudden you're able to express things without always worrying about the text. It's great to have a great text, but there's a lot of stuff you can't say in words, and I think there's something really nice about good physical moments.

I love movies and I love to watch movies and being a part of the whole film experience. Being a filmgoer is a unique experience, and it can affect you on so many levels. But being an actor in movies you often have a very narrow palette for expressing yourself.

I put myself out there it's part of my job, and I get it: people will attack me. At first I was thrown off, but now I have a pretty thick skin about it.
Zooey Deschanel
I think making a movie or a record, the best things happen by accident - and those end up being the magic. Every time I've followed my gut it's been better than when I've tried to do what I was supposed to do.
Zooey Deschanel
I wasn't really the most charming person, socially - it took me a long time to develop my people skills - but the one place I was always comfortable was onstage, acting or singing.
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 not cynical about love at all. I'm very practical. I think love takes up a lot of time.

I work almost completely year-round, since I was 18 or 19. It's nine months a year, and then you're out of town, (there are) crazy hours and all of the things that go with filmmaking, which is a pretty all-consuming business, although I'm very blessed to be a part of it.

I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?
Zooey Deschanel
I don't think there are that many awesome roles out there, whether we're talking about movies or TV.
Zooey Deschanel
I've always had a really great time being in movies and writing music when I get home. The more creative I am, the more it feeds into other creative aspects of my life.
