More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
Women I admired growing up - Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep - were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin. There are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny - much, much too skinny. You can't Pilates to that.

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
I find sadness and strife to be so much more interesting with an upbeat melody.

Writing music is really personal, and it's a really exciting thing to participate in because represents the full creative process: It feels like something is coming from nothing.

It's really fun to say no sometimes. I just don't want to discount how fun it is to say no and exercise your right to say no, and - as a girl - it's important to know how to say no... and that no means no!

I gravitate towards happy music. I love the Beach Boys.

I'm not cynical about love at all. I'm very practical. I think love takes up a lot of time.

I'm a person who has a lot of energy. So, yes, I don't really stop to rest or de-stress. I just keep going. I figure that if you don't stop, then you'll never notice how tired you are.

I always have loved music, ever since I was really little. I just loved to sing. I can't really explain it, except maybe - and this is going to sound really stupid - when I would listen to a song it would make me more excited than anything else could.
Zooey Deschanel
You can't expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.

I like to play the ukulele, but I'm not, like, awesome at it. I mostly play the piano and the guitar.
Zooey Deschanel
I hate camping, but I love summer camp.
Zooey Deschanel
In an ideal world no one would talk before 10am. People would just hug, because waking up is really hard.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, 'I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.' That's a very good way to keep women down.
Zooey Deschanel
I feel like songwriting is an experiment in empathy.
Zooey Deschanel
I think that if you're serving yourself before you're serving a story then that's where you end up being not funny. It's not about being funny, it's about telling a story and then the comedy comes out of the situation, I think.
Zooey Deschanel
It's great, because we've had some really great people playing with us who really have studied the record and been able to recreate a lot of what was done. But I would need a choir of eight, probably, to do all of the backup vocals.
Zooey Deschanel
Everyone has the heartbreak that shapes them in a way that they could never go back to the innocence that they had before.
Zooey Deschanel
I love to play music, and this is fun, and let's record this stuff in a way that we both like. That was exciting enough, so we just recorded it. There was no business in it until the very last minute, really. It was really as much of an extension of me writing the songs in my bedroom as it could possibly be.
