I'll have these internal moments where I'm empathizing with someone else or feeling something myself, but I'm like, How can I see the best in this situation? Sometimes those are the moments where you can have the most clarity.

I like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.
Zooey Deschanel
Image
I feel like I can't fully understand what's happening now until I really understand what's happened before. But you do get sort of bogged down a little bit when you're trying to study so many years' worth of music. It can be a little bit overwhelming.

I played a lot of sarcastic, wisecracking characters for a long time, and people would think that was me. And it's very much not me, and then people would think I was being sarcastic when I wasn't: 'Oh, you're making fun of me right now.' And I wasn't!

I don't think I'm very much like anyone else, really. I'm sure there are aspects of other actors that I share, but I don't see anybody else and go, Damn, they stole my thing. I'm me, and I like that there are people who have an appreciation for that.

My sister and I do to what we love to do and do what we want to do, so that sort of started us off having a sense of 'Do this because you love it' not 'Do this because you want to be famous.'

My dad turned to my mom and said: 'Dustin Hoffman.'
