More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
What led me to be an actor is that I have a strange something in me that can drastically change the way I appear to the world. Growing up, I couldn't understand why people would always have different ideas of me - but because of that I became aware of how you can manipulate your own ability to change. And then I learned to make a career of it.

I have trouble actually describing myself because I'm always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I'm like, OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?
Zooey Deschanel
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?

In an ideal world no one would talk before 10am. People would just hug, because waking up is really hard.

My sister was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff.

I always wanted to be normal. I tried really hard, but it's like I try so hard and then people still say I'm offbeat. I've learnt to accept that and take advantage of it as an actor.

One thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.

I would watch 'Wizard of Oz,' like every day, when I was two. I had a hard time understanding that I couldn't go into the film, because it felt so real to me.
Zooey Deschanel
I've personally never wanted to be 'the babe', and refuse to let vanity get in the way of my acting because I don't see my job as being a beautiful person.
Zooey Deschanel
In a sense, I like to think of the live performance as something different than the record, not necessarily looking to exactly recreate the record. Sometimes Matt and I just do duets folk-style. Part of the fun of seeing a live show is having it be different from the way that you hear it in your bedroom or wherever you listen to music.
Zooey Deschanel
In a lot of movies, you'll see people on crazy dates, and you're like, 'No one would ever do that!'
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 don't like to plan harmonies too much, because there's something fun that happens when you just sing a pass, then sing another pass, and layer them on top of each other.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm a big fan of the '80s fantasy genre that I grew up watching, movies like Krull and Clash of the Titans and Time Bandits and all that stuff.
Zooey Deschanel
I like singing as much as I like acting, and all through high school I thought I might be a Broadway singer.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm a person who gets better with practice. Getting older is awesome - because you get more practice.

There's a vegan and gluten-free bakery called BabyCakes that I love. They've got shops in New York and Los Angeles. Their stuff is amazing.

I don't thrive in a word-perfect environment.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm always interested in hearing how other people read and react to my songs. I hadn't thought of it in just that way.
Zooey Deschanel
I get embarrassed a lot of times getting attention, but I like being onstage. Do you know what I mean? If I'm in a crowd of people and they're all looking at me, I will feel embarrassed. It's a strange dichotomy.
