You can't know if someone's really your best friend. I think the measure of that is you could not see each other for six months and then when you see each other you laugh the same way you did when you were a little kid.

I feel like making music because - and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record - there's more of myself in it.
Zooey Deschanel
Nothing's better than a picnic.

Well, my piano's really beautiful. I actually have two pianos. I have a Yamaha upright from the '60s that's blond, wood, and black, and I also have one from the '20s from Chicago - not a well-known brand or anything.

I think my own personal style always ends up seeping into characters that I play. I've always had a very distinct idea of fashion for myself, and what a character should wear.

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 went to Northwestern because I had gone to a really nontraditional high school. I was like, 'It'd be cool to have a traditional college experience.' Then I was like, 'Oh, but none of these people understand what's cool about me. My specialness is not appreciated in this place.'

Change is hard, I should know. I should know.
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
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
I think I'd say that my whole body of work is a reflection of who I am, but not any one specific thing.
Zooey Deschanel
For some reason, people look at me and laugh. I don't know why.
Zooey Deschanel
I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I'm the same person.

'Pastoralia' by George Saunders is one of my favorite novels.
Zooey Deschanel
One of the privileges of doing television is the ability to evaluate my own performance and try to improve upon it.
Zooey Deschanel
I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.

Sites like Funny or Die and College Humor are great, but I'd say it's appealing to 80% men and 20% women.

I just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.
