More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling.
Zooey Deschanel
And you go into a supermarket and every tabloid is like, 'Pregnant and Alone!' Stuck in the 1950s ideal of how a woman should live her life. This brings out the fiery feminist in me.
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'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.
Zooey Deschanel
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.

Proving people wrong is probably my favorite thing to do.
Zooey Deschanel
I've always been really picky about roles and make a point of reminding myself that it's not about the money - because, obviously, there's a lot of money to be made in this business if you're willing to do anything.
Zooey Deschanel
I feel like songwriting is an experiment in empathy.
Zooey Deschanel
In making a record there are so fewer people involved - at least in our case. There were no more than three or four people in the studio at once. So I really feel like I can stand by everything on the record and say this is something that I personally endorse.
Zooey Deschanel
It's very much a piece of myself when I write a song. I don't mean to say it's very personal, like the lyrics mean something personal to me. When I write a song, that's my taste in music - my taste in chord progressions and melodies.
Zooey Deschanel
Nothing could be as hard as middle school.
Zooey Deschanel
I'd be more likely to go for somebody who is like me. Well, I like creative people, so whatever that means... Yeah, authentic and creative.
Zooey Deschanel
From my perspective, probably women are won over by people who are sweet and respectful and courteous and kind and funny. I think those are the things that win women over.
Zooey Deschanel
That's one of the most exciting things for me about listening to records: It's a moment in time, and the less it's messed with the more powerful it is. I wanted at least one song on the record to be just completely about the moment.
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
Romantic comedies are usually about when love works.
Zooey Deschanel
Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.
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
There's nothing like having a great friends when you see them, you get that joy - that you can't really compare it with anything else.

I hate camping, but I love summer camp.
