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
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
Zooey Deschanel
Know what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure.
Zooey Deschanel
After staring at origami directions long enough, you sort of become one with them and start understanding them from the inside.
Zooey Deschanel
A lot of people work out to be skinny. That's so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman.
Zooey Deschanel
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.
Zooey Deschanel
For those of you who tried, but didn't make it, Settle down it's never what you think. The summit doesn't differ from the deep, dark valley, And the valley doesn't differ from the kitchen sink.
