For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.

I'm not cynical about love at all. I'm very practical. I think love takes up a lot of time.

I love to play music, and this is fun, and let's record this stuff in a way that we both like. That was exciting enough, so we just recorded it. There was no business in it until the very last minute, really. It was really as much of an extension of me writing the songs in my bedroom as it could possibly be.

If you're eight and you live in Los Angeles and everybody has toys and you go to a country that has a Marxist dictatorship and there are no toy stores and nobody speaks English and it's blazing hot every day and they only have fish, which you don't like, then you tend not to appreciate the cultural lessons you're learning.

I love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.
Zooey Deschanel

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
Nothing could be as hard as middle school.
Zooey Deschanel
I started out doing musicals.
Zooey Deschanel
I never have time to have a dinner. I have to eat while I'm memorizing lines. The only way to maintain energy is to eat all day long. I must eat all day long.
Zooey Deschanel
You go to something like the Golden Globes, and it's the most glamorous place you could ever be, but then you go home and you're still like, 'Urgh, this dress is too tight, I wanna take off these shoes and put on my pyjamas.' At the end of the night all the glamour goes away and you're just a human.

Most of my music theory knowledge is based on piano. But I write on guitar a lot, too. I'm not a great guitar player by any means. I'm not a great instrumentalist. I play piano on stage. I don't play guitar on stage, but I use it to write quite a lot.
Zooey Deschanel
I put myself out there it's part of my job, and I get it: people will attack me. At first I was thrown off, but now I have a pretty thick skin about it.
Zooey Deschanel
You can't expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.
