More quotes by Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel
I don't think there are that many awesome roles out there, whether we're talking about movies or TV.

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.
Zooey Deschanel
Take it back Oh, take it back I don't want your lovin', anymore Let me live Oh, let me live It's not you who I sing for
Zooey Deschanel
I get really insecure because even though I can speak in musician's terms, I don't know as much as real musicians.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't think I'm very much like anyone else, really. I'm sure there are aspects of other actors that I share, but I don't see anybody else and go, Damn, they stole my thing. I'm me, and I like that there are people who have an appreciation for that.
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
If I were to work with my mom, I probably would not want her to play my mom. That would get too real.
Zooey Deschanel
It's a lot harder to do an ensemble because your energy is going in so many different places, and you have to cover everybody. You have to sort of split your attention.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm not really that interested in pandering to an audience of people that are going to judge me before they hear me. If they hear it and don't like it, that's totally fine.
Zooey Deschanel
