More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
My sister and I do to what we love to do and do what we want to do, so that sort of started us off having a sense of 'Do this because you love it' not 'Do this because you want to be famous.'
Zooey Deschanel
I'm the worst at picking what movies are going to do well. I have no idea. I'm really surprised if a movie I like does well.
Zooey Deschanel
I just feel like growing up in Los Angeles, you learn, 'Well you're never gonna be the prettiest girl in the room, so just don't even try.' I mean, I care about being pretty, but it's not my most valued thing.
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.

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.

There are so many cute vintage dresses made out of synthetics from the '60s and '70s - but they're so itchy and hot. It's not worth it!

There's something about guitars, they're just so big, you know what I mean? You're just like, 'Ugh!' It just seems so overwhelming. And the ukulele is, like, the opposite of overwhelming.
Zooey Deschanel
For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.
Zooey Deschanel
When I was 13, I wasn't the coolest kid in my class, and that inner dork is a wonderful thing to have.
Zooey Deschanel
I've had experiences where I wasn't allowed to change words around at all because you have to say everything, exactly as written on the page. That's not fun for me. For me, part of being an actor is being able to contribute to a character's rhythms. If there's room to explore, you find a happy medium.
Zooey Deschanel
In a lot of movies, you'll see people on crazy dates, and you're like, 'No one would ever do that!'
Zooey Deschanel
I think comedy's just about being interested in comedy and what makes people laugh and experimenting.
Zooey Deschanel
I think the best comedies came out during the Depression. Personally.
Zooey Deschanel
I also feel like it's the right of the people hearing them to have their own interpretations of what these songs mean. Sometimes people will see things that I don't see.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm not going to say I'm a big girl. I'm a very small person, but I'm a healthy weight. That might be a little weird for Hollywood.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm a romantic, but I'm not a romantic in the traditional sense. I like to romanticize what happens to me. Whatever happens to me - you could quantify it as good or bad - I romanticize it. I think along the lines of 'When that thing happened, it made me who I am.' That kind of thing. It's a different way of being romantic.
Zooey Deschanel
I have Pro Tools on my computer, and I make CDs all the time.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm not playing a comedy. I want to be playing the truth of the moment, and then have the comedy come out.
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.
Zooey Deschanel
I try to be authentic - but at the same time I don't really want people prying into my personal life.
