I wasn't really the most charming person, socially - it took me a long time to develop my people skills - but the one place I was always comfortable was onstage, acting or singing.

More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.
Zooey Deschanel
It's an addiction. I love clothes. I like to go down Melrose and look in all the windows and I go to different flea markets. I have lots of costumes. You never know when you're going to have to dress up like a milkmaid from the 1600s.
Zooey Deschanel
It can make you a little crazy when you are too connected to a product.
Zooey Deschanel
Certain aspects of my personality are always going to come out on-screen. I guess that's just me - if they say I'm quirky, I'm quirky. It's better than being boring.
Zooey Deschanel
I think making a movie or a record, the best things happen by accident - and those end up being the magic. Every time I've followed my gut it's been better than when I've tried to do what I was supposed to do.
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
Every show is unique some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that's just the way they do things. It's like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it's due.
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
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.
Zooey Deschanel
Not that there is anything wrong with confessional songwriting, there are plenty of people that do that I admire. I think it is great it just isn't how I do things.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't have control over what's on screen, and that's terrifying.
Zooey Deschanel
The red-carpet thing of premieres and parties is probably my least favourite part of my job.
Zooey Deschanel
Love is individual to each person and I don’t think you can define it before experiencing it because it isn’t going to be the same for everybody.
Zooey Deschanel
I like to play the ukulele, but I'm not, like, awesome at it. I mostly play the piano and the guitar.
Zooey Deschanel
Growing up in Hollywood meant there were a lot of film stars' kids at my school - but no conspicuous wealth. It wasn't cool to show off that you had money.
Zooey Deschanel
I feel there are tone singers, and there are more vocal gymnastics singers. And I think that's amazing when people can do that, but I think there's room for the tone singers. And there aren't a lot of them.
Zooey Deschanel
I've always had a really great time being in movies and writing music when I get home. The more creative I am, the more it feeds into other creative aspects of my life.
Zooey Deschanel
Why don't we just sit and stare and do nothing? Nothing at all for a while I like the way you smile I could be your state and I could be your nation It doesn't get better than home, now does it?
Zooey Deschanel
What led me to be an actor is that I have a strange something in me that can drastically change the way I appear to the world. Growing up, I couldn't understand why people would always have different ideas of me - but because of that I became aware of how you can manipulate your own ability to change. And then I learned to make a career of it.
Zooey Deschanel
If I'm going to be 'too' anything, 'too cute' is fine. I love puppies. So what? Who hates puppies?
