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
There's nothing like having a great friends when you see them, you get that joy - that you can't really compare it with anything else.
Zooey Deschanel
The average person tells a few white lies.
Zooey Deschanel
I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.
Zooey Deschanel
I started out doing musicals.
Zooey Deschanel
In making a record there are so fewer people involved - at least in our case. There were no more than three or four people in the studio at once. So I really feel like I can stand by everything on the record and say this is something that I personally endorse.
Zooey Deschanel
My nursery school did a production of 'The Three Little Pigs.' I played the third pig. When the wolf knocked on my door, I refused to get up and answer it because, to me, he was knocking the wrong way. I just lay there, snoring away on stage, fully immersed in my character. My dad turned to my mom and said: 'Dustin Hoffman.'
Zooey Deschanel
I don't know how to explain how, probably to my detriment, unselfpromoting I am. I used to have a cabaret act and I didn't even like to tell me people about that. I really hate selling myself.
Zooey Deschanel
I've never pursued a role. I always hear stories about actors going after parts and I'm, like, 'How do they do that?' It seems so weird. It seems like a total myth or something.
Zooey Deschanel
For those of us who try to keep remembering, Try to do our better than our best. Think of all the children in the drifts of snow. Winners never quit, but winters never rest.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm not cynical about love at all. I'm very practical. I think love takes up a lot of time.
Zooey Deschanel
True love that lasts forever... yes, I do believe in it. My parents have been married for 40 years and my grandparents were married for 70 years. I come from a long line of true loves.
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 like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.
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
The internet's like one big bathroom wall with a lot of people who anonymously can say really mean things. It's fine, I believe in freedom of speech and I think people should think what they want, but I don't care to hear it.
Zooey Deschanel
I think every year I become happier because I become more comfident and more comfortable in my own skin.
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
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
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
I'm not playing a comedy. I want to be playing the truth of the moment, and then have the comedy come out.
