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.

More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I think the best comedies came out during the Depression. Personally.
Zooey Deschanel
People sometimes say, 'Oh, you were a movie star,' and I'm like, 'No, I was a supporting actress.' I wasn't an A-list actress, and I'm fine with that. I'm proud of what I did in film.
Zooey Deschanel
I think that it's our responsibility to create a world in which girls can grow up and not have to limit their dreams or possibilities.
Zooey Deschanel
I've always straddled a weird line - there's a lot of mainstream stuff that I love. At the same, I still feel like an outsider. I'm the outsider who's on the inside.
Zooey Deschanel
I was never no, never no, never enough, But I can try, I can try to toughen up.
Zooey Deschanel
Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling.
Zooey Deschanel
I love indie movies. I think that independent cinema is where it's at and where a lot of trends begin. It's where new filmmakers are breaking through.
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
Humor is a part of spirituality.
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
'Pastoralia' by George Saunders is one of my favorite novels.
Zooey Deschanel
Well, my piano's really beautiful. I actually have two pianos. I have a Yamaha upright from the '60s that's blond, wood, and black, and I also have one from the '20s from Chicago - not a well-known brand or anything.
Zooey Deschanel
Yeah, well, we were looking for something sort of anonymous. It suggests what it is, but I like that it's modest. I feel like that's an underrated virtue. It's modest and it's kind of anonymous, which I liked, because it reminds me of my own ideas about why music should be played, which is not to be a star. That was never my intention.
Zooey Deschanel
I have trouble actually describing myself because I'm always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I'm like, OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?
Zooey Deschanel
I LOVE DOWNTOWN LA and I relish any opportunity to spend time there.
Zooey Deschanel
I just sort of follow my bliss, so to speak, and then I see where that takes me.
Zooey Deschanel
I try to be authentic - but at the same time I don't really want people prying into my personal life.
Zooey Deschanel
I think penguins are cute.
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 think the best comedic actors don't play it for comedy, they play it for reality. Then you find it funny because it's real. Playing the genre is the worst thing you can do - it's embarrassing.
