I tend to like simple music. And clever, succinct lyrics. Songs that don't try to be more than they need to to be effective, to stir up something emotionally within you.

More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
And you go into a supermarket and every tabloid is like, 'Pregnant and Alone!' Stuck in the 1950s ideal of how a woman should live her life. This brings out the fiery feminist in me.

If you can make a character likable that's not very nice, that's the challenge of the job.

I feel like I can't fully understand what's happening now until I really understand what's happened before. But you do get sort of bogged down a little bit when you're trying to study so many years' worth of music. It can be a little bit overwhelming.

I love movies and I love to watch movies and being a part of the whole film experience. Being a filmgoer is a unique experience, and it can affect you on so many levels. But being an actor in movies you often have a very narrow palette for expressing yourself.

There are a lot of actors who will sit here and talk to you about characters - 'He does this, and she's a really interesting character because she does this.' I'm not like that at all. I'm not an actory actor.

Zooey Deschanel
I'm always trying to do stuff I haven't done before or challenge myself so I'm not resting on my laurels all of the time because if I just found my little niche and never left it, I'd be pretty boring, I think.

My sister was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff.
Zooey Deschanel
I like to learn things slow, I like learning alot, I like to get it all again and in the end, You know you get what you got...
Zooey Deschanel
I don't like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, 'Blah blah blah movies.' I find it incredibly boring.

I have had brown hair and bangs since I was 2. One year I dyed it blonde, which felt so weird.
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.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't have control over what's on screen, and that's terrifying.
Zooey Deschanel
Know what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure.

I mean, the idea that it might help somebody out or help somebody make the decision to become a stewardess or otherwise... No, that's one of the nice things about making music or making movies, is that art does have the power to affect people. I feel really privileged to be a part of that.
Zooey Deschanel
I remember having this friend in school who said she didn't like the Beach Boys. And in that moment I knew we couldn't be friends anymore.
