More quotes by 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
Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.
Zooey Deschanel
I get embarrassed a lot of times getting attention, but I like being onstage. Do you know what I mean? If I'm in a crowd of people and they're all looking at me, I will feel embarrassed. It's a strange dichotomy.
Zooey Deschanel
I put myself out there it's part of my job, and I get it: people will attack me. At first I was thrown off, but now I have a pretty thick skin about it.
Zooey Deschanel
There are a million examples of not feeling the jazz, but using the jazz.

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

Zooey Deschanel
I'm always interested in hearing how other people read and react to my songs. I hadn't thought of it in just that way.
Zooey Deschanel
I think every year I become happier because I become more comfident and more comfortable in my own skin.
Zooey Deschanel
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.
Zooey Deschanel
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.
Zooey Deschanel
Know what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure.
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
Everyone needs a theme song! It should make you feel like a million dollars.
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
I try to be authentic - but at the same time I don't really want people prying into my personal life.
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.
