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.

More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I really like the collaboration of doing movies and television. But I like the sort of solitary work of doing music.
Zooey Deschanel
I think that the mistakes that anyone can make going on dates is probably not being themselves because you can only trick people for so long.
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
I feel like making music because - and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record - there's more of myself in it.
Zooey Deschanel
In a sense, I like to think of the live performance as something different than the record, not necessarily looking to exactly recreate the record. Sometimes Matt and I just do duets folk-style. Part of the fun of seeing a live show is having it be different from the way that you hear it in your bedroom or wherever you listen to music.
Zooey Deschanel
When you work on a movie, especially an independent movie, it's a lot of work to make it! It's not just our job as actors - so many people are working so hard, and even the littlest movie takes a lot of work.
Zooey Deschanel
If I'm going to be 'too' anything, 'too cute' is fine. I love puppies. So what? Who hates puppies?
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.
Zooey Deschanel
Do your eye shadow first, then your foundation. That way, you can clean up any mess without starting all over again.
Zooey Deschanel
I sort of consider myself a comedic actress, not a comedienne. I think it's different. You know, I'm not a stand-up or anything, but playing into comedic situations is sort of where, I think, my strength lies.
Zooey Deschanel
Girls get competitive, as though there's only one spot in the world for everything _ but that's not true. We need to stick together and see there's more to life than pleasing men. It's important not to cut yourself off from female friendships. I think sometimes girls get scared of other girls, but you need each other.
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.
Zooey Deschanel
Everyone romanticizes somebody.
Zooey Deschanel
I find sadness and strife to be so much more interesting with an upbeat melody.
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 accidentally entered a youth pageant when I was 14. That's like a beauty pageant, but without the beauty. It was terrible.
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
After staring at origami directions long enough, you sort of become one with them and start understanding them from the inside.
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
Being an actress can be a little like being a girl in the '50s: You're stuck waiting by the phone, hoping that the boy you like will call.
