When you have endless time, you take all day to go to the grocery store. But, if you have to be at work for 14 hours a day, you manage your time better. I know I do.

More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
A lot of people work out to be skinny. That's so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't have control over what's on screen, and that's terrifying.
Zooey Deschanel
The first job I ever had was singing in a jazz club when I was like 15 with my friend, and we earned like 70 bucks. We were like, 'Oh my God!'
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 love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.
Zooey Deschanel
Sites like Funny or Die and College Humor are great, but I'd say it's appealing to 80% men and 20% women.
Zooey Deschanel
It's really fun to say no sometimes. I just don't want to discount how fun it is to say no and exercise your right to say no, and - as a girl - it's important to know how to say no... and that no means no!
Zooey Deschanel
You can't expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.
Zooey Deschanel
In an ideal world no one would talk before 10am. People would just hug, because waking up is really hard.
Zooey Deschanel
If I'm going to be 'too' anything, 'too cute' is fine. I love puppies. So what? Who hates puppies?
Zooey Deschanel
The first album I bought with my own money was 'A Hard Day's Night.'
Zooey Deschanel
In making a movie, you're part of a big machine. Even in a small movie there are still so many people involved in the process, and it costs so much money to make.
Zooey Deschanel
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've had experiences where I wasn't allowed to change words around at all because you have to say everything, exactly as written on the page. That's not fun for me. For me, part of being an actor is being able to contribute to a character's rhythms. If there's room to explore, you find a happy medium.
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'm wary about this thing about being in the generation of social networking where people are like, 'I am my musical taste.' I am not just a collection of music. Or a collection of movies. I think that's a thing that people romanticize: 'Oh my God, she likes this band so she is a dream.'
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'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
I love to play music, and this is fun, and let's record this stuff in a way that we both like. That was exciting enough, so we just recorded it. There was no business in it until the very last minute, really. It was really as much of an extension of me writing the songs in my bedroom as it could possibly be.
Zooey Deschanel
One of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it's my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs.
