Women I admired growing up - Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep - were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin. There are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny - much, much too skinny. You can't Pilates to that.

More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.
Zooey Deschanel
I'll have these internal moments where I'm empathizing with someone else or feeling something myself, but I'm like, How can I see the best in this situation? Sometimes those are the moments where you can have the most clarity.
Zooey Deschanel
I'll write and make chords with my voice sometimes if I don't have an instrument even though it takes a million times longer.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't like to plan harmonies too much, because there's something fun that happens when you just sing a pass, then sing another pass, and layer them on top of each other.
Zooey Deschanel
I also feel like it's the right of the people hearing them to have their own interpretations of what these songs mean. Sometimes people will see things that I don't see.
Zooey Deschanel
When I was 13, I wasn't the coolest kid in my class, and that inner dork is a wonderful thing to have.
Zooey Deschanel
I always have loved music, ever since I was really little. I just loved to sing. I can't really explain it, except maybe - and this is going to sound really stupid - when I would listen to a song it would make me more excited than anything else could.

Zooey Deschanel
It's interesting, because as a musician, I don't feel like I need to be on the top of the pop charts.
Zooey Deschanel
If 'New Girl' had been a movie, I don't know whether I would have been given the opportunity to do it.
Zooey Deschanel
I would say I know nothing about the music business, in a nice sort of way. I totally forgot I was in that music video. That's so funny.
Zooey Deschanel
If you can make a character likable that's not very nice, that's the challenge of the job.
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
It's very much a piece of myself when I write a song. I don't mean to say it's very personal, like the lyrics mean something personal to me. When I write a song, that's my taste in music - my taste in chord progressions and melodies.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn't feel true, I don't want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that's why I don't always fit into the world of performing arts.
Zooey Deschanel
Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.
Zooey Deschanel
In my mind, I always think of myself as an underdog type.
Zooey Deschanel
I really like the collaboration of doing movies and television. But I like the sort of solitary work of doing music.
