More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I gravitate towards happy music. I love the Beach Boys.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm not cynical about love at all. I'm very practical. I think love takes up a lot of time.
Zooey Deschanel
I think that if you haven't been to the grocery store in a really long time, it's really easy to get very out of touch.
Zooey Deschanel
I just sort of follow my bliss, so to speak, and then I see where that takes me.
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
My biggest complaint with tights is that they do not accommodate skinny-ankled people like myself.
Zooey Deschanel

Zooey Deschanel
I don't have control over what's on screen, and that's terrifying.
Zooey Deschanel
I feel like songwriting is an experiment in empathy.
Zooey Deschanel
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.
Zooey Deschanel
I've always straddled a weird line - there's a lot of mainstream stuff that I love. At the same, I still feel like an outsider. I'm the outsider who's on the inside.
Zooey Deschanel
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
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
Most of my music theory knowledge is based on piano. But I write on guitar a lot, too. I'm not a great guitar player by any means. I'm not a great instrumentalist. I play piano on stage. I don't play guitar on stage, but I use it to write quite a lot.
Zooey Deschanel
I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.
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
If you're eight and you live in Los Angeles and everybody has toys and you go to a country that has a Marxist dictatorship and there are no toy stores and nobody speaks English and it's blazing hot every day and they only have fish, which you don't like, then you tend not to appreciate the cultural lessons you're learning.
Zooey Deschanel
Making movies, you're like an independent contractor - you come in, you have a specific job, and a lot of what you do is completely manipulated, which is good and bad.
Zooey Deschanel
'Pastoralia' by George Saunders is one of my favorite novels.
Zooey Deschanel
When I exercise, I like to take lots of different classes because I want to really apply myself and feel like I'm learning a new skill. Not that I ever want to have to demonstrate any of those skills!
