More quotes by 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.

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.'

Love is individual to each person and I don’t think you can define it before experiencing it because it isn’t going to be the same for everybody.
Zooey Deschanel
I feel like songwriting is an experiment in empathy.
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 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
I get really insecure because even though I can speak in musician's terms, I don't know as much as real musicians.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, 'Blah blah blah movies.' I find it incredibly boring.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm a big fan of the '80s fantasy genre that I grew up watching, movies like Krull and Clash of the Titans and Time Bandits and all that stuff.

I have been a harmony enthusiast since I was a child, singing in choir and with friends growing up. I always put a ton of harmonies on my demos.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm not really that interested in pandering to an audience of people that are going to judge me before they hear me. If they hear it and don't like it, that's totally fine.

I think that if you're serving yourself before you're serving a story then that's where you end up being not funny. It's not about being funny, it's about telling a story and then the comedy comes out of the situation, I think.
