More quotes by 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
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!

I like romantic comedy as a genre, but I think it can get stuck in its ways.
Zooey Deschanel
I did go through this period where girls would be mean and I had a lot of guy friends. But I've found as an adult the importance of having female and male friends.

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
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’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?
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 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.

I love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.
