My mom told me when I get compliments to cover my ears.
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 nice that there are movies and songs about romance - it's what motivates us as human beings. I'm all for being brainwashed by rom-coms.
Zooey Deschanel
I feel like I can't fully understand what's happening now until I really understand what's happened before. But you do get sort of bogged down a little bit when you're trying to study so many years' worth of music. It can be a little bit overwhelming.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't like plain nails. I get sad.
Zooey Deschanel
I want to be a freaking feminist and wear a freaking Peter Pan collar. So freaking what?

I went to Northwestern because I had gone to a really nontraditional high school. I was like, 'It'd be cool to have a traditional college experience.' Then I was like, 'Oh, but none of these people understand what's cool about me. My specialness is not appreciated in this place.'
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
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 would watch 'Wizard of Oz,' like every day, when I was two. I had a hard time understanding that I couldn't go into the film, because it felt so real to me.
Zooey Deschanel
Oh my God, there are so many songs I wish I had written. 'Waters of March,' I wish I had written 'My Baby Just Cares for Me,' I wish I had written 'This Will Be Our Year,' I mean, there's millions of them. 'Wouldn't It Be Nice?'
Zooey Deschanel
For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.
Zooey Deschanel
After staring at origami directions long enough, you sort of become one with them and start understanding them from the inside.
Zooey Deschanel
There are lots of things that everyone else likes that I hate. So I feel that audience rights are very important. I just want people to hear it and decide if they like it or don't like it as they would with anything else.
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 really like the collaboration of doing movies and television. But I like the sort of solitary work of doing music.
Zooey Deschanel
For those of you who tried, but didn't make it, Settle down it's never what you think. The summit doesn't differ from the deep, dark valley, And the valley doesn't differ from the kitchen sink.
Zooey Deschanel
I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.
