More quotes by 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'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 always wanted to be normal. I tried really hard, but it's like I try so hard and then people still say I'm offbeat. I've learnt to accept that and take advantage of it as an actor.
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
Proving people wrong is probably my favorite thing to do.
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 like having a schedule. I tend to be the type of person that thrives on something being regular.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't know how to explain how, probably to my detriment, unselfpromoting I am. I used to have a cabaret act and I didn't even like to tell me people about that. I really hate selling myself.
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
I'm always doing something musically - when I'm working or when I'm off.
Zooey Deschanel
I just like music that sounds like music. Not like machines and computers and things that you design to make things sound slick and perfect.
Zooey Deschanel
Blossoming and unfolding are basically the same thing, but blossoming is more romantic.
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
It can make you a little crazy when you are too connected to a product.
Zooey Deschanel
I just sort of follow my bliss, so to speak, and then I see where that takes me.
Zooey Deschanel
I was never no, never no, never enough, But I can try, I can try to toughen up.
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
For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.
Zooey Deschanel
For those of us who try to keep remembering, Try to do our better than our best. Think of all the children in the drifts of snow. Winners never quit, but winters never rest.
Zooey Deschanel
I've never pursued a role. I always hear stories about actors going after parts and I'm, like, 'How do they do that?' It seems so weird. It seems like a total myth or something.
