More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep -feel it all. Look around you. All of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.

I think I'd say that my whole body of work is a reflection of who I am, but not any one specific thing.
Zooey Deschanel
I have trouble actually describing myself because I'm always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I'm like, OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?

I think that it's our responsibility to create a world in which girls can grow up and not have to limit their dreams or possibilities.

The first job I ever had was singing in a jazz club when I was like 15 with my friend, and we earned like 70 bucks. We were like, 'Oh my God!'

I think it's better to have your personal life and your work life separate. That way they don't corrupt each other, so to speak.
