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.

More quotes by 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?
Zooey Deschanel
Girls get competitive, as though there's only one spot in the world for everything _ but that's not true. We need to stick together and see there's more to life than pleasing men. It's important not to cut yourself off from female friendships. I think sometimes girls get scared of other girls, but you need each other.

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
I'm always trying to do stuff I haven't done before or challenge myself so I'm not resting on my laurels all of the time because if I just found my little niche and never left it, I'd be pretty boring, I think.
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.

In making a movie, you're part of a big machine. Even in a small movie there are still so many people involved in the process, and it costs so much money to make.

I like singing as much as I like acting, and all through high school I thought I might be a Broadway singer.

I don't like plain nails. I get sad.

I think the best comedic actors don't play it for comedy, they play it for reality. Then you find it funny because it's real. Playing the genre is the worst thing you can do - it's embarrassing.
Zooey Deschanel
Yes, exactly. I think that Christmas is always used at any point in the year to cheer us up, like each other up. We would use that to cheer each other up if we were in a sad mood or something, we'd just start talking about Christmas.

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
People sometimes say, 'Oh, you were a movie star,' and I'm like, 'No, I was a supporting actress.' I wasn't an A-list actress, and I'm fine with that. I'm proud of what I did in film.
Zooey Deschanel
If people just want to be famous, that's just not enough to get you up at 4 in the morning to go to work. You have to love what you're doing.
Zooey Deschanel
I played a lot of sarcastic, wisecracking characters for a long time, and people would think that was me. And it's very much not me, and then people would think I was being sarcastic when I wasn't: 'Oh, you're making fun of me right now.' And I wasn't!
Zooey Deschanel
I can't go on Gawker. I actually think the writing is really funny, but there is a chance that somebody is undercutting me.
Zooey Deschanel
I have had brown hair and bangs since I was 2. One year I dyed it blonde, which felt so weird.
Zooey Deschanel
Oh, me? I'm not 80% water. I'm 80% coffee, and a little bit of sass.
Zooey Deschanel
Nothing could be as hard as middle school.
Zooey Deschanel
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.
Zooey Deschanel
I like to learn things slow, I like learning alot, I like to get it all again and in the end, You know you get what you got...
