I have a music career as well, so I was going to either be an actress or a musician. Then, I did both. But, I was always going to do something creative.

More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.
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
You go to something like the Golden Globes, and it's the most glamorous place you could ever be, but then you go home and you're still like, 'Urgh, this dress is too tight, I wanna take off these shoes and put on my pyjamas.' At the end of the night all the glamour goes away and you're just a human.
Zooey Deschanel
When you work on a movie, especially an independent movie, it's a lot of work to make it! It's not just our job as actors - so many people are working so hard, and even the littlest movie takes a lot of work.
Zooey Deschanel
That people equate being girlie with being nonthreatening … I mean, I can't think of a more blatant example of playing into exactly the thing that we're trying to fight against. I can't be girlie? I think the fact that people are associating being girlie with weakness, that needs to be examined. I don't think that it undermines my power at all.
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
That is so personal, and it’s my pet peeve when people press you on it. And it’s always women who get asked! Is anybody saying that to George Clooney?
Zooey Deschanel
I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.
Zooey Deschanel
My sister was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff.
Zooey Deschanel
It's really fun to say no sometimes. I just don't want to discount how fun it is to say no and exercise your right to say no, and - as a girl - it's important to know how to say no... and that no means no!
Zooey Deschanel
In a sense, I like to think of the live performance as something different than the record, not necessarily looking to exactly recreate the record. Sometimes Matt and I just do duets folk-style. Part of the fun of seeing a live show is having it be different from the way that you hear it in your bedroom or wherever you listen to music.
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.
Zooey Deschanel
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.
Zooey Deschanel
I grew up believing my sister was from the planet Neptune and had been sent down to Earth to kill me.
Zooey Deschanel
Blossoming and unfolding are basically the same thing, but blossoming is more romantic.
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
It's strange because a lot of people are like, 'You can't change human nature-people are inherently negative.' I don't think that's true. If you expect the best from people, they'll step up.
Zooey Deschanel
Everyone romanticizes somebody.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm a very positive person. I get excited easily, and I like to jump around.
Zooey Deschanel
One of the privileges of doing television is the ability to evaluate my own performance and try to improve upon it.
