More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I was doing about five movies a year for many years. I was just so tired. I walked around feeling like a Mack truck hit me.
Zooey Deschanel
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.
Zooey Deschanel
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!'
Zooey Deschanel
I'm into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn't feel true, I don't want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that's why I don't always fit into the world of performing arts.
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.

I don't like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, 'Blah blah blah movies.' I find it incredibly boring.
Zooey Deschanel
I think comedy's just about being interested in comedy and what makes people laugh and experimenting.
Zooey Deschanel
Know what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure.
Zooey Deschanel
In an ideal world no one would talk before 10am. People would just hug, because waking up is really hard.
Zooey Deschanel
I remember having this friend in school who said she didn't like the Beach Boys. And in that moment I knew we couldn't be friends anymore.
Zooey Deschanel
I want to be a freaking feminist and wear a freaking Peter Pan collar. So freaking what?
Zooey Deschanel
I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal.
Zooey Deschanel
My sister and I do to what we love to do and do what we want to do, so that sort of started us off having a sense of 'Do this because you love it' not 'Do this because you want to be famous.'
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
If you can make a character likable that's not very nice, that's the challenge of the job.
Zooey Deschanel
We are all made of air There's stars in my eyes and there's sun in my hair And I'm runnin' away, it makes me feel better

Most of my music theory knowledge is based on piano. But I write on guitar a lot, too. I'm not a great guitar player by any means. I'm not a great instrumentalist. I play piano on stage. I don't play guitar on stage, but I use it to write quite a lot.
Zooey Deschanel
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
I've always had a really great time being in movies and writing music when I get home. The more creative I am, the more it feeds into other creative aspects of my life.
Zooey Deschanel
My sister was always very motherly, babysitting and stuff.
