More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I get embarrassed a lot of times getting attention, but I like being onstage. Do you know what I mean? If I'm in a crowd of people and they're all looking at me, I will feel embarrassed. It's a strange dichotomy.
Zooey Deschanel
In my mind, I always think of myself as an underdog type.
Zooey Deschanel
Sites like Funny or Die and College Humor are great, but I'd say it's appealing to 80% men and 20% women.
Zooey Deschanel
I've had experiences where I wasn't allowed to change words around at all because you have to say everything, exactly as written on the page. That's not fun for me. For me, part of being an actor is being able to contribute to a character's rhythms. If there's room to explore, you find a happy medium.
Zooey Deschanel
I grew up believing my sister was from the planet Neptune and had been sent down to Earth to kill me. I believed this because my sister Emily convinced me of it when I was a toddler. I think she'd seen Invasion of the Body Snatchers and her imagination ran away with her. There's a part of me that still believes it.

A lot of people work out to be skinny. That's so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman.
Zooey Deschanel
In an ideal world no one would talk before 10am. People would just hug, because waking up is really hard.

I love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.
Zooey Deschanel
That's one of the most exciting things for me about listening to records: It's a moment in time, and the less it's messed with the more powerful it is. I wanted at least one song on the record to be just completely about the moment.
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.
Zooey Deschanel
When I exercise, I like to take lots of different classes because I want to really apply myself and feel like I'm learning a new skill. Not that I ever want to have to demonstrate any of those skills!
Zooey Deschanel
True love that lasts forever... yes, I do believe in it. My parents have been married for 40 years and my grandparents were married for 70 years. I come from a long line of true loves.
Zooey Deschanel
I listened to a lot of Joni Mitchell in high school. She was sort of an inspiration to me. I think she's a great lyricist, and she makes interesting choices.
Zooey Deschanel
I try to be authentic - but at the same time I don't really want people prying into my personal life.
Zooey Deschanel
I'm a person who gets better with practice. Getting older is awesome - because you get more practice.
Zooey Deschanel
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.
Zooey Deschanel
It's an addiction. I love clothes. I like to go down Melrose and look in all the windows and I go to different flea markets. I have lots of costumes. You never know when you're going to have to dress up like a milkmaid from the 1600s.
Zooey Deschanel
I think my own personal style always ends up seeping into characters that I play. I've always had a very distinct idea of fashion for myself, and what a character should wear.
Zooey Deschanel
Change is hard, I should know. I should know.

I have Pro Tools on my computer, and I make CDs all the time.
