More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I'm not playing a comedy. I want to be playing the truth of the moment, and then have the comedy come out.
Zooey Deschanel
There are lots of things that everyone else likes that I hate. So I feel that audience rights are very important. I just want people to hear it and decide if they like it or don't like it as they would with anything else.
Zooey Deschanel
I don't know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, 'I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.' That's a very good way to keep women down.
Zooey Deschanel
I find sadness and strife to be so much more interesting with an upbeat melody.
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.

I think my knowledge of music theory is rooted in jazz theory, and a lot of the writers of standards - Rodgers and Hart, and Gershwin.

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!

I don't know how to explain how, probably to my detriment, unselfpromoting I am. I used to have a cabaret act and I didn't even like to tell me people about that. I really hate selling myself.

It can make you a little crazy when you are too connected to a product.
Zooey Deschanel
Women I admired growing up - Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep - were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin. There are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny - much, much too skinny. You can't Pilates to that.
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 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
If I could give my teenaged self any advice, it would be 'Calm down!'
Zooey Deschanel
I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal.
Zooey Deschanel
Do your eye shadow first, then your foundation. That way, you can clean up any mess without starting all over again.
Zooey Deschanel
When I was a little bit younger The strain I was under could make me cry. Now I'm a little bit older, A little bit bolder, Never so shy
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
I'll write and make chords with my voice sometimes if I don't have an instrument even though it takes a million times longer.
