One of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it's my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs.

More quotes by Zooey Deschanel
I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There's something really, really fun about that.
Zooey Deschanel
I always wanted to be normal. I tried really hard, but it's like I try so hard and then people still say I'm offbeat. I've learnt to accept that and take advantage of it as an actor.
Zooey Deschanel
And you go into a supermarket and every tabloid is like, 'Pregnant and Alone!' Stuck in the 1950s ideal of how a woman should live her life. This brings out the fiery feminist in me.
Zooey Deschanel
I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal.
Zooey Deschanel
Yeah, well, we were looking for something sort of anonymous. It suggests what it is, but I like that it's modest. I feel like that's an underrated virtue. It's modest and it's kind of anonymous, which I liked, because it reminds me of my own ideas about why music should be played, which is not to be a star. That was never my intention.
Zooey Deschanel
I think good actors tend to be really funny.
Zooey Deschanel
In a lot of movies, you'll see people on crazy dates, and you're like, 'No one would ever do that!'
Zooey Deschanel
I don't like plain nails. I get sad.
Zooey Deschanel
Making movies, you're like an independent contractor - you come in, you have a specific job, and a lot of what you do is completely manipulated, which is good and bad.
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 personally never wanted to be 'the babe', and refuse to let vanity get in the way of my acting because I don't see my job as being a beautiful person.
Zooey Deschanel
I can't even remember the first time I started singing.
Zooey Deschanel
I like to play the ukulele, but I'm not, like, awesome at it. I mostly play the piano and the guitar.
Zooey Deschanel
Anyone who knows me knows that I am really into hair. I'm a real girly girl and love doing my hair and experimenting with different styles.
Zooey Deschanel
I am always early to work but sometimes late to other things.
Zooey Deschanel
I did not have a date to the prom. I went to my junior prom alone, and my senior prom, I was doing my first movie. I went in a limousine with, like, a bunch of people to my junior prom. It was a group date.
Zooey Deschanel
I tend to like simple music. And clever, succinct lyrics. Songs that don't try to be more than they need to to be effective, to stir up something emotionally within you.
Zooey Deschanel
My biggest complaint with tights is that they do not accommodate skinny-ankled people like myself.
Zooey Deschanel
I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?
Zooey Deschanel
Well I know that you worry a lot about Things you cant control There are so many things wed like to have But we just cannot hold You've got to be kind to yourself You've got to be kind to yourself
