Zooey Deschanel Quotes

I went to Northwestern because I had gone to a really nontraditional high school. I was like, ‘It’d be cool to have a traditional college experience.’ Then I was like, ‘Oh, but none of these people understand what’s cool about me. My specialness is not appreciated in this place.’ Picture Quote #1

I’m a romantic, but I’m not a romantic in the traditional sense. I like to romanticize what happens to me. Whatever happens to me - you could quantify it as good or bad - I romanticize it. I think along the lines of ‘When that thing happened, it made me who I am.’ That kind of thing. It’s a different way of being romantic Picture Quote #1

My nursery school did a production of ‘The Three Little Pigs.’ I played the third pig. When the wolf knocked on my door, I refused to get up and answer it because, to me, he was knocking the wrong way. I just lay there, snoring away on stage, fully immersed in my character. My dad turned to my mom and said: ‘Dustin Hoffman.’ Picture Quote #1

What led me to be an actor is that I have a strange something in me that can drastically change the way I appear to the world. Growing up, I couldn’t understand why people would always have different ideas of me - but because of that I became aware of how you can manipulate your own ability to change. And then I learned to make a career of it Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I want to be a freaking feminist and wear a freaking Peter Pan collar. So freaking what? Picture Quote #1

I don’t like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, ‘Blah blah blah movies.’ I find it incredibly boring Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1

It’s never too late for a coffee. After all it’s morning somewhere in the world Picture Quote #1

I’m not cynical about love at all. I’m very practical. I think love takes up a lot of time Picture Quote #1

I feel there are tone singers, and there are more vocal gymnastics singers. And I think that’s amazing when people can do that, but I think there’s room for the tone singers. And there aren’t a lot of them Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I try to be authentic - but at the same time I don’t really want people prying into my personal life Picture Quote #1

I’d be more likely to go for somebody who is like me. Well, I like creative people, so whatever that means... Yeah, authentic and creative Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I accidentally entered a youth pageant when I was 14. That’s like a beauty pageant, but without the beauty. It was terrible Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I think comedy’s just about being interested in comedy and what makes people laugh and experimenting Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I’m not going to say I’m a big girl. I’m a very small person, but I’m a healthy weight. That might be a little weird for Hollywood Picture Quote #1

I think I’d say that my whole body of work is a reflection of who I am, but not any one specific thing Picture Quote #1

A lot of people work out to be skinny. That’s so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman Picture Quote #1

I would say I know nothing about the music business, in a nice sort of way. I totally forgot I was in that music video. That’s so funny Picture Quote #1

Writing music is really personal, and it’s a really exciting thing to participate in because represents the full creative process: It feels like something is coming from nothing Picture Quote #1

Girls get competitive, as though there’s only one spot in the world for everything _ but that’s not true. We need to stick together and see there’s more to life than pleasing men.
