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!

I don’t think there are that many awesome roles out there, whether we’re talking about movies or TV.

Talking Television Thinking
It’s great, because we’ve had some really great people playing with us who really have studied the record and been able to recreate a lot of what was done. But I would need a choir of eight, probably, to do all of the backup vocals.

I love indie movies. I think that independent cinema is where it’s at and where a lot of trends begin. It’s where new filmmakers are breaking through.

Nothing could be as hard as middle school.

Middle Nothing School
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.

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

Proving people wrong is probably my favorite thing to do.

Sites like Funny or Die and College Humor are great, but I’d say it’s appealing to 80% men and 20% women.

Romantic comedies are usually about when love works.

Oh my God, there are so many songs I wish I had written. ‘Waters of March,’ I wish I had written ‘My Baby Just Cares for Me,’ I wish I had written ‘This Will Be Our Year,’ I mean, there’s millions of them. ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice?’
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Baby Nice Song
