Zooey Deschanel

I’ve never pursued a role. I always hear stories about actors going after parts and I’m, like, ‘How do they do that?’ It seems so weird. It seems like a total myth or something.

Actors Roles Stories
Women I admired growing up – Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep – were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin.

Beautiful Growing Pilates
I think comedy’s just about being interested in comedy and what makes people laugh and experimenting.

Laughing People Thinking
I don’t like to plan harmonies too much, because there’s something fun that happens when you just sing a pass, then sing another pass, and layer them on top of each other.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

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

Talking Television Thinking
Love is individual to each person and I don’t think you can define it before experiencing it because it isn’t going to be the same for everybody.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Individual Love Thinking
Yeah, well, we were looking for something sort of anonymous. It suggests what it is, but I like that it’s modest.

Ideas Kind Stars
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.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Hart Jazz Thinking
I think the best comedic actors don’t play it for comedy, they play it for reality. Then you find it funny because it’s real. Playing the genre is the worst thing you can do – it’s embarrassing.

Play Real Thinking
I finally figured out how to read origami directions.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Figured Origami Out
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.

If I could give my teenaged self any advice, it would be ‘Calm down!’
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Advice Giving Self
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.

Hate People Selling
There’s a vegan and gluten-free bakery called BabyCakes that I love. They’ve got shops in New York and Los Angeles. Their stuff is amazing.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Country Gluten Stuff
I have trouble actually describing myself because I’m always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I’m like, “OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?”

People Trouble Trying
I have had brown hair and bangs since I was 2. One year I dyed it blonde, which felt so weird.
