I like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI like a lot of old films, I like a lot old music, and a lot of it has to do with the fact that I like the idea of knowing what happens before, so that I can understand it.
ZOOEY DESCHANELThe red-carpet thing of premieres and parties is probably my least favourite part of my job.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI 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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELThere are so many cute vintage dresses made out of synthetics from the ’60s and ’70s – but they’re so itchy and hot. It’s not worth it!
ZOOEY DESCHANELI’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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELIt’s nice that there are movies and songs about romance – it’s what motivates us as human beings. I’m all for being brainwashed by rom-coms.
ZOOEY DESCHANELWell, my piano’s really beautiful. I actually have two pianos. I have a Yamaha upright from the ’60s that’s blond, wood, and black, and I also have one from the ’20s from Chicago – not a well-known brand or anything.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI 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?”
ZOOEY DESCHANELOne 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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I’m the same person.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI have a music career as well, so I was going to either be an actress or a musician. Then, I did both. But, I was always going to do something creative.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI like being feminine. I think it’s good to be feminine. We don’t need to look like men or dress like men or talk like men to be powerful. We can be powerful in our own way, our own feminine way.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI’ve always had a really great time being in movies and writing music when I get home. The more creative I am, the more it feeds into other creative aspects of my life.
ZOOEY DESCHANELIn a lot of movies, you’ll see people on crazy dates, and you’re like, ‘No one would ever do that!’
ZOOEY DESCHANELIt’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!
ZOOEY DESCHANELThe first job I ever had was singing in a jazz club when I was like 15 with my friend, and we earned like 70 bucks. We were like, ‘Oh my God!’
