It can make you a little crazy when you are too connected to a product.
ZOOEY DESCHANELIt can make you a little crazy when you are too connected to a product.
ZOOEY DESCHANELThere are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny – much, much too skinny. You can’t Pilates to that.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI love telling stories. I think of myself as a storyteller, and I don’t feel bound by being just a singer or an actress. First, I’m a storyteller, and history is stories – the most compelling stories.
ZOOEY DESCHANELBut I also feel like it’s the right of the people hearing them to have their own interpretations of what these songs mean. Sometimes people will see things that I don’t see.
ZOOEY DESCHANELThat is so personal, and it’s my pet peeve when people press you on it. And it’s always women who get asked! Is anybody saying that to George Clooney?
ZOOEY DESCHANELWe are all made of air There’s stars in my eyes and there’s sun in my hair And I’m runnin’ away, it makes me feel better
ZOOEY DESCHANELThere are a lot of actors who will sit here and talk to you about characters – ‘He does this, and she’s a really interesting character because she does this.’ I’m not like that at all. I’m not an actory actor.
ZOOEY DESCHANELIt’s very much a piece of myself when I write a song. I don’t mean to say it’s very personal, like the lyrics mean something personal to me. When I write a song, that’s my taste in music – my taste in chord progressions and melodies.
ZOOEY DESCHANELMy sister and I do to what we love to do and do what we want to do, so that sort of started us off having a sense of ‘Do this because you love it’ not ‘Do this because you want to be famous.’
ZOOEY DESCHANELI always choose roles that are, you know, hopefully different from the last role. I don’t wanna do the same thing over and over again because that’s, well, first of all that’s no fun.
ZOOEY DESCHANELThere’s nothing like having a great friends when you see them, you get that joy – that you can’t really compare it with anything else.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI think there’s a certain space people have decided I occupy – the funny-sidekick thing.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI 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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELOh 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 DESCHANELI think that the mistakes that anyone can make going on dates is probably not being themselves because you can only trick people for so long.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.
