I 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.

Awareness Faces Girl
I’m the worst at picking what movies are going to do well. I have no idea. I’m really surprised if a movie I like does well.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Ideas Picking Worst
I 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 DESCHANEL

Different Fun Roles
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
I’ve been writing music since I was about eight. I would write sporadically. I wrote a lot of music in high school. I guess the oldest song on the record (“I Thought I Saw Your Face”) is about eight years old.

Compliment Ears Mom
Growing up in Hollywood meant there were a lot of film stars’ kids at my school – but no conspicuous wealth. It wasn’t cool to show off that you had money.

Grow Up School Stars
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 was never no, never no, never enough, But I can try, I can try to toughen up.

Enough Toughen Trying
I like playing sort-of-crazy people. There’s something really, really fun about that.

Crazy Fun People
I’m into sincerity in music and sincerity in art. If it doesn’t feel true, I don’t want to do it. Things that are too dramatic scare me. I think that’s why I don’t always fit into the world of performing arts.

Art Feeling Scare Thinking True
Making movies, you’re like an independent contractor – you come in, you have a specific job, and a lot of what you do is completely manipulated, which is good and bad.

Bad Good Independent Jobs
I’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.

Creative Home Writing
I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.

Constant Lot Prefer Stimulation
I don’t like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, ‘Blah blah blah movies.’ I find it incredibly boring.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Blah Boring People
I’ve always been really picky about roles and make a point of reminding myself that it’s not about the money – because, obviously, there’s a lot of money to be made in this business if you’re willing to do anything.
