I want to be where your heart is home I want to see you with the light in the morning There’s never been such a beautiful warning to me, to me

Zooey Deschanel

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 don’t think I’m very much like anyone else, really. I’m sure there are aspects of other actors that I share, but I don’t see anybody else and go, “Damn, they stole my thing.” I’m me, and I like that there are people who have an appreciation for that.

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
Every show is unique; some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that’s just the way they do things. It’s like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it’s due.

For those of us who try to keep remembering, Try to do our better than our best. Think of all the children in the drifts of snow. Winners never quit, but winters never rest.

It’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.

In making a record there are so fewer people involved – at least in our case. There were no more than three or four people in the studio at once. So I really feel like I can stand by everything on the record and say this is something that I personally endorse.

There’s something about guitars, they’re just so big, you know what I mean? You’re just like, ‘Ugh!’ It just seems so overwhelming. And the ukulele is, like, the opposite of overwhelming.

I listened to a lot of Joni Mitchell in high school. She was sort of an inspiration to me. I think she’s a great lyricist, and she makes interesting choices.

For those of you who thought you’d be forgotten, The friends you’ve made will try their best, to make it so. Think of all the beauty that you left behind you. You can take it if you want it, and then let it go…

It can make you a little crazy when you are too connected to a product.

Connected Crazy Littles
You can’t know if someone’s really your best friend. I think the measure of that is you could not see each other for six months and then when you see each other you laugh the same way you did when you were a little kid.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

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

But 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.

I 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.

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.

Not that there is anything wrong with confessional songwriting, there are plenty of people that do that I admire. I think it is great; it just isn’t how I do things.

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.

Everyone needs a theme song! It should make you feel like a million dollars.

I’ve had experiences where I wasn’t allowed to change words around at all because you have to say everything, exactly as written on the page.

I would say I know nothing about the music business, in a nice sort of way. I totally forgot I was in that music video. That’s so funny.

The internet’s like one big bathroom wall with a lot of people who anonymously can say really mean things. It’s fine, I believe in freedom of speech and I think people should think what they want, but I don’t care to hear it.

I was never no, never no, never enough, But I can try, I can try to toughen up.

I’ve always been a late bloomer with a lot of things, just in general, so I think this was something that needed to come to fruition in this particular way.
