People sometimes say, ‘Oh, you were a movie star,’ and I’m like, ‘No, I was a supporting actress.’ I wasn’t an A-list actress, and I’m fine with that. I’m proud of what I did in film.

I played a lot of sarcastic, wisecracking characters for a long time, and people would think that was me. And it’s very much not me, and then people would think I was being sarcastic when I wasn’t: ‘Oh, you’re making fun of me right now.’ And I wasn’t!

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.

ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Clarity Feelings Sometimes
I feel like I can’t fully understand what’s happening now until I really understand what’s happened before. But you do get sort of bogged down a little bit when you’re trying to study so many years’ worth of music. It can be a little bit overwhelming.

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.
