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 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 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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELIt’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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI don’t know how to explain how, probably to my detriment, unselfpromoting I am. I used to have a cabaret act and I didn’t even like to tell me people about that. I really hate selling myself.
ZOOEY DESCHANELWe all know guys who’ve had their hearts broken in real life; we just don’t usually see it in the movies.
ZOOEY DESCHANELSummer has always been my favorite season. I feel happier.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI was never no, never no, never enough, But I can try, I can try to toughen up.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI feel like making music because – and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record – there’s more of myself in it.
ZOOEY DESCHANELKnow what suits you. Now I understand proportion and recognise the shapes that look good on my figure.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI’ll have these internal moments where I’m empathizing with someone else or feeling something myself, but I’m like, “How can I see the best in this situation?” Sometimes those are the moments where you can have the most clarity.
ZOOEY DESCHANELYeah, well, we were looking for something sort of anonymous. It suggests what it is, but I like that it’s modest.
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 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 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.
