I can’t go on Gawker. I actually think the writing is really funny, but there is a chance that somebody is undercutting me.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI can’t go on Gawker. I actually think the writing is really funny, but there is a chance that somebody is undercutting me.
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 DESCHANELFor 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…
ZOOEY DESCHANELIn a lot of movies, you’ll see people on crazy dates, and you’re like, ‘No one would ever do that!’
ZOOEY DESCHANELGrowing 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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELModern recording has made it so that people can spend forever taking shortcuts and making everything uniform, but that strips music of what makes it exciting.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI 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 DESCHANELI don’t like plain nails. I get sad.
ZOOEY DESCHANELIt’s nice that there are movies and songs about romance – it’s what motivates us as human beings. I’m all for being brainwashed by rom-coms.
ZOOEY DESCHANELIn making a movie, you’re part of a big machine. Even in a small movie there are still so many people involved in the process, and it costs so much money to make.
ZOOEY DESCHANELWhen I was 13, I wasn’t the coolest kid in my class, and that inner dork is a wonderful thing to have.
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 DESCHANELThe red-carpet thing of premieres and parties is probably my least favourite part of my job.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI’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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELOne of the things I love about doing things that are creative is that I feel like it’s my right as an artist not to be affected by the reactions of those people that are going to hear my songs.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI was doing about five movies a year for many years. I was just so tired. I walked around feeling like a Mack truck hit me.
