I tend to like simple music. And clever, succinct lyrics. Songs that don’t try to be more than they need to to be effective, to stir up something emotionally within you.

I’m a romantic, but I’m not a romantic in the traditional sense. I like to romanticize what happens to me.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Romantic Sense Thinking
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.

For those of you who tried, but didn’t make it, Settle down it’s never what you think. The summit doesn’t differ from the deep, dark valley, And the valley doesn’t differ from the kitchen sink.
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Dark Kitchen Thinking
I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f-king feminist and wear a f-king Peter Pan collar. So f-king what?

I would watch ‘Wizard of Oz,’ like every day, when I was two. I had a hard time understanding that I couldn’t go into the film, because it felt so real to me.

If you can make a character likable that’s not very nice, that’s the challenge of the job.

That’s one of the most exciting things for me about listening to records: It’s a moment in time, and the less it’s messed with the more powerful it is. I wanted at least one song on the record to be just completely about the moment.
