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 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.

In 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.

Oh my God, there are so many songs I wish I had written. ‘Waters of March,’ I wish I had written ‘My Baby Just Cares for Me,’ I wish I had written ‘This Will Be Our Year,’ I mean, there’s millions of them. ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice?’

Baby Nice Song
It’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.

Nice Romance Song
I appreciate a songwriter like Morrissey with so much restraint.

I 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.

There’s a vegan and gluten-free bakery called BabyCakes that I love. They’ve got shops in New York and Los Angeles. Their stuff is amazing.

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

Romantic Sense Thinking
I don’t have control over what’s on screen, and that’s terrifying.

Control Screens Terrifying
True love that lasts forever… yes, I do believe in it. My parents have been married for 40 years and my grandparents were married for 70 years. I come from a long line of true loves.

I’d be more likely to go for somebody who is like me. Well, I like creative people, so whatever that means… Yeah, authentic and creative.

Creative Mean People
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.

Individual Love Thinking
I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I’m an old-fashioned gal.

I 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.

Hate People Selling
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?
ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Believe Kings Successful
Well, 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.
