I was never no, never no, never enough, But I can try, I can try to toughen up.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI was never no, never no, never enough, But I can try, I can try to toughen up.
ZOOEY DESCHANELEvery show is unique; some shows have the master plan and have everything figured out and that’s just the way they do things. It’s like high school. Some people write their papers the second they get their assignments, and some people write it the day after it’s due.
ZOOEY DESCHANELIt’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.
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 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.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI 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!
ZOOEY DESCHANELI have trouble actually describing myself because I’m always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I’m like, “OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?”
ZOOEY DESCHANELYou can’t know if someone’s really your best friend. I think the measure of that is you could not see each other for six months and then when you see each other you laugh the same way you did when you were a little kid.
ZOOEY DESCHANELWe are all made of air There’s stars in my eyes and there’s sun in my hair And I’m runnin’ away, it makes me feel better
ZOOEY DESCHANELWomen I admired growing up – Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep – were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin.
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 DESCHANELCalifornia is a great big nation of one They never knew what they wanted ’til it was already gone
ZOOEY DESCHANELI love telling stories. I think of myself as a storyteller, and I don’t feel bound by being just a singer or an actress. First, I’m a storyteller, and history is stories – the most compelling stories.
ZOOEY DESCHANELI love singing Christmas carols. I know every harmony to every music-hall Christmas song.
ZOOEY DESCHANELOne thing I love about Christmas music is that it has a tradition of warmth.
ZOOEY DESCHANELThat’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.
