I don’t like to plan harmonies too much, because there’s something fun that happens when you just sing a pass, then sing another pass, and layer them on top of each other.

ZOOEY DESCHANELThere are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny – much, much too skinny. You can’t Pilates to that.
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’ve always straddled a weird line – there’s a lot of mainstream stuff that I love. At the same, I still feel like an outsider. I’m the outsider who’s on the inside.
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 DESCHANELI always wanted to be normal. I tried really hard, but it’s like I try so hard and then people still say I’m offbeat. I’ve learnt to accept that and take advantage of it as an actor.
ZOOEY DESCHANELEveryone needs a theme song! It should make you feel like a million dollars.
ZOOEY DESCHANELThere’s something about guitars, they’re just so big, you know what I mean? You’re just like, ‘Ugh!’ It just seems so overwhelming. And the ukulele is, like, the opposite of overwhelming.
