More From Zooey Deschanel

I Want To Be Where Your Heart Is Home I Want To See You With The Light In The Morning There's Never Been Such A Beautiful Warning To Me, To Me

I Get Embarrassed A Lot Of Times Getting Attention, But I Like Being Onstage. Do You Know What I Mean? If I'm In A Crowd Of People And They're All Looking At Me, I Will Feel Embarrassed. It's A Strange Dichotomy.

I Wasn't Really The Most Charming Person, Socially - It Took Me A Long Time To Develop My People Skills - But The One Place I Was Always Comfortable Was Onstage, Acting Or Singing.

I'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.

I Want To Be A Freaking Feminist And Wear A Freaking Peter Pan Collar. So Freaking What?

I Accidentally Entered A Youth Pageant When I Was 14. That's Like A Beauty Pageant, But Without The Beauty. It Was Terrible.

I've Personally Never Wanted To Be 'the Babe', And Refuse To Let Vanity Get In The Way Of My Acting Because I Don't See My Job As Being A Beautiful Person.

My Mom Told Me When I Get Compliments To Cover My Ears.

In Making A Record There Are So Fewer People Involved - At Least In Our Case. There Were No More Than Three Or Four People In The Studio At Once. So I Really Feel Like I Can Stand By Everything On The Record And Say This Is Something That I Personally Endorse.

I Hate Camping, But I Love Summer Camp.

I Like Romantic Comedy As A Genre, But I Think It Can Get Stuck In Its Ways.

There Are Lots Of Things That Everyone Else Likes That I Hate. So I Feel That Audience Rights Are Very Important. I Just Want People To Hear It And Decide If They Like It Or Don't Like It As They Would With Anything Else.

A Lot Of People Work Out To Be Skinny. That's So Boring, And It Seems Like A Depressing Goal For A Modern Woman.

I Just Feel Like Growing Up In Los Angeles, You Learn, 'well You're Never Gonna Be The Prettiest Girl In The Room, So Just Don't Even Try.' I Mean, I Care About Being Pretty, But It's Not My Most Valued Thing.

I Wanted To Be A Child Actor So Bad That Every Day I'd Beg My Parents If I Could Audition, But My Mom Said, 'not Until You Can Drive Yourself To Auditions.'

I Don't Think There Are That Many Awesome Roles Out There, Whether We're Talking About Movies Or Tv.

If People Just Want To Be Famous, That's Just Not Enough To Get You Up At 4 In The Morning To Go To Work. You Have To Love What You're Doing.

I Did Go Through This Period Where Girls Would Be Mean And I Had A Lot Of Guy Friends. But I've Found As An Adult The Importance Of Having Female And Male Friends.

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.

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. There Is So Much More Invested In It For A Lot Of Different People, So Much Money Is Sunk Into It That They Usually Want Some Guarantee Or Promise That It's Going To Be Able To Do Something On A Financial Level. There's Just A Lot More Messing With You In Film. I Love Movies And I Love To Watch Movies And Being A Part Of The Whole Film Experience.

That Is So Personal, And It’s My Pet Peeve When People Press You On It. And It’s Always Women Who Get Asked! Is Anybody Saying That To George Clooney?

It's A Lot Harder To Do An Ensemble Because Your Energy Is Going In So Many Different Places, And You Have To Cover Everybody. You Have To Sort Of Split Your Attention.

It's An Addiction. I Love Clothes. I Like To Go Down Melrose And Look In All The Windows And I Go To Different Flea Markets. I Have Lots Of Costumes. You Never Know When You're Going To Have To Dress Up Like A Milkmaid From The 1600s.

You Go To Something Like The Golden Globes, And It's The Most Glamorous Place You Could Ever Be, But Then You Go Home And You're Still Like, 'urgh, This Dress Is Too Tight, I Wanna Take Off These Shoes And Put On My Pyjamas.' At The End Of The Night All The Glamour Goes Away And You're Just A Human.

Well I Know That You Worry A Lot About Things You Cant Control There Are So Many Things Wed Like To Have But We Just Cannot Hold You've Got To Be Kind To Yourself You've Got To Be Kind To Yourself

I 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!

I Think Good Actors Tend To Be Really Funny.

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.

It's Interesting, Because As A Musician, I Don't Feel Like I Need To Be On The Top Of The Pop Charts.

When I Was A Little Bit Younger The Strain I Was Under Could Make Me Cry. Now I'm A Little Bit Older, A Little Bit Bolder, Never So Shy

That People Equate Being Girlie With Being Nonthreatening … I Mean, I Can't Think Of A More Blatant Example Of Playing Into Exactly The Thing That We're Trying To Fight Against. I Can't Be Girlie? I Think The Fact That People Are Associating Being Girlie With Weakness, That Needs To Be Examined. I Don't Think That It Undermines My Power At All.

I Don't Like Plain Nails. I Get Sad.

The First Job I Ever Had Was Singing In A Jazz Club When I Was Like 15 With My Friend, And We Earned Like 70 Bucks. We Were Like, 'oh My God!'

I Love To Cook. But I Have Some Food Allergies, So I Have To Contend With Those.

The Moment You Sense Someone Is Making Something Because They Think People Are Gonna Buy It Or Like It, It's Just So Phony! The Public Has A Nose For Phony Like Nobody Else.

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.

When I Got A Little Bit Older I Wanted To Play Piano - That's All I Wanted To Do. I Remember Learning How To Play A Blues Progression On The Xylophone In Music Class And Thinking "this Is The Greatest Thing I've Ever Learned."

I Don't Like Business Talkers, You Know, People Who Are Constantly Like, 'blah Blah Blah Movies.' I Find It Incredibly Boring.

I Love Downtown La And I Relish Any Opportunity To Spend Time There.

I'm Always Interested In Hearing How Other People Read And React To My Songs. I Hadn't Thought Of It In Just That Way. One 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. But I Also Feel Like It's The Right Of The People Hearing Them To Have Their Own Interpretations Of What These Songs Mean. Sometimes People Will See Things That I Don't See.

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.

Every 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.

I Feel Like Songwriting Is An Experiment In Empathy.

I Also Feel Like It's The Right Of The People Hearing Them To Have Their Own Interpretations Of What These Songs Mean. Sometimes People Will See Things That I Don't See.

I Grew Up Believing My Sister Was From The Planet Neptune And Had Been Sent Down To Earth To Kill Me. I Believed This Because My Sister Emily Convinced Me Of It When I Was A Toddler. I Think She'd Seen Invasion Of The Body Snatchers And Her Imagination Ran Away With Her. There's A Part Of Me That Still Believes It.

It's Strange Because A Lot Of People Are Like, 'you Can't Change Human Nature-people Are Inherently Negative.' I Don't Think That's True. If You Expect The Best From People, They'll Step Up.

Growing 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.

The First Album I Bought With My Own Money Was 'a Hard Day's Night.'

I Like Having A Schedule. I Tend To Be The Type Of Person That Thrives On Something Being Regular.

Proving People Wrong Is Probably My Favorite Thing To Do.

Favorites Things

I Will Wear Tights Even If It's 100 Degrees Outside. Tights Are My Safety Blanket.

Everyone Has The Heartbreak That Shapes Them In A Way That They Could Never Go Back To The Innocence That They Had Before.

I Finally Figured Out How To Read Origami Directions.

Why Don't We Just Sit And Stare And Do Nothing? Nothing At All For A While I Like The Way You Smile I Could Be Your State And I Could Be Your Nation It Doesn't Get Better Than Home, Now Does It?

It's Never Too Late For A Coffee. After All It's Morning Somewhere In The World.

I'm Into Sincerity In Music And Sincerity In Art. If It Doesn't Feel True, I Don't Want To Do It. Things That Are Too Dramatic Scare Me. I Think That's Why I Don't Always Fit Into The World Of Performing Arts.

There Are So Many Cute Vintage Dresses Made Out Of Synthetics From The '60s And '70s - But They're So Itchy And Hot. It's Not Worth It!

People Sometimes Say, 'oh, You Were A Movie Star,' And I'm Like, 'no, I Was A Supporting Actress.' I Wasn't An A-list Actress, And I'm Fine With That. I'm Proud Of What I Did In Film.

I Mean, The Idea That It Might Help Somebody Out Or Help Somebody Make The Decision To Become A Stewardess Or Otherwise... No, That's One Of The Nice Things About Making Music Or Making Movies, Is That Art Does Have The Power To Affect People. I Feel Really Privileged To Be A Part Of That.

I Think Every Year I Become Happier Because I Become More Comfident And More Comfortable In My Own Skin.

I Still Have In Me The Same Awareness When I Was 12 And Chubby And A Girl Was Spitting In My Face. I'm The Same Person.

Most Of My Music Theory Knowledge Is Based On Piano. But I Write On Guitar A Lot, Too. I'm Not A Great Guitar Player By Any Means. I'm Not A Great Instrumentalist. I Play Piano On Stage. I Don't Play Guitar On Stage, But I Use It To Write Quite A Lot.

I Think There's A Certain Space People Have Decided I Occupy - The Funny-sidekick Thing.

My Biggest Complaint With Tights Is That They Do Not Accommodate Skinny-ankled People Like Myself.

I've Never Pursued A Role. I Always Hear Stories About Actors Going After Parts And I'm, Like, 'how Do They Do That?' It Seems So Weird. It Seems Like A Total Myth Or Something.

I Went To Northwestern Because I Had Gone To A Really Nontraditional High School. I Was Like, 'it'd Be Cool To Have A Traditional College Experience.' Then I Was Like, 'oh, But None Of These People Understand What's Cool About Me. My Specialness Is Not Appreciated In This Place.'

The Internet's Like One Big Bathroom Wall With A Lot Of People Who Anonymously Can Say Really Mean Things. It's Fine, I Believe In Freedom Of Speech And I Think People Should Think What They Want, But I Don't Care To Hear It.

I Put Myself Out There; It's Part Of My Job, And I Get It: People Will Attack Me. At First I Was Thrown Off, But Now I Have A Pretty Thick Skin About It.

Girls Get Competitive, As Though There's Only One Spot In The World For Everything _ But That's Not True. We Need To Stick Together And See There's More To Life Than Pleasing Men. It's Important Not To Cut Yourself Off From Female Friendships. I Think Sometimes Girls Get Scared Of Other Girls, But You Need Each Other.

Don't Allow The Coldness And Fear Of Others To Tarnish Your Perfectly Vulnerable Beating Heart.

I Work Almost Completely Year-round, Since I Was 18 Or 19. It's Nine Months A Year, And Then You're Out Of Town, (there Are) Crazy Hours And All Of The Things That Go With Filmmaking, Which Is A Pretty All-consuming Business, Although I'm Very Blessed To Be A Part Of It.

I 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.

Nothing Could Be As Hard As Middle School.

I've Always Been Really Picky About Roles And Make A Point Of Reminding Myself That It's Not About The Money - Because, Obviously, There's A Lot Of Money To Be Made In This Business If You're Willing To Do Anything.

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.

I'm Not Playing A Comedy. I Want To Be Playing The Truth Of The Moment, And Then Have The Comedy Come Out.

I Can't Go On Gawker. I Actually Think The Writing Is Really Funny, But There Is A Chance That Somebody Is Undercutting Me.

It's Really Fun To Say No Sometimes. I Just Don't Want To Discount How Fun It Is To Say No And Exercise Your Right To Say No, And - As A Girl - It's Important To Know How To Say No... And That No Means No!

We 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

I Gravitate Towards Happy Music. I Love The Beach Boys.

I Think The Best Comedies Came Out During The Depression. Personally.

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.

I Think My Own Personal Style Always Ends Up Seeping Into Characters That I Play. I've Always Had A Very Distinct Idea Of Fashion For Myself, And What A Character Should Wear.

I Don't Have Control Over What's On Screen, And That's Terrifying.

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.

One Thing I Love About Christmas Music Is That It Has A Tradition Of Warmth.

Writing Music Is Really Personal, And It's A Really Exciting Thing To Participate In Because Represents The Full Creative Process: It Feels Like Something Is Coming From Nothing.

I'm A Person Who Has A Lot Of Energy. So, Yes, I Don't Really Stop To Rest Or De-stress. I Just Keep Going. I Figure That If You Don't Stop, Then You'll Never Notice How Tired You Are.

Always The Aim For Me Is Making People Feel Like They Are Not Alone. That's Just The Greatest Feeling.

Being An Actress Can Be A Little Like Being A Girl In The '50s: You're Stuck Waiting By The Phone, Hoping That The Boy You Like Will Call.

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.

One 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.

No, I've Been Singing Forever. I Started Out Doing Musicals. I Think That Was Part Of The Reason Why They Gave Me The Part, Because I Sang.

If 'new Girl' Had Been A Movie, I Don't Know Whether I Would Have Been Given The Opportunity To Do It.

I Get Really Insecure Because Even Though I Can Speak In Musician's Terms, I Don't Know As Much As Real Musicians.

I Brake For Birds. I Rock A Lot Of Polka Dots. I Have Touched Glitter In The Last 24 Hours. I Spend My Entire Day Talking To Children. And I Find It Fundamentally Strange That You're Not A Dessert Person. It Freaks Me Out. I'm Sorry That I Don't Talk Like Murphy Brown. And I Hate Your Pants Suit. I Wish It Had Ribbons On It Or Something Just To Make It Slightly Cuter But That Doesn't Mean I'm Not Smart And Tough And Strong.

If I'm Going To Be 'too' Anything, 'too Cute' Is Fine. I Love Puppies. So What? Who Hates Puppies?

Secretly, I Think Everyone Who Makes Fun Of California Really Does Want To Be In California.

We All Know Guys Who've Had Their Hearts Broken In Real Life; We Just Don't Usually See It In The Movies.

I'm A Romantic, But I'm Not A Romantic In The Traditional Sense. I Like To Romanticize What Happens To Me. Whatever Happens To Me - You Could Quantify It As Good Or Bad - I Romanticize It. I Think Along The Lines Of 'when That Thing Happened, It Made Me Who I Am.' That Kind Of Thing. It's A Different Way Of Being Romantic.

I Have Had Brown Hair And Bangs Since I Was 2. One Year I Dyed It Blonde, Which Felt So Weird.

I Listened To A Lot Of Joni Mitchell In High School. She Was Sort Of An Inspiration To Me. I Think She's A Great Lyricist, And She Makes Interesting Choices.

For Some Reason, People Look At Me And Laugh. I Don't Know Why.

I Think Comedy's Just About Being Interested In Comedy And What Makes People Laugh And Experimenting.

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.

I Did Not Have A Date To The Prom. I Went To My Junior Prom Alone, And My Senior Prom, I Was Doing My First Movie. I Went In A Limousine With, Like, A Bunch Of People To My Junior Prom. It Was A Group Date.

I Love Movies And I Love To Watch Movies And Being A Part Of The Whole Film Experience. Being A Filmgoer Is A Unique Experience, And It Can Affect You On So Many Levels. But Being An Actor In Movies You Often Have A Very Narrow Palette For Expressing Yourself.

I'll Write And Make Chords With My Voice Sometimes If I Don't Have An Instrument Even Though It Takes A Million Times Longer.

I Have Pro Tools On My Computer, And I Make Cds All The Time.

I'm A Big Fan Of The '80s Fantasy Genre That I Grew Up Watching, Movies Like "krull" And "clash Of The Titans" And "time Bandits" And All That Stuff.

Nothing's Better Than A Picnic.

I Like To Play The Ukulele, But I'm Not, Like, Awesome At It. I Mostly Play The Piano And The Guitar.

Yes, Exactly. I Think That Christmas Is Always Used At Any Point In The Year To Cheer Us Up, Like Each Other Up. We Would Use That To Cheer Each Other Up If We Were In A Sad Mood Or Something, We'd Just Start Talking About Christmas.

Yeah, Well, We Were Looking For Something Sort Of Anonymous. It Suggests What It Is, But I Like That It's Modest. I Feel Like That's An Underrated Virtue. It's Modest And It's Kind Of Anonymous, Which I Liked, Because It Reminds Me Of My Own Ideas About Why Music Should Be Played, Which Is Not To Be A Star. That Was Never My Intention.

I Think That It's Our Responsibility To Create A World In Which Girls Can Grow Up And Not Have To Limit Their Dreams Or Possibilities.

I'm Always Interested In Hearing How Other People Read And React To My Songs. I Hadn't Thought Of It In Just That Way.

I Think That If You're Serving Yourself Before You're Serving A Story Then That's Where You End Up Being Not Funny. It's Not About Being Funny, It's About Telling A Story And Then The Comedy Comes Out Of The Situation, I Think.

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.

Summer Has Always Been My Favorite Season. I Feel Happier.

I 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?"

I Just Sort Of Follow My Bliss, So To Speak, And Then I See Where That Takes Me.

Romantic Comedies Are Usually About When Love Works.

Oh, Me? I'm Not 80% Water. I'm 80% Coffee, And A Little Bit Of Sass.

Modern 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.

You 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.

It`s Not About Women Acting Like Man, It`s About Women Acting Like Woman And Being Sucsessful

I 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. There Is A Lot You Can Find Out About Yourself Through Knowing About History. I Have Always Been Attracted To Things That Are Old. I Have Just Always Found Such Things Interesting And Compelling.

I've Been Writing Music Since I Was About Eight. I Would Write Sporadically. I Wrote A Lot Of Music In High School. I Guess The Oldest Song On The Record ("i Thought I Saw Your Face") Is About Eight Years Old. It's The Old "i Had My Whole Life To Write My First Album And Six Months To Write The Second One." I Did, To Some Degree, But Actually, A Lot Of The Songs That Ended Up On The Record, I Wrote Really Recently. So It Varies.

Love Is Just A Piece Of Time In The World In The World And I Couldn't Help But Fall In Love Again

Falling In Love

When You Work On A Movie, Especially An Independent Movie, It's A Lot Of Work To Make It! It's Not Just Our Job As Actors - So Many People Are Working So Hard, And Even The Littlest Movie Takes A Lot Of Work.

I Really Like The Collaboration Of Doing Movies And Television. But I Like The Sort Of Solitary Work Of Doing Music.

I'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.

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.

I Wish I Got Invited To More Luaus. I Really Do!

I'm Not Doing It To Pander To People. I Just Always Knew What I Liked Versus What I Don't Like. I Never Liked Things With Too Many Zippers Or Spikes And Stuff. That Weirds Me Out. I Like Things That Are Pretty. And I Think It's Great To Be Pretty. I Like Being Feminine. I Think It's Good To Be Feminine. We Don't Need To Look Like Men Or Dress Like Men Or Talk Like Men To Be Powerful. We Can Be Powerful In Our Own Way, Our Own Feminine Way.

I Already Have The Weird Experience Of Having A Name For Myself Personally That's Connected To Someone That's In The Public Eye. So You Have Me, Zooey Deschanel, And Then There's Zooey Deschanel's Public Persona.

I Have Been A Harmony Enthusiast Since I Was A Child, Singing In Choir And With Friends Growing Up. I Always Put A Ton Of Harmonies On My Demos.

I Love Indie Movies. I Think That Independent Cinema Is Where It's At And Where A Lot Of Trends Begin. It's Where New Filmmakers Are Breaking Through.

My Sister And I Do To What We Love To Do And Do What We Want To Do, So That Sort Of Started Us Off Having A Sense Of 'do This Because You Love It' Not 'do This Because You Want To Be Famous.'

I Actually Did A Lot Of Improvised Movies Or Movies That Were Partially Improvised.

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.

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.

You Can't Expect To Make No Effort. You Still Have To Make The Effort And Be Kind And Understanding.

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?

Anyone Who Knows Me Knows That I Am Really Into Hair. I'm A Real Girly Girl And Love Doing My Hair And Experimenting With Different Styles.

There Are A Million Examples Of Not Feeling The Jazz, But Using The Jazz.

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.

O-o-old Habits Die Hard When You Got, When You Got A Sentimental Heart Piece Of The Puzzle, You're My Missing Part Oh What Can You Do With A Sentimental Heart?

You Don't Have To Wear Expensive Clothes To Look Good.

Expensive Clothes

My Nursery School Did A Production Of 'the Three Little Pigs.' I Played The Third Pig. When The Wolf Knocked On My Door, I Refused To Get Up And Answer It Because, To Me, He Was Knocking The Wrong Way. I Just Lay There, Snoring Away On Stage, Fully Immersed In My Character. My Dad Turned To My Mom And Said: 'dustin Hoffman.'

Funny Motivational

I Started Out Doing Musicals.

California Is A Great Big Nation Of One They Never Knew What They Wanted 'til It Was Already Gone

I Like Singing As Much As I Like Acting, And All Through High School I Thought I Might Be A Broadway Singer.

I Don't Know Why Femininity Should Be Associated With Weakness. Women Should Be Free To Express Who They Are Without Thinking, 'i Need To Act Like A Man, Or I Need To Tone It Down To Be Successful.' That's A Very Good Way To Keep Women Down.

Funny Motivational

There'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.

Not That There Is Anything Wrong With Confessional Songwriting, There Are Plenty Of People That Do That I Admire. I Think It Is Great; It Just Isn't How I Do Things.

I Think I'd Say That My Whole Body Of Work Is A Reflection Of Who I Am, But Not Any One Specific Thing.

I Was Never No, Never No, Never Enough, But I Can Try, I Can Try To Toughen Up.

I'm Always Trying To Do Stuff I Haven't Done Before Or Challenge Myself So I'm Not Resting On My Laurels All Of The Time Because If I Just Found My Little Niche And Never Left It, I'd Be Pretty Boring, I Think.

I Am Always Early To Work But Sometimes Late To Other Things.

I Think I'm A Fun Flatmate. I'm Always Cheerful. I Go On Tour With My Band So It's 12 People On One Bus And I Feel Like I'm The One Who's Happy In The Morning. I'm Not A Chaotic Person, But I Might Slack Off On Doing The Dishes From Time To Time.

Everyone Needs A Theme Song! It Should Make You Feel Like A Million Dollars.

I'm Always Doing Something Musically - When I'm Working Or When I'm Off.

If You Can Make A Character Likable That's Not Very Nice, That's The Challenge Of The Job.

I Grew Up Believing My Sister Was From The Planet Neptune And Had Been Sent Down To Earth To Kill Me.

I Like To Learn Things Slow, I Like Learning Alot, I Like To Get It All Again And In The End, You Know You Get What You Got...

I Would Say I Know Nothing About The Music Business, In A Nice Sort Of Way. I Totally Forgot I Was In That Music Video. That's So Funny.

If I Were To Work With My Mom, I Probably Would Not Want Her To Play My Mom. That Would Get Too Real.

Change Is Hard, I Should Know. I Should Know.

I Always Have Loved Music, Ever Since I Was Really Little. I Just Loved To Sing. I Can't Really Explain It, Except Maybe - And This Is Going To Sound Really Stupid - When I Would Listen To A Song It Would Make Me More Excited Than Anything Else Could.

I Like A Lot Of Old Films, I Like A Lot Old Music, And A Lot Of It Has To Do With The Fact That I Like The Idea Of Knowing What Happens Before, So That I Can Understand It.

Everyone Romanticizes Somebody.

I Can't Even Remember The First Time I Started Singing.

I Find Sadness And Strife To Be So Much More Interesting With An Upbeat Melody.

I Was Writing Tons Of Music In My Spare Time. I Might Be On Location Somewhere, And I'd Go Home And I'd Have My Guitar And My Little Keyboard Or Something And Write Music. Or If I Was At Home, On My Piano. I've Always Been A Late Bloomer With A Lot Of Things, Just In General, So I Think This Was Something That Needed To Come To Fruition In This Particular Way.

'pastoralia' By George Saunders Is One Of My Favorite Novels.

For Those Of Us Who Try To Keep Remembering, Try To Do Our Better Than Our Best. Think Of All The Children In The Drifts Of Snow. Winners Never Quit, But Winters Never Rest.

When I Exercise, I Like To Take Lots Of Different Classes Because I Want To Really Apply Myself And Feel Like I'm Learning A New Skill. Not That I Ever Want To Have To Demonstrate Any Of Those Skills!

I Love To Play Music, And This Is Fun, And Let's Record This Stuff In A Way That We Both Like. That Was Exciting Enough, So We Just Recorded It. There Was No Business In It Until The Very Last Minute, Really. It Was Really As Much Of An Extension Of Me Writing The Songs In My Bedroom As It Could Possibly Be.

My Sister Was Always Very Motherly, Babysitting And Stuff.

I Know A Lot Of People That Have Had Fake Twitters... Actors And Musicians That I Know. It's Sort Of A Problem. There Are All These People That Sign Up Thinking That They're Getting Somebody's Real Thoughts When It's Just Some Guy.

I Have A Music Career As Well, So I Was Going To Either Be An Actress Or A Musician. Then, I Did Both. But, I Was Always Going To Do Something Creative.

I'm Not Cynical About Love At All. I'm Very Practical. I Think Love Takes Up A Lot Of Time.

I Think My Knowledge Of Music Theory Is Rooted In Jazz Theory, And A Lot Of The Writers Of Standards - Rodgers And Hart, And Gershwin.

I'm Not Really That Interested In Pandering To An Audience Of People That Are Going To Judge Me Before They Hear Me. If They Hear It And Don't Like It, That's Totally Fine.

One Of The Privileges Of Doing Television Is The Ability To Evaluate My Own Performance And Try To Improve Upon It.

I Always Choose Roles That Are, You Know, Hopefully Different From The Last Role. I Don't Wanna Do The Same Thing Over And Over Again Because That's, Well, First Of All That's No Fun.

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.

Making Movies, You're Like An Independent Contractor - You Come In, You Have A Specific Job, And A Lot Of What You Do Is Completely Manipulated, Which Is Good And Bad.

I Like Acting With No Lines Because All Of A Sudden You're Able To Express Things Without Always Worrying About The Text. It's Great To Have A Great Text, But There's A Lot Of Stuff You Can't Say In Words, And I Think There's Something Really Nice About Good Physical Moments.

Certain Aspects Of My Personality Are Always Going To Come Out On-screen. I Guess That's Just Me - If They Say I'm Quirky, I'm Quirky. It's Better Than Being Boring.
