I Feel There Are Tone Singers, And There Are More Vocal Gymnastics Singers. And I Think That's Amazing When People Can Do That, But I Think There's Room For The Tone Singers. And There Aren't A Lot Of Them.

It's Great, Because We've Had Some Really Great People Playing With Us Who Really Have Studied The Record And Been Able To Recreate A Lot Of What Was Done. But I Would Need A Choir Of Eight, Probably, To Do All Of The Backup Vocals.

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.

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

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

Know What Suits You. Now I Understand Proportion And Recognise The Shapes That Look Good On My Figure.

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.

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

I Love Singing Christmas Carols. I Know Every Harmony To Every Music-hall Christmas Song.

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!'

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

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.

To Be A Gluten-free Vegan Is, Like, The Most Difficult Thing You Can Possibly Be.

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 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.

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

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

In An Ideal World No One Would Talk Before 10am. People Would Just Hug, Because Waking Up Is Really Hard.

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

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

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.

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'm Wary About This Thing About Being In The Generation Of Social Networking Where People Are Like, 'i Am My Musical Taste.' I Am Not Just A Collection Of Music. Or A Collection Of Movies. I Think That's A Thing That People Romanticize: 'oh My God, She Likes This Band So She Is A Dream.'

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?'

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 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.

Blossoming And Unfolding Are Basically The Same Thing, But Blossoming Is More Romantic.

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?

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.

Proving People Wrong Is Probably My Favorite Thing To Do.

Favorites Things

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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'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.

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.

The Average Person Tells A Few White Lies.

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.

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 Love Having A Lot Of Content. I Prefer To Have Constant Stimulation.

I 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.

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.

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.

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.

Nothing's Better Than A Picnic.

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.

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.

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

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.

There's Nothing Like Having A Great Friends When You See Them, You Get That Joy - That You Can't Really Compare It With Anything Else.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

From My Perspective, Probably Women Are Won Over By People Who Are Sweet And Respectful And Courteous And Kind And Funny. I Think Those Are The Things That Win Women Over.

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 Like To Make Colored Xeroxes Of Things. I Clip Out Pictures Of Liza Minelli And Her Husband From Magazines And I Fax Them To People Anonymously.

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

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

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

If You're Eight And You Live In Los Angeles And Everybody Has Toys And You Go To A Country That Has A Marxist Dictatorship And There Are No Toy Stores And Nobody Speaks English And It's Blazing Hot Every Day And They Only Have Fish, Which You Don't Like, Then You Tend Not To Appreciate The Cultural Lessons You're Learning.

I Started Out Doing Musicals.

There's Thieves Among Us Painting The Walls All Kinds Of Lies , And Lies I Never Told It All

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'm A Very Positive Person. I Get Excited Easily, And I Like To Jump Around.

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.

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.

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

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.

My Sister Was Always Very Motherly, Babysitting And Stuff.

I Like Playing Sort-of-crazy People. There's Something Really, Really Fun About That.

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.

There Are A Lot Of Actors Who Will Sit Here And Talk To You About Characters - 'he Does This, And She's A Really Interesting Character Because She Does This.' I'm Not Like That At All. I'm Not An Actory Actor.

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

Especially In Comedies, I Think A Lot Of Time The Female Characters Are There To Provide A Balance For Guys.

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

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

In My Mind, I Always Think Of Myself As An Underdog Type.

Do Your Eye Shadow First, Then Your Foundation. That Way, You Can Clean Up Any Mess Without Starting All Over Again.

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 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 Try To Be Authentic - But At The Same Time I Don't Really Want People Prying Into My Personal Life.

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.

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

I Think The Best Comedic Actors Don't Play It For Comedy, They Play It For Reality. Then You Find It Funny Because It's Real. Playing The Genre Is The Worst Thing You Can Do - It's Embarrassing.

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 Think That If You Haven't Been To The Grocery Store In A Really Long Time, It's Really Easy To Get Very Out Of Touch.

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

It Can Make You A Little Crazy When You Are Too Connected To A Product.

I'm A Person Who Gets Better With Practice. Getting Older Is Awesome - Because You Get More Practice.

Funny Motivational

I Like Old Movies, Screwball Comedies, Vintage Clothes, And Basically I'm An Old-fashioned Gal.

For Me, Writing Is 75 Percent Procrastinating And 25 Percent Actually Sitting Down And Working.

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

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.

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.'

I've Always Had A Really Great Time Being In Movies And Writing Music When I Get Home. The More Creative I Am, The More It Feeds Into Other Creative Aspects Of My Life.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 Think It's Better To Have Your Personal Life And Your Work Life Separate. That Way They Don't Corrupt Each Other, So To Speak.

I'm Not Going To Say I'm A Big Girl. I'm A Very Small Person, But I'm A Healthy Weight. That Might Be A Little Weird For Hollywood.

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

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.

Classic Christmas Cookies Are Really Time-consuming. Instead, Make A Bar You Can Bake In A Pan And Just Cut Up, Like A Brownie Or A Blondie Or A Shortbread, Which Still Has That Christmas Vibe.

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

I Sort Of Consider Myself A Comedic Actress, Not A Comedienne. I Think It's Different. You Know, I'm Not A Stand-up Or Anything, But Playing Into Comedic Situations Is Sort Of Where, I Think, My Strength Lies.

I Finally Figured Out How To Read Origami Directions.

Sites Like Funny Or Die And College Humor Are Great, But I'd Say It's Appealing To 80% Men And 20% Women.

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.

Romantic Comedies Are Usually About When Love Works.

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.

I've Been Watching A Lot Of Joni Mitchell Youtube Clips And I Can't Believe Her Transformation From This Folk Singer In Canada.

Women I Admired Growing Up - Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep - Were All Beautiful And Thin, But Not Too Thin. There Are A Lot Of Actresses Who Are Unhealthy-skinny - Much, Much Too Skinny. You Can't Pilates To That.

Take It Back Oh, Take It Back I Don't Want Your Lovin', Anymore Let Me Live Oh, Let Me Live It's Not You Who I Sing For

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

I'm The Worst At Picking What Movies Are Going To Do Well. I Have No Idea. I'm Really Surprised If A Movie I Like Does Well.

I Just Like Music That Sounds Like Music. Not Like Machines And Computers And Things That You Design To Make Things Sound Slick And Perfect.

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?

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

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 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.

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

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.

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!

I've Had Experiences Where I Wasn't Allowed To Change Words Around At All Because You Have To Say Everything, Exactly As Written On The Page. That's Not Fun For Me. For Me, Part Of Being An Actor Is Being Able To Contribute To A Character's Rhythms. If There's Room To Explore, You Find A Happy Medium.

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.

When I Was 13, I Wasn't The Coolest Kid In My Class, And That Inner Dork Is A Wonderful Thing To Have.

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!

I Feel Like Songwriting Is An Experiment In Empathy.

Nothing Could Be As Hard As Middle School.

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?

I Think Penguins Are Cute.

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 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?"

Humor Is A Part Of Spirituality.

I Don't Think I'm Very Much Like Anyone Else, Really. I'm Sure There Are Aspects Of Other Actors That I Share, But I Don't See Anybody Else And Go, "damn, They Stole My Thing." I'm Me, And I Like That There Are People Who Have An Appreciation For That.

In A Lot Of Movies, You'll See People On Crazy Dates, And You're Like, 'no One Would Ever Do That!'

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

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

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.

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.

You Do Not Need To Look Or Be Anorexic To Be Successful In Hollywood. The Range Of What's Acceptable Is A Lot Larger Than What People Believe.

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 Appreciate A Songwriter Like Morrissey With So Much Restraint.

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

I Need A Coffee To Go With My Coffee.

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

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.

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

The Red-carpet Thing Of Premieres And Parties Is Probably My Least Favourite Part Of My Job.

And You Go Into A Supermarket And Every Tabloid Is Like, 'pregnant And Alone!' Stuck In The 1950s Ideal Of How A Woman Should Live Her Life. This Brings Out The Fiery Feminist In Me.

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.
