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.
Zooey DeschanelI'm a person who gets better with practice. Getting older is awesome - because you get more practice.
Zooey DeschanelI 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.
Zooey DeschanelIโm just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We canโt 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 DeschanelIn a sense, I like to think of the live performance as something different than the record, not necessarily looking to exactly recreate the record. Sometimes Matt and I just do duets folk-style. Part of the fun of seeing a live show is having it be different from the way that you hear it in your bedroom or wherever you listen to music.
Zooey DeschanelIn 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.
