I love having a lot of content. I prefer to have constant stimulation.

Especially in comedies, I think a lot of time the female characters are there to provide a balance for guys.

My biggest complaint with tights is that they do not accommodate skinny-ankled people like myself.

I will wear tights even if it's 100 degrees outside. Tights are my safety blanket.

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.

From Zooey Deschanel

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.

From Zooey Deschanel

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.

From Zooey Deschanel

Nothing could be as hard as middle school.

From Zooey Deschanel

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.
