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. -Zooey Deschanel Christmas
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. -Zooey Deschanel Amazing
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. -Zooey Deschanel Strength
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. -Zooey Deschanel Romantic
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.' -Zooey Deschanel Cool
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. -Zooey Deschanel Imagination
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. -Zooey Deschanel Morning
It's cool cause my sister is older than me and we went to the same high school, so by the time I got to high school, I got the lowdown on all the teachers and everything. -Zooey Deschanel Cool
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. -Zooey Deschanel Cool
If I were to work with my mom, I probably would not want her to play my mom. That would get too real. -Zooey Deschanel Mom
I like romantic comedy as a genre, but I think it can get stuck in its ways. -Zooey Deschanel Romantic
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. -Zooey Deschanel Morning
I accidentally entered a youth pageant when I was 14. That's like a beauty pageant, but without the beauty. It was terrible. -Zooey Deschanel Beauty
I think there's a certain space people have decided I occupy - the funny-sidekick thing. -Zooey Deschanel Space
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. -Zooey Deschanel Amazing
I'm a very positive person. I get excited easily, and I like to jump around. -Zooey Deschanel Positive
I like old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes, and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal. -Zooey Deschanel Movies
I don't like business talkers, you know, people who are constantly like, 'Blah blah blah movies.' I find it incredibly boring. -Zooey Deschanel Movies
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. -Zooey Deschanel Learning
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! -Zooey Deschanel Learning
