Zooey Deschanel is Marie Claire's May cover girl!
I love Zooey, always have. '500 Days of Summer' is one of my favorite movies of all time. I can't watch her TV show 'New Girl', because honestly, I just find it incredibly annoying. I will be honest, I only watched the first 3 episodes, and I do hear they got better after that. I just don't find myself caring too much.
Anyhoo, the interview wasn't all that great (at least what they posted online). Only a few quotes to pull. Here they are!
How the success of her Fox series "New Girl" has changed her life:
"It's harder to do normal things," she says. No longer can she run blithely into Ralph's for a head of lettuce or some paper towels. "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," she says.
On always playing the quirky, dorky characters she usually does:
"People do think I'm weird," she says. "I don't know why."
When she was 12, she was "chubby" and recalls being picked on:
"I was ridiculed," she says. The low point came when a mean girl spit in her face. "I really don't know why she spit at me," Deschanel says. "I just talked to her. I guess I wasn't allowed to talk to her. I remember I couldn't believe it."
After being picked on as a child, she says she lost 30 pounds:
"All of a sudden," she says, "everybody treated me differently."
