"In this particular love story a young filmmaker and a pair of busy actors offered to make a promotional music video for their movie free of charge just because they enjoy one another’s company. Besides, Mr. Webb said, there was a blunder of his that needed to be corrected. “I made the horrible mistake of doing a dance sequence in ‘(500) Days of Summer’ without Zooey,” the rumpled, blue-jeaned Mr. Webb said. “This is an error I will never make again.” He was referring to an exuberant scene in which Mr. Gordon-Levitt’s character begins dancing outdoors to express his giddy, post-tryst emotions and is soon joined by a marching band, a chirping animated bluebird and a flotilla of toe-tapping strangers."

If you were wondering how Zooey Deschanel became the Megan Fox of the hipster set, we kindly refer you to the pictures here. It’s all right there: Those bangs. Those stems. Those eyes. For years, Deschanel has been the reigning goddess to a certain kind of man, typically the sort who grew up buried under comic books and dusty LP jackets."

"I saw Zooey Deschanel sing before I saw her act. It was at a pre-Oscars house party in Los Angeles in 2002 or 2003. Deschanel and another actress, Samantha Shelton, had formed a duo called If All The Stars Were Pretty Babies—taken from the title of a 1926 song by Billy Rose and Fred Fisher—and were performing occasional gigs around town. That night, they were the evening’s entertainment. Dressed in vintage Flapper-ware, they sang jazz standards and chestnuts from the 20s, 30s and 40s, and, to use a word from those times, were simply beguiling."

Zoeey: "I would say preparation is a personal thing because you’re using your own emotions. It’s difficult to describe. Acting is whatever works. I don’t, like, use my own life because its too limited and I don’t really like to talk about method. If you do, it’s personal and weird and it can sound like you’re a hippie."
