Her favorite color is red ~(ZOOEY QUOTES) I have trouble actually describing myself because Im always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. Im like, OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are? I love old music, old movies, screwball comedies, vintage clothes and basically I'm an old-fashioned gal. I don't want to go to another rollercoaster ride of a movie. If I want that, I'll go to Magic Mountain. I'm blessed with a lot of energy and stamina. I can't stand sitting still. I went to a spa once with my mom and I was like, "Get me out of here!'" I don't really like to go out very much. I'm not scandalous. I'm not, like, in this to be famous. I also find it so embarrassing when you read about people and it's like they were so trashed at Skybar and stumbling around. I don't want to be that person. That's just so embarrassing to have that written about you. I'm the worst at picking what movies are going to do well. I have no idea. I'm really surprised if a movie I like does well. I love clothes. I like to go down Melrose and look in all the windows and I go to different flea markets. I have lots of costumes. You never know when you're going to have to dress up like a milkmaid from the 1600s. I was labeled a 'theatre type' in high school, which made it hard to fit in and feel part of things. I don't think I'm very much like anyone else, really. I'm sure there are aspects of other actors that I share, but I don't see anybody else and go, "Damn, they stole my thing". I'm me, and I like that there are people who have an appreciation for that. I don't want to be a babe. I don't want vanity to ever get in the way, because I think to maintain that, you have to be aware of yourself all the time, and that gets in the way of acting. My job's not to be the beautiful person. My job is to be the best actor I can be. I always choose roles that are, you know, hopefully different from the last role. I don't wanna do the same thing over and over again because that's, well, first of all that's no fun. It's a lot harder to do an ensemble because your energy is going in so many different places, and you have to cover everybody. You have to sort of split your attention. The first album I ever got was "Like a Virgin". It was during the Iran Contra conflict-I thought she was saying, "Like a Persian". Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling. You cant always put it into words, but the main thing is to make sure youre not miscast or typecast. You want to keep your range open. I love every decade, but I think 60s clothes are my favourite. And I love big hair. Im secretly a country singer at heart. I shop at thrift stores. Im not a fashion victim; I dont let people tell me what to do. The only pressure I feel is having enough stuff I get attached to things. I remember where I bought every single item in my closet. If you model yourself on somebody else, youre nothing but the poor mans so-and-so or the young so-and-so. Id rather just be me. I think Christmas is always used at any point in the year to cheer us up, like each other up. We would use that to cheer each other up if we were in a sad mood or something, wed just start talking about Christmas.
