Zooey Deschanel

Zooey: (On her greatest fear) I don't know what my greatest fear is. It's hard to say. I mean there's a lot of things out there that you say 'Oh God that'd be awful!' And somebody says that or something else. I'd have to agree that'd be awful. I don't think I have a greatest fear per se. There are definitely certain things that could create anxiety in me, if you wanted to. If you just felt like making me anxious, you could say all kinds of different things. What would make most people anxious? No, I try to not be too anxious because then you destroy the life that you have.

Zooey: (On horror movies) I'm more of a classic thriller/Hitchcock kind of gal myself. I don't watch a lot of new horror films, but I like The Ring. I haven't seen a horror movie since that. I'm not a genre-oriented person, I'm not like 'Oh I'm into this genre or that genre'. I like anything as long as it's well made and the acting's good and has an interesting thing it's saying, then I'm interested.

Zooey: (On Christmas in New York) It seems like New York's a really Christmasy place. People walk down the street and they act like they don't care but I think deep down inside, New Yorkers really care about Christmas. New York is way more Christmasy than LA. LA is like it's not cold, there's no gigantic Christmas tree, and no one is ice-skating. You have to drive to an indoor rink to go ice-skating.
