As quoted in " Zooey sings! http://detroit.metromix.com/music/article/zooey-sings/517858/content" by Matt Pais in Metromix (21 July 2008).
Kontext: I have trouble actually describing myself because I’m always suspicious of people who start describing themselves. I’m like, “OK, why are you trying to tell me what you are?”

“I somehow see what's beautiful
In things that are ephemeral”
"I Thought I Saw Your Face Today".
She & Him : Volume One (2008)
Kontext: I somehow see what's beautiful
In things that are ephemeral
I'm my only friend of mine
And love is just a piece of time
in the world
in the world.
And I couldn't help but fall in love again.

"This Is Not a Test".

“I want to make people feel better, whether it’s myself, or a friend, or whoever.”
On her song "Me and You" on Volume Two (2010), in an interview with Evan Schlansky in " On Record : Zooey Deschanel of She & Him http://www.americansongwriter.com/2010/03/on-record-zooey-deschanel-of-she-him/" at American Songwriter (18 March 2010).
Kontext: I think a lot of what motivates me songwriting-wise is — this might sound silly — but, when I listen to a song that I love, it kind of makes me feel better. I think that’s the impetus behind everything I write; I want to make people feel better, whether it’s myself, or a friend, or whoever. I don’t know how to say this without sounding corny or banal, but I know a lot of people who are very hard on themselves. So this is sort of a cheerleading lullaby.
As quoted in "On Record : Zooey Deschanel of She & Him" at American Songwriter (18 March 2010).
Kontext: My goal as an actor is always to be as truthful as possible, and to find the truth in the material I am representing. So I think that it’s the same with performing music. But in a way, performing your own music, it’s easier to find the truth in it, because it’s coming from yourself. There’s no translation needed.
Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
She & Him : Volume One (2008)
"This Is Not a Test".
She & Him : Volume One (2008)
Kontext: For those of you who thought you'd be forgotten,
The friends you've made will try their best, to make it so.
Think of all the beauty that you left behind you.
You can take it if you want it, and then let it go.
"Home".
Volume Two (2010)
Kontext: Why don’t we just sit and stare and do nothing?
Nothing at all for a while
I like the way you smile
I could be your state and I could be your nation
It doesn’t get better than home, now does it?
“You've got to be kind to yourself
You've got to be kind to yourself”
"Me and You".
Volume Two (2010)
Kontext: Well I know that you worry a lot about
Things you cant control
There are so many things wed like to have
But we just cannot hold You've got to be kind to yourself
You've got to be kind to yourself

You never knew
You didn't know me well
So well, as I knew you”
