~(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
