And I like the cover. It’s a good shot & her lip color is really cool.
Her interview is also pretty decent but you know I only share bit & pieces. I didn’t know she was quite a chubby child & for that reason she was being bullied by insensitive kids.
“I was ridiculed. I still have in me the same awareness when I was 12 and chubby and a girl was spitting in my face. I’m the same person. Certainly you change, and you change perspective, you have other experiences. But isn’t it funny – I can still remember when I was treated differently from the way I’m treated now…I really don’t know why she spit at me. I just talked to her. I guess I wasn’t allowed to talk to her. I remember I couldn’t believe it.” The moment was searing, scarring, but ultimately transformative. It inspired Deschanel to reimagine herself, and over the next year, she carefully, painstakingly recast her persona, becoming more open, more empathic, less “stubborn.” She also shed 30 pounds. “All of a sudden,” she says, “everybody treated me differently.”
I don’t think I need to say much on bullying here, cause we often get a chance to talk about them. In this instance, one bully, however, helped out Zooey to shed weight. Wish everyone could take bullies in a positive way, but it’s almost impossible in many cases. But beyond any doubt, bullies have low self-esteem. I don’t think anyone who is content with herself will spit in someone’s face. What the hell people think of themselves while treating others like shit! And kids could be so monstrous to other kids.
She’s going through a divorce right now, so she’s not at all thinking about dating. And she has been honest that she doesn’t want kids. She doesn’t try hard to sound extra sweet on the question of kids as many irritating women tend to be in real life. I don’t know what they are trying to prove by pretending to be so affectionate & loving, & they all hand over their kids to maids but sorry they have to tell how much they care. Actually it also reminded me of Jennifer Aniston who doesn’t want kids as they are messy. Just say you don’t want kids; you don’t need to give stupid reasons.
