In de februari editie van Glamour laat actrice Zooey Deschanel (500 Days of Summer, 2009 en The Happening, 2008) e.e.a. kwijt over feminisme, haar imago en hoe Hollywood een negatieve impact heeft op het denkbeeld en lichaam van jonge vrouwen.

Over feminisme zegt Deschanel tegenover Glamour: "I'm just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can't be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f--king feminist and wear a f--king Peter Pan collar. So f--king what?"

Over haar eigen imago zegt ze: "It's just about doing what you like so that when you look at yourself, you're not disgusted. And I'm all about unintentional. I'm not a calculated person."

En hoe zit dat met de druk vanuit Hollywood dat jonge meiden moeten voldoen aan een bepaald (dun) uiterlijk: "Actresses have definitely gotten thinner over the course of my lifetime. Women I admired growing up—Debra Winger, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep—were all beautiful and thin, but not too thin. There are a lot of actresses who are unhealthy-skinny—much, much too skinny. You can't Pilates to that. I'm a very small person, and if I lost 15 pounds, I'd look like them; it's scary. For young girls, what does that say? You need to look this way to be successful? That's not true. You do not need to look or be anorexic to be successful in Hollywood. The range of what's acceptable is larger than what people believe."
