Zooey Deschanel made a name for herself with a stream of offbeat-yet-endearing performances in films like All The Real Girls, (500) Days Of Summer, and Elf. After launching a recording career as one half of She & Him, the performer found her defining role as Jessica Day on Fox’s New Girl. Originally positioned as a showpiece for its “adorkable” star, the show has evolved into one of TV’s most impressive ensemble comedies. New Girl begins its sixth season tonight, with an episode that finds Deschanel following in co-star Jake Johnson’s footsteps by trying her hand at directing for the first time. She recently took some time to speak with The A.V. Club about life both in front of and behind the camera.
