Zooey Deschanel: Being Called Quirky Is 'Annoying'

"It's an annoying word," Deschanel says. "'Quirky' is like a nice way of saying weird."
The 31-year-old actress, married to Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, will appear in "Your Highness" this spring.
"It's a spoof of '80s adventure fantasy movies. It's a comedy that has a lot of really dirty jokes," Deschanel tells Lucky. "I play Belladonna. I'm a maiden and I'm betrothed to Prince Fabious played by James Franco."
One of Deschanel's favorite parts of filming "Your Highness" was the medieval wardrobe. "I had so many amazing costumes in the movie. They weren't things I would normally wear. They were basically medieval gowns. It was really fun dressing up like I was going to a Renaissance fair for three months," she says.
More highlights from Zooey Deschanel's Lucky magazine cover:
On her personal style: "I would say girly, flirtatious, colorful. Feminine, maybe, and soft. But yeah, definitely colorful."
On her "style test" for an outfit: "What if I need to run away? Just take off at any minute? I want to be able to run away and dance at all times."
On dressing up as a child: "I wanted to be really girly, like Dorothy from 'The Wizard of Oz.' I'm still the same way."
On her favorite party dress: "I was 14 and wanted to wear a red dress to a party. I was just determined. So I found all this old material from Christmas stockings, and I taught myself how to sew. It had white lace at the top and an empire waist, and it was knee length -- it was actually really cute."
On LA's new fashion trends: "I'm not a leather-dress, bondage-pumps type of person. All those straps and zippers look horrible on me. Am I going to kill someone with that shoe? I like things that are pretty. I like dressing up."
