当王子通过他的经理联系我时，我以为有人在恶作剧。
As her duo She & Him release a Beach Boys covers album, the actor-musician answers your questions on duetting with Prince, crying to Björk and raging at the US supreme court当她的二人组合 She & Him 发行一张 Beach Boys 翻唱专辑时，这位演员兼音乐家回答了你们关于她与 Prince 的二重唱、向 Björk 哭泣以及在美国最高法院大发雷霆的问题
What’s the philosophy behind She & Him’s new Beach Boys tribute album? Why revisit a musical era very different from today?她和他的新海滩男孩致敬专辑背后的理念是什么？为什么要重温一个与今天截然不同的音乐时代？
Pet Sounds is a masterpiece, but I really love later albums such as Surf’s Up or Sunflower, which get less attention but have really interesting songs. We narrowed it down by sending songs back and forth and digging into the melancholy side, which is such a wonderful contrast to how people perceive the Beach Boys.Pet Sounds 是一部杰作，但我真的很喜欢后来的专辑，例如 Surf's Up 或 Sunflower，它们很少受到关注，但有非常有趣的歌曲。我们通过来回发送歌曲并挖掘忧郁的一面来缩小范围，这与人们对海滩男孩的看法形成了鲜明的对比。
With the film 500 Days of Summer, people often cast [Deschanel’s character] Summer as almost villainous for her (understandable) rejection of Tom. Is this indicative of a wider societal attitude, where any strong female character attracts negativity?
在电影 500 Days of Summer 中，人们经常将 [Deschanel 的角色] Summer 塑造成她（可以理解的）恶意地拒绝 Tom。这是否表明了更广泛的社会态度，任何强烈的女性角色都会吸引消极情绪？
I got that take from day one. It’s a very emotional response. People want the characters to be together, but that not happening makes the movie interesting. She is upfront that she doesn’t want a relationship, but he ignores her. The most telling scene is when she tells him: “I’ve never told anybody that before,” and he makes it about himself. He is fixated on external details – such as her liking the Smiths – that has nothing to do with who she is as a person. To anyone who thinks Summer is the villain, I say: think a little deeper.
我从第一天就知道了。这是一个非常情绪化的反应。人们希望角色在一起，但没有发生让这部电影变得有趣。她坦率地说她不想谈恋爱，但他不理她。最有说服力的场景是当她告诉他：“我以前从来没有告诉过任何人”，而他把这件事说成是自己。他专注于外部细节——比如她喜欢史密斯一家——这与她作为一个人的身份无关。对于任何认为夏天是反派的人，我说：想得更深入一点。

How do you feel about being labelled as the manic pixie dream girl?你对被贴上狂躁的精灵梦想女孩的标签有什么感觉？
I don’t feel it’s accurate. I’m not a girl. I’m a woman. It doesn’t hurt my feelings, but it’s a way of making a woman one-dimensional and I’m not one-dimensional.我觉得不准确。我不是一个女孩。我是一个女人。它不会伤害我的感情，但这是一种让女人成为一维的方式，而我不是一维的。
New Girl was fantastic, with a great cast. Was most of it improvised? <新女孩>很棒，演员阵容很棒。大部分是即兴创作的吗？
No. We had such great writers, but we had freedom and there were a lot of improvised moments. As an actor, it helps to open up the dialogue and often, even though you’re saying words on a page, you’re improvising around them. The nice thing about that cast was that everyone could do it.不，我们有这么伟大的作家，但我们有自由，有很多即兴创作的时刻。作为一名演员，打开对话很有帮助，而且通常，即使你根据文本说单词，你也是在他们周围即兴创作。那个演员的好处是每个人都可以做到。
有很多即兴的时刻……丹斯切尔在《新女孩》中饰演杰西
Given his enigmatic ways, it still seems amazing that Prince contacted you to make a guest appearance on New Girl. You performed Fallinlove2nite with him in the 2014 episode, but was he aware of She & Him? 鉴于他神秘的方式，王子联系你在《新女孩》中做客串似乎令人惊讶。你在 2014 年的剧集中和他一起表演了 《坠入爱河2晚》，但他知道你的专辑吗？
Oh my God. I don’t know. I know he watched New Girl on the tour bus. When he contacted me through his manager, I thought someone was pranking me and I asked my agents: “Can you find out if this is really Prince’s manager?” I recorded the song for the show, but when he said they would put it out I was like: “What? A single with Prince?!” It was a pinch-myself moment.我的天啊。我不知道。我知道他在旅游巴士上看过《新女孩》。当他通过他的经纪人联系我时，我以为有人在恶作剧，我问我的经纪人：“你能查出这是否真的是普林斯的经纪人吗？”我为节目录制了这首歌，但当他说他们会把它放出来时，我想：“什么？和王子单独在一起？！”这时候我首先先掐一下自己。
Were you disappointed that The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy never got further than the first film? Did you enjoy playing Trillian? 你是否对《银河系漫游指南》从未比第一部电影更进一步感到失望？你喜欢玩 Trillian 吗？
I did, but the character was supposed to be part-alien and for some reason they cut that out. As an actor, I was heartbroken, but I loved the movie and the people. Douglas Adams [its creator] passed away before his time [at 49, in 2001], which was so sad. .的确，但这个角色应该是某种外星人，出于某种原因，他们把它剪掉了。作为一名演员，我很伤心，但我爱这部电影和人们。道格拉斯·亚当斯 [它的创造者] 早于他的时间 [2001 年 49 岁] 就去世了，这非常令人伤心。
“作为一名演员，我心碎了”……《银河系漫游指南》中的丹斯切尔。
When did you realise that [the 2008 thriller] The Happening wasn’t really “happening”?你什么时候意识到 [2008 年的惊悚片] The Happening 并不是真的“正在发生”？
[She laughs.] That film was pretty universally not loved! The director, M Night Shyamalan – Night – had a strong vision and we were all trying to do what he wanted. I trusted him, because he’s a great film-maker. I didn’t know until I saw the film, but I think he was going for a stylised horror, like The Birds, and maybe people didn’t get that. I had a blast working with Night and Mark Wahlberg, but while I’ve done serious drama, I’m not sure I fit with thrillers. I find most joy in doing comedy
（她笑了。）那部电影几乎不被普遍喜爱！导演 M Night Shyamalan – Night – 有很强的愿景，我们都在努力做他想做的事。我信任他，因为他是一位伟大的电影制作人。直到我看了这部电影我才知道，但我认为他会追求一种风格化的恐怖，比如 The Birds，也许人们没有明白这一点。我与 Night 和 Mark Wahlberg 合作非常愉快，但虽然我拍过严肃的戏剧，但我不确定我是否适合惊悚片。我觉得做喜剧最快乐。
佐伊·丹斯切尔：‘我不确定我是否适合惊悚片。我觉得做喜剧最快乐。
Your renditions of Dream a Little Dream of Me and I Put a Spell on You are among my favourite things in this world. Which singers do you like listening to?你演绎的 Dream a Little Dream of Me 和 I Put a Spell on You 是这个世界上我最喜欢的电影之一。你喜欢听哪些歌手？
Judy Garland was my favourite singer growing up. Then Linda Ronstadt, Karen Carpenter, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Astrud Gilberto, Sarah Vaughan. For guy singers: John Sebastian, Sam Cooke, Al Green. I like the old stuff. Like Summer, I do love the Smiths. Morrissey is an amazing songwriter. There’s definitely Smiths songs I would love to cover, but I want to concentrate on our own songs.udy Garland 是我成长过程中最喜欢的歌手。然后是琳达·朗施塔特、凯伦·卡彭特、艾拉·菲茨杰拉德、尼娜·西蒙娜、阿斯特鲁德·吉尔伯托、莎拉·沃恩。男歌手：John Sebastian、Sam Cooke、Al Green。我喜欢旧的东西。像夏天一样，我确实喜欢史密斯一家。莫里西是一位了不起的词曲作者。当然，我很想翻唱 Smiths 的歌曲，但我想专注于我们自己的歌曲。
You seem to radiate good feeling, but what recently made you rage (apart from a certain supreme court decision)? 你似乎给人有种脾气好的感觉，但最近是什么让你愤怒（除了某个最高法院的判决）？
That did make me rage! People will suffer and have complications in childbirth and maternal deaths will rise, although I’m more sad than angry that people won’t get the care they need. Rights were taken away without the support of the people, but hopefully it will be rescinded. I’m a pretty optimistic person.那确实让我很生气！人们将遭受痛苦并在分娩时出现并发症，孕产妇死亡率将上升，尽管我对人们无法得到他们需要的护理感到悲伤而不是愤怒。权利在没有人民支持的情况下被剥夺，但希望它会被撤销。我是一个相当乐观的人。
