| Emily Deschanel Trivia |
| Emily Deschanel Quotes | - Emily is a vegan.
- Emily lives in both New York and Los Angeles.
- Emily owns a duplex and lives with her sister, Zooey.
- Emily attended Boston University with actress Ginnifer Goodwin.
- Emily owned a dog, a female Wheaten Terrier, who now lives with her ex-boyfriend.
|
| - I was in school with Ginnifer [Goodwin]; she's a couple of years younger than I am. She's supersweet. She told me I gave her a pep talk once, even though I can't remember it. And [Michael] Chiklis - I love 'The Shield' - he's so good. When I was in school, he came to speak to us about acting and told this story about how he had As You Like It on his resume; and a casting director asked if it were a soap opera. The casting guy said, "ABC? NBC?" and Chiklis said, "No, Shakespeare." I'll never forget it.
- I'm a vegan, but you can be really unhealthy as a vegan, too. Vegan just means that you don't use animal products, so you don't wear leather, you don't wear wool, and you don't eat animal products. But you can eat french fries and stuff like that all day long.
