Zooey and sister Emily did an interview with Digital Spy about working together on Bones.

Why has it taken you this long to appear on screen together?
Zooey: “We have different career paths and it seems weird, but it’s difficult to schedule. I’d talked about doing a Bones episode for a couple of years but it never ended up working out because with films you get a job and sometimes have to leave the next week. I think we both like having our own space and the one thing I would fear about working with a family member is you want to make sure you don’t bring any silly bickering or family things to set, although we don’t really do that anymore. I just wanted to make sure everything was right and it was really fun – Emily was extremely welcoming and accomodating and very sweet. I’m glad I did it.”

What was it like working together?
Emily: “It was great, especially on the first day because it wasn’t that hectic. We had a scene that was just Ryan O’Neal and the two of us, which was really nice. We’ve never worked together before except our own plays we’ve done together!”
Zooey: “It was really fun to watch Emily work and I enjoyed it and I’m excited to see the episode.”

How involved were you both with helping devise Zooey’s character?
Emily: “Hart [Hanson] came to me with the idea of a Christmas episode. He told me some things about it and that she would be my relative.”
Zooey: “I was nervous because I’ve never signed on to anything without reading or knowing what the character is first, so it was a little scary for me! Obviously I knew all the writers on the show are really good and they weren’t going to hang me out to dry, but it was a leap of faith which I’m not used to. They were very receptive and let me give some of my ideas and we were able to come up with a cool character.”

Is there any chance of Zooey returning to the show in the future?
Zooey: “It’s Emily’s set, so…”
Emily: “We’d love to have you back any time! I think it is open-ended and it’s open-ended for a reason. It took us five seasons to figure out when Zooey could come on the show so it may take another five seasons for her to come back!”
Zooey: “Season ten!”
Emily: “We’re so happy it worked out. It was something we have been trying to do from the beginning, it’s just scheduling that is hard.”

Zooey & M. Ward recently talked to Paste Magazine about She & Him’s sophmore album titled “Volume Two”. Paste’s December/January issue will have more information on the record!

The new album was recorded in Portland and Los Angeles over the past year-and-a-half, and will feature all-new original material penned by actress/chanteuse Zooey Deschanel and produced by M. Ward. “I think that the dark shades that were on the last record are maybe a little bit darker on the new record, and the brighter shades on the last record are a little bit brighter on the new record,” Ward tells Paste. “I think that people are going to hear more contrasts, which is always something that I shoot for in the studio.”

Volume One was essentially recorded in a vacuum free of outside pressure and expectations, an atmosphere that the duo tried to recreate for Volume Two. “I think we approached the second record organically, the same as we did for the first record,” Deschanel tells Paste. “But the songs are different so the record is different. We had a bit more time and resources so we were able to work a little deeper.”

After almost two years of balancing She & Him recording sessions and nationwide touring with their other endeavors (like Ward’s solo work and side-projects including Monsters of Folk, and Deschanel’s recent roles in movies including 500 Days of Summer) the two are still finding new reasons to be excited about their once-seemingly-unlikely musical partnership.

“Zooey writes pretty often and she doesn’t need any sort of encouragement,” Ward says. “What I wanted to do was to show more dimensions to Zooey’s writing, and I’m excited for people to hear the record because I think it’s going to continue to show the strength of her writing.”
