Zoey focuses on exercise. “I’m not going to give up salt and sugar because I want to look like Adriana Lima,” she told Teen Vogue. “But I am going to work out to make myself feel good in my own body.” Her workout of choice? The Tracy Anderson Method. She broke down her routine based on the dance-inspired workout for the magazine.
“I’ve been working for a decade and I never once thought about building a vacation into the schedule,” she recently told Porter. “I’ve been trying to establish boundaries for myself, so I can lead a life where I’m not living to work,” she says. “The scary realization is that an actor who does nothing but act is kind of boring. If I do that, all I can talk about is acting. Or myself. And I refuse – I refuse – to be an uninteresting person!”
Zoey once revealed to Cosmopolitan that she uses anxiety to her benefit. “I came into this world with anxiety. I used to hold my breath from anxiety when I was a baby and it would make me faint,” she said. “There are times when it’s debilitating. And there are times when it makes me laugh, like in the car today when I lost the plot entirely. But I actually feel like my superpower is my anxiety. It’s one of my key motivators and it’s at the center of my ambition.”
Zoey practices self-love, with the help of her famous mother, Lea Thompson. “I love something my mum told me once – I do believe some of the simplest things in life are the most profound – that, ‘you are enough, and you are really beautiful.’ I think that is really comforting and I think people need to listen to that and learn from that,” she told Glamour UK.
“My greatest passion in life is food and eating. I’ve always had those passions, but I didn’t really show the world until now, on my Instagram. I’m getting a lot of accusations, like, ‘Who’s cooking for you? Who did this?’ Nobody is like, ‘Wow, beautiful work!’ Nobody wants to believe it’s me. But that makes sense, because I can’t do anything, so they’re confused that I can do this. The other day, someone was like, ‘You know, Zoey, you don’t, like, ‘do things.’ You don’t like games or sports.’ I was like, ‘Am I the most boring person in the world?’ But yeah, I have nothing else except food and — sort of — acting,” she told Vulture.
“One of my therapeutic outlets I’ve been missing, which I didn’t realize was such a factor in my life, is loudly singing in my car,” Zoey told Vulture. “Like, I’ll sing in my house or in my shower or whatever, like other people, but I also spent two hours a day screaming pop music in my car. And I genuinely think it’s affected my happiness that I haven’t been able to do it. I think I’ve cracked the code for why, when I’m on-location, I also feel sad. So the other day, I just sat in my car for two hours and sang really loudly.”
