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.
She Takes Me Time

"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!"
Anxiety Is Her "Superpower"

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."
She Has a Go-To Self-Love Mantra
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.
She Loves to Eat
"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.
Singing Is Her Therapy
"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."
