"We started Hello Giggles for fun, but now I feel like I'm on a mission to make it a thing that helps other women. If there had been a place like that for me when I was 13, I would have felt so much less alone."

She added: "I was so tired of every site having these comment sections that were pure, pure toxic energy. I put myself out there; it's part of my job, and I get it: people will attack me.

"At first I was thrown off, but now I have a pretty thick skin about it. But if someone were to do that to one of our 13-year-old bloggers, I would kill them!"

Deschanel continued: "People really teased me. It was really bad. Nothing could be as hard as middle school. There were insecurities that I think I would have worked through a lot faster if I'd had certain tools and could have connected with certain people earlier."

Asked about her ideal guy, Deschanel said: "I'd be more likely to go for somebody who is like me. Well, I like creative people, so whatever that means… Yeah, authentic and creative."

She added that she believed in true love, explaining: "My parents have been married for 40 years and my grandparents were married for 70 years. I come from a long line of true loves."
