More quotes by Anna Kendrick
I'm constantly playing this game in my head where I'm thinking, 'Can this quote be pared down and misinterpreted?' It doesn't matter what outlet I'm talking to and how comprehensive the interview is, because I have to think in terms of, 'Right, but 'People' magazine could just take this one quote and take it out of context.'

I like figuring out where I need to be mentally so that I'm not thinking about the camera and that it's second nature. I want to get to a place where I can exist within the confines of what you can do with filmmaking and not have to think about it.
Anna Kendrick

I'm into 'The Walking Dead,' 'Shaun of the Dead,' obviously, and I've seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on 'Game of Thrones.' Weirdly, it wasn't until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.

My parents were really, really cool about supporting what I wanted to do at a really young age. I think I was about 10 when I caught the bug.

I think a gentleman is someone who holds the comfort of other people above their own. The instinct to do that is inside every good man, I believe. The rules about opening doors and buying dinner and all of that other 'gentleman' stuff is a chess game, especially these days.
Anna Kendrick
I can't cook to save my life but I can bake a flour-less chocolate-hazelnut tort with a spicy caramel sauce.
Anna Kendrick
I feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.
Anna Kendrick
I remember hearing once that good girls don't get caught. I think that's sort of a lot of what my teen years were like.
Anna Kendrick
For people whose job it is to make sure we make money, there's a lot of pressure.
Anna Kendrick
I'm a pretty big dork. It's crazy. I'm one of those people who grew up with all kinds of musicals, but I was right at that age where 'Rent' was a big deal for me and for my friends.
Anna Kendrick
If you tell a guy you don't like being tickled and he tickles you anyway, that's a red flag.
Anna Kendrick
I get really excited every time there's a female character who is really strong because a lot of females in film are really soft.

Can we drop the pretense of Presidents Day and just call it I needed a long weekend because Valentines Day is garbage
