Quote

Humility was an important part of the way I grew up. And I found that to be less common when I moved to California. That's not to say humble people don't exist there, but ambition seems really important.

There's always moments where you creep yourself out, and you think you heard something and you convince yourself that some spirit is in the room with you, but truly, I don't believe in any of that kind of thing. A lot of my friends really do.

When you first saw 'The Truman Show,' did anyone else walk around for the next week not picking your nose just in case?

I feel like if it's not scaring you, you're doing it wrong.

I'm a big fan of '30 Rock,' which I think is the most genius show on television.

There have definitely been more than a few moments in my life where I'm wondering where the next paycheck will come from and how I'm gonna pay rent.

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.

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.

I rarely get recognised. It's always a shock when someone notices me. I always think they must be confusing me with someone else.

Similarly, I think I'm lucky that I've never had a crisis about whether the only reason I'm successful is because I'm crazy hot. It's not something that crosses my mind.

To not be self-conscious of your appearance is huge, and something that I desperately hope to carry into film at some point in my useless life - to not be thinking, My ear looks weird from this angle, why is the camera over there?
Anna Kendrick
Image
I like sets that feel small. Sets that feel really big are difficult. When you're on a big set it feels like there's constant mis-communication.

I shouldn't leave the house or interact with people ever.

I can't cook to save my life but I can bake a flour-less chocolate-hazelnut tort with a spicy caramel sauce.

This isnt the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is a time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love, a lot. Major in philosophy, because theres no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind and change it again, because nothings permanent.

If you tell a guy you don't like being tickled and he tickles you anyway, that's a red flag.

My family has had to become quite understanding about me not returning phone calls when I'm filming.

With any other movie, you're entering new territory, so it's quite different to be involved in something where it's the same characters, and the same people.

You can relax more when you're playing a silly character than when you're playing a really rigid character. But to be fair, I think George Clooney is a bigger teenager than any of the 'Twilight' cast. He's the guy throwing a football at your head and then hiding around the corner, pretending it wasn't him!

There are times when I still feel like an actual toddler in a grown-up - well, semi-grown-up - body. But other times I can't wait to actually be 30, just so I can say things like, I'm 30. I don't have time for that. F - k off!
