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.

More quotes by Anna Kendrick
I feel like people want there to be this mystery between film and theater, but I just kind of went where I got jobs, you know?
Anna Kendrick
If I die unexpectedly can everyone just do the right thing and pretend I was a way better person than I am?
Anna Kendrick
If I see a chapstick that I've never tried, I have to buy it. And then once that door's been opened, I have to check the whole store to see if there are more chapsticks that I don't have.
Anna Kendrick
I rarely get recognised. It's always a shock when someone notices me. I always think they must be confusing me with someone else.
Anna Kendrick
I think a good script is a rare thing, and I think no matter who you are you have to fight for the good ones.
Anna Kendrick
The music industry seems scary to me. I mean the film industry is crazy enough so the music industry to me seems like the wild, wild West. Like I would just never dare.
Anna Kendrick
I feel like I've got it together when things are going well with my family.
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
I was at awards shows and felt really lost so it was good to play someone who was really lost.
Anna Kendrick
I guess as long as people think of me for different ages, I'll trust their opinion. I remember noticing one year that Michelle Monaghan played 34 and 19, so I've kind of clung to that as my justification that I can be Jake Gyllenhaal's wife and a freshman in college in the same year.
Anna Kendrick
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
Sometimes I think, I need to think before I speak. And then other times I think, I shouldn't leave the house or interact with people ever.
Anna Kendrick
'Rocket Science' is really where I fell in love with filmmaking, I think 'Camp' was incredible, but it was so bizarre, and I was trying to find my footing in this world where you don't have an audience for immediate validation.
Anna Kendrick
The most common thing that I get is, ‘Am I the only one who doesn’t think that Anna Kendrick is pretty? And youre like, ‘No, you’re not the only one. Arguably, all of the boys in my high school agree with you.’
Anna Kendrick
An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition.
Anna Kendrick
I'm so humble it's crazy. I'm like the Kanye West of humility.
Anna Kendrick
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!
Anna Kendrick
It's a lot easier to act when the writing is good. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to figure out 'Well, why did I say this next?'
Anna Kendrick
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 happen to be a huge 'Lord of the Rings' fan. I do an annual marathon of the extended editions.
