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.

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.

The thing is, my appearance – that’s never been my moneymaker. I’m fine being small. I’m fine being all the things I am. And I’m happy I’m not supposed to be on the 50 Most Beautiful list all the time, because that would be super f**king stressful.

I think there are rock stars within every subgenre, and for people who are obsessed with musical theater Sutton Foster and Audra MacDonald are like Beyonce to them. I'm sure the a cappella world has their own version of that, and that exists in every geeky subculture.

You can't tell an audience to like a character. And I think the best way to get the audience on someone's side is to embarrass them.

You listen to your favorite song just until you're almost getting sick of it, and then it's so fun to rediscover it after a couple of months.

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.’

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?

I like my men like I like my coffee. Silent.

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.
