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.

More quotes by 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
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
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.
Anna Kendrick
I was at awards shows and felt really lost so it was good to play someone who was really lost.
Anna Kendrick
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.
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.
Anna Kendrick
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.
Anna Kendrick
I feel like if it's not scaring you, you're doing it wrong.
Anna Kendrick
The most frustrating things is when you read something that has so much potential, but there are other little red flags where you think, I don't know that I would see eye-to-eye with the people making this film. And that is the worst environment to enter, and absolutely not worth the risk.
Anna Kendrick
Nobody pulls a prank like George Clooney.
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 fall in love with characters when they're out of their element or are uncomfortable and you really feel for them in a knee-jerk sympathetic way.
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
If I die unexpectedly can everyone just do the right thing and pretend I was a way better person than I am?
Anna Kendrick
I think my iTunes is a kind of strange and embarrassing mix of show tunes and artists that I have no perception of whether or not they're huge or not, you know? I'm the kind of person who doesn't realize that The Arcade Fire is a big deal, but then I expect everybody to know Cocoon, and people tend to not know Cocoon.
Anna Kendrick
I'm the person who wouldn't send back my food even if I got steak when I'd ordered fish.
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
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
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.
Anna Kendrick
We should be thanking Apple for launching the $10,000 'apple watch' as the new gold standard in douchebag detection.
