I like to think of myself less like 'an adult' and more like a 'former fetus.'

More quotes by Anna Kendrick
An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition.
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 happen to be a huge 'Lord of the Rings' fan. I do an annual marathon of the extended editions.
Anna Kendrick
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.
Anna Kendrick
I started auditioning when I was about 10 and I didn't get my first job until I was 12, and two years at that age is really hard.
Anna Kendrick
My mom was always a fan of just really elegant, sophisticated pieces. I mean we grew up in Maine, so we didn't have a lot of call for black tie or anything, but I think I definitely got that sensibility from her.
Anna Kendrick
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
My goal all along has just been to work and support myself. I've been really lucky to walk away from the 'Twilight' series unscathed. Somebody asked me recently what it's like to be a star. I thought that was the strangest question. If you saw my day-to-day life, the word 'star' just doesn't apply.
Anna Kendrick
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.
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
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 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!
Anna Kendrick
The consummate gentleman on the planet today is George Clooney, who never fails to go the extra mile for people. Every person matters to George.
Anna Kendrick
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.
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'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.'
Anna Kendrick
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. They would drive me down to New York if there were auditions. When I was 12, I did this show on Broadway called 'High Society,' so we moved to New York for the run of that.
Anna Kendrick
I like my men like I like my coffee. Silent.
Anna Kendrick
R.Pattz fever is a lot louder than George Clooney fever. The younger girls are a little louder.
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.
