Quote

One of the surprises of being a grown-up is embracing the fact that you see your friends when you are both available. It's not like you hang out all the time.... It's just the reality.

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
Image
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.

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

Nobody pulls a prank like George Clooney.

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!

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.

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?'

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.’

If I die unexpectedly can everyone just do the right thing and pretend I was a way better person than I am?
Anna Kendrick
Image
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
Image
An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition.

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

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.

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

Image
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 had a confusing relationship with my Barbies, but I love trolls. I tortured my Barbies.

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.'
