I feel like you can't get an audience to like your character if she's actually cool, but you can if she's trying to be cool and sometimes fails.

More quotes by Anna Kendrick
I'm so humble it's crazy. I'm like the Kanye West of humility.
Anna Kendrick
People like to make fun of the fans who camp out but people have renaissance fairs people do Civil War re-enactments people do what they like. I'm tired of hearing people rage on the fans. If you don't like Twilight, don't buy a ticket.
Anna Kendrick
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.
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
I like to think of myself less like 'an adult' and more like a 'former fetus.'
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 you tell a guy you don't like being tickled and he tickles you anyway, that's a red flag.
Anna Kendrick
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.
Anna Kendrick
When you first saw 'The Truman Show,' did anyone else walk around for the next week not picking your nose just in case?
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
It's cute how I used to think this 'barely holding it together' feeling was temporary.
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
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 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 feel like I'm still learning a lot. I think there's a tendency for people who are just doing their first couple of films that I see now where they seem to be really resentful of the technical limitations that come along with filmmaking.
Anna Kendrick
I want to do # stage again, because there just aren't words for how great it is. People say that all the time, There's nothing like live theater, blah blah, but it's really true. I see a show and I know how they feel, and it feels great.
Anna Kendrick
An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition.
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
If a guy was like, 'Let me serenade you,' and it was bad, and I had to lie about it - can't have it.
Anna Kendrick
My parents got married late and they had kids late, so I never felt a social or cultural thing to be married or pregnant or a homeowner by a certain age.
Anna Kendrick
