I felt different at 29 because 29, to me, is 30. There are times when I still feel like an actual toddler in a grown-up – well, semi-grown-up – body. – Anna Kendrick
I have the advantage of being pretty small, so if I’m flying myself, I’m flying coach. To save the money. I just put in my headphones, and it’s no big thing. I keep my head down, wear a hoodie or a hat – but sometimes not even that. I’m small. People miss me. – Anna Kendrick
I hate when people think you’re broken because your parents are divorced. And I really reject the idea of staying together for the kids. If they’re growing up in a house that’s not healthy, it’s better to know that’s not the model of what marriage should be. – Anna Kendrick
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? – Anna Kendrick
I guess my silly dream is to be on ‘Game of Thrones.’ I don’t think that I can do that, but that’s my silly dream. And there are a lot of American comedies, particularly on NBC, that I would, I would love to do. – 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
Voiceover excited me and terrified me. I thought I was going to be really bad at it. It was so freeing and fun to not have to wait for 10 minutes between every setup. They just throw you a direction, and you just say it. – 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
The sneaker heels thing is a myth. They were saying, ‘They’re like sneakers.’ No, they’re like heels is what they’re like. That’s like saying a denim skirt is like jeans. It’s not. – 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 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
If I could play the ukulele like Zooey Deschanel, I would find my own personal M. Ward, and we would do a side album; but I don’t, you know? – 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
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
After we shot the first ‘Twilight,’ we organized our own wrap party. We really didn’t know what this was going to be. Something like that can come at you unexpectedly, and you just have to try your best to deal with it. – 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 think I’m trouble-adjacent. 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. I skirted the stuff that other kids were doing because the idea of actually getting in trouble was not appealing to me, but I still wanted to have adventures. – Anna Kendrick
