“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“But here's the thing about crazy: It. Wants. Out.”
Anna Kendrick, Scrappy Little Nobody“I guess as long as people think of me for different ages, I'll trust their opinion.

Anna Kendrick“My family has had to become quite understanding about me not returning phone calls when I'm filming.”

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“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.”
Anna Kendrick“Sometimes when I try to make jokes or have a sense of humor in interviews, it doesn't go over very well. But Twitter made my life easier in this way that I didn't expect. It would have taken probably 10 times as long for people to accept my voice and my sense of humor if I didn't have Twitter.”
Anna Kendrick“In my dreams, I have Keira Knightley's eyebrows.”
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?'”
