Anna Kendrick
I'm a big fan of '30 Rock,' which I think is the most genius show on television.
My favorite movie is 'The Women' from 1939. It's been my favorite movie since I was like 12 years old. I love the dialogue, really. It's just a lot of really strong female performances. Rosalind Russell kills it, you know.
I feel like if it's not scaring you, you're doing it wrong.Collection: Feels
It's cute how I used to think this 'barely holding it together' feeling was temporary.Collection: Cute
This isnt the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is a time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love, a lot. Major in philosophy, because theres no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind and change it again, because nothings permanent.Collection: Falling In Love
I like my men like I like my coffee. Silent.Collection: Coffee
I like to think of myself less like 'an adult' and more like a 'former fetus.'Collection: Thinking
Sometimes the best part of my day is imagining what I'm gonna eat when I get off work.Collection: Sometimes
Sometimes I think, I need to think before I speak. And then other times I think, I shouldn't leave the house or interact with people ever.Collection: Thinking
I feel love for people that I have loved, and I think that's so beautiful, and I think that's such an important lesson for children that people can have disagreements but it doesn't mean one is bad and one is good.Collection: Beautiful
If I die unexpectedly can everyone just do the right thing and pretend I was a way better person than I am?Collection: Way
You listen to your favorite song just until you're almost getting sick of it, and then it's so fun to rediscover it after a couple of months.Collection: Song

I had a confusing relationship with my Barbies, but I love trolls. I tortured my Barbies.Collection: Confusing
I feel like I've got it together when things are going well with my family.Collection: Together
I shouldn't leave the house or interact with people ever.Collection: People
The music industry seems scary to me. I mean the film industry is crazy enough so the music industry to me seems like the wild, wild West. Like I would just never dare.Collection: Crazy
We should be thanking Apple for launching the $10,000 'apple watch' as the new gold standard in douchebag detection.Collection: Apples
I’ve never felt like I’ve exactly traded on my looks. When I was a teenager, I was an ultra-late bloomer, and my mom would say it was a blessing, because it means you never have to wonder if guys are only interested in you because you’ve got boobs. I would have been thrilled if guys were interested in me because of my boobs! Similarly, I think I’m lucky that I’ve never had a crisis about whether the only reason I’m successful is because I’m crazy hot. It’s not something that crosses my mind.Collection: Mom
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.’Collection: School
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.Collection: Character
The most frustrating things is when you read something that has so much potential, but there are other little red flags where you think, I don't know that I would see eye-to-eye with the people making this film. And that is the worst environment to enter, and absolutely not worth the risk.Collection: Eye
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.Collection: Mom
People who care about celebrity babies are creepy. What will her baby look like?! A baby. Youve seen a baby right? Itll look like that.Collection: Baby
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.Collection: Reality
If you tell a guy you don't like being tickled and he tickles you anyway, that's a red flag.Collection: Red Flags
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.Collection: Doors
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!"Collection: Waiting
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.Collection: Girl
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.Collection: People
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.Collection: Beautiful
I can't cook to save my life but I can bake a flour-less chocolate-hazelnut tort with a spicy caramel sauce.Collection: Chocolate
I was at awards shows and felt really lost so it was good to play someone who was really lost.Collection: Play
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.Collection: Fun
As an actress you're perpetually about to be unemployed. That fear - when you have two parents who worked 9-to-5 jobs and went through periods of being unemployed - is real. Those were not welcome times in my childhood. Working 14 hours a day isn't sustainable, but I prefer it to doing fewer films. I might as well be doing the thing that I wanted to do my whole life.Collection: Real
I'm so humble it's crazy. I'm like the Kanye West of humility.Collection: Crazy
Similarly, I think I'm lucky that I've never had a crisis about whether the only reason I'm successful is because I'm crazy hot. It's not something that crosses my mind.Collection: Crazy
If a guy was like, 'Let me serenade you,' and it was bad, and I had to lie about it - can't have it.Collection: Lying
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.Collection: Communication
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.Collection: Character
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?"Collection: Thinking
Can we drop the pretense of Presidents Day and just call it I needed a long weekend because Valentines Day is garbageCollection: Valentines Day
R.Pattz fever is a lot louder than George Clooney fever. The younger girls are a little louder.Collection: Girl
For people whose job it is to make sure we make money, there's a lot of pressure.Collection: People
