Anna Kendrick

I never have used a trainer. I\'m slightly intimidated by the idea of somebody in my face.

I admit that I look at my social media when I\'m killing time, like on a plane and such. It\'s just less embarrassing getting caught on Twitter than getting caught playing Candy Crush.

In my dreams, I have Keira Knightley\'s eyebrows.

To me, accessorizing is the most fun part of an outfit. While I don\'t think you can\'t rely on accessories to make a dress that isn\'t working work, I do love jewelry and handbags more than anything.

I am neither such a great songwriter or such a great singer that the world must hear my album. There\'s just no point to make.

If I took myself too seriously, I would be a mess every day because the world keeps my ego in check.

\'The Last Five Years,\' we sang almost everything live. When we\'re in a convertible on the West Side Highway, there was no point - it\'s not going to be usable sound. But any time we were indoors, we were singing live.

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.

I guess I feel I\'m masquerading as an adult when I don\'t have the kind of friendships and routines that I thought you were supposed to have as an adult. It\'s the \'Friends\' lied to me! syndrome.

After doing \'Pitch Perfect,\' I didn\'t expect to do other musicals, but then I was offered \'The Last Five Years\' and \'Into the Woods,\' which are two of the greatest pieces of theater that I can think of. So obviously I wasn\'t going to be like, \'Oh I\'m trying to really stay away from musicals right now, so thanks, but I\'ll pass.\'

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.

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.

People send you stuff if you say you\'re interested in something. I have a tonne of body lotion. So I could mention I was interested in, you know, surfing, and some company would send me a surfboard.

I used to exercise an hour every day - no excuses. I live in absolutes: I either exercise every day, or I let myself off the hook. I\'m trying to find that balance of working out three or four days a week and sticking to it.

I find getting my nails done the most tedious thing. I\'m such a fidgety person; it\'s like torture. Everybody loves massages; I don\'t know what my problem is. I feel like I have to talk to the masseuses.

I\'m really into lip cream. I have this one by Hourglass: it\'s an oil with this gold-tip applicator, and it\'s schmancy-schmancy. When you get to the point that your lips are cracking, the price is worth it.

I never thought that tailoring was something that normal people did; I just thought that it was something that guys who had suits made of Italian silk depended on, and I wish someone had told me what a difference tailoring makes!

\'Cinderella\' the cartoon scared me. I watched the bits with the mice, and the scenes with the stepsisters ripping her dress apart scared me. Cinderella was never even my favorite character in \'Into the Woods.\'

The movie industry can be tricky and occasionally creepy, and I have this sense that the music industry is just shady as hell. I don\'t want to be a part of it.

It\'s almost better that Twitter limits me to 140 characters. There\'s only so much trouble I can get in.

For every person that says, \'I love your work, and my daughter thinks you\'re great, and we watch all your movies,\' and is very kind, there are 10 more that are like, \'Who are you? What\'s your name? Are you on \'House of Cards\'?\'

The music for \'The Last Five Years\' is like running a 26-mile marathon, and singing Sondheim is like ballroom-dancing up Everest.

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?

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.

When you have no money in New York, you\'re living in a shoebox, and it\'s freezing. When you have no money in L.A., you\'re living in a slightly larger shoebox, and you can go outside and feel okay about your life for a minute.

When you grow up middle class, you just always feel like you\'ve got to be working, or you won\'t be able to pay the bills.

I do admit that I\'ve never been one to fit in easily to any given pattern. It\'s not my choice. It\'s just the way I am. So if the characters I wind up playing are all a bit different, it must be because that\'s the way I like it. Anna Kendrick is different, and she\'s going to stay that way.

There\'s a difference between being an actress who can sing and being a Sally Song-and-Dance.

If I\'m on set and there\'s no other option, I get on a treadmill, but that\'s my most hated thing.

I like to buy a new fragrance for each film. I\'ll go out in the city where I\'m filming and snap it up. The one I have for \'Into the Woods\' is Terry de Gunzburg Flagrant Delice, which I bought in London.
