Whether you've seen her in Twilight, Pitch Perfect, or read her book, Scrappy Little Nobody, Anna Kendrick gives genuine, authentic advice. She shows us how there is something special in being real and not putting up with any fake behavior. Here are ten Anna Kendrick quotes about being yourself, fashion, love, and going after what you want.
1. “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.”
2. “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.”
3. “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.”
4. “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.”
5. “I've never really gone for the razzle-dazzle types: no quarterbacks, no flashy guys, and no Prince Charmings.”
6. “If I took myself too seriously, I would be a mess every day because the world keeps my ego in check.”
7. “I love rules and I love following them, unless that rule is stupid.”
8. “I gave up on being nice. I started putting more value on other qualities instead: passion, bravery, intelligence, practicality, humor, patience, fairness, sensitivity. Those.”
9. “Having to fight for the thing you want doesn't mean you deserve it any less."
10. “The crazy wants out.”
