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.
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.
I fall in love with characters when they're out of their element or are uncomfortable and you really feel for them in a knee-jerk sympathetic way.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can we drop the pretense of Presidents Day and just call it I needed a long weekend because Valentines Day is garbage
I shouldnt leave the house or interact with people ever.
I graduated from high school early so I could move to New York to do 'A Little Night Music' out of the New York City Opera.
