Kendrick: "Wearing dresses ... is certainly not something I'm comfortable with on a day-to-day basis."

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.

Kendrick: "[One time when I went on an audition as a child actor] there was a roomful of kids and they taught us this jingle which we all had to sing. I remember looking around: everyone seemed so thrilled to be singing it. Then the casting director stopped us and said, 'Anna, can you smile more please? You don't seem like you're very happy.' I wasn't so good at doing that cheesy little kid thing."
