Some quotations from Anna Hendrick are. All quotations are taken from the following Anna Kendrick fan website: http://anna-kendrick.net/?page_id=485

• "“I’ve been pretty lucky in terms of the films I’ve been in, and having a slow and steady build. I have done smaller films that a lot of people in the industry have seen, and I feel sort of fortunate that it hasn’t been this overnight thing. I’m hoping that it continues to be this slow and steady thing so that I can take a deep breath and get used to it."
• "One thing about my playing this role [Jessica Stanley] was that I felt like the only real way for me to play a girl who, by all accounts, should really be tall, thin, and blonde, was just kind of make it really desperate and needy and just a girl who is constantly trying to be liked, and comes of a little pathetic doing it."
• "An actor should always let humility outweigh ambition."
