Kendrick appears on the cover of June 2015 issue of Glamour. She talks about gender bias in Hollywood and turning 30.
I felt different at 29 because 29, to me, is 30. There are times when I still feel like an actual toddler in a grown-up—well, semi-grown-up—body. But other times I can’t wait to actually be 30, just so I can say things like, ‘I’m 30. I don’t have time for that. F–k off!’

Kendrick appears on the cover of May 2015 issue of Glamour UK. She talks about her role in Pitch Perfect 2 and why she still finds posing on red capet uncomfotable.
Every year that goes by, I think that my on-camera smile is going to get easier…And it’s got worse and worse, to the point where I’m giving that Britney Spears terrified smile, where the lips are upturned, but there’s nothing but fear in the eyes.

The Edit interview
Kendrick, says she’s not scared of growing old in Hollywood.
I know that things will be more complicated as an older actress, in ways that I can’t anticipate, but I would really enjoy getting to the point where the reason I’m getting roles or not isn’t based on if somebody thinks I’m hot enough.
Fashion cover
Kendrick appears on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Fashion magazine. She talks about her parents’ divorce, her passion for musical theatre, and finding her Prince Charming.
The wrong kind of guy to fall in love with is the guy who will let go of the steering wheel as a joke. A guy who finds it amusing to make you uncomfortable – which is more common that you’d think – is someone you want to avoid.
Nylon cover
Kendrick appears on the cover of the February 2015 issue of Nylon magazine. She talks about dating, confidence, and Ryan Gosling.
The great torture from my teen years into my mid-20s was trying to get attention from guys who were not interested in me—like, at all. So I’m happy that now my type is a nice guy who likes me back.

Co-starring Emily Blunt and Johnny Depp, and a large cast of others in
I had never considered myself a Cinderella. I always thought of myself as Little Red because I’m a little weirdo… So playing Cinderella, not only did I have to wrap my brain around being the sweet ingénue, but I had to get my voice ready to be more sweet and light and more of a true soprano, which I’ve never been before.
On Air interview
Kendrick gives an interview to Ryan Seacrest during On Air With Ryan Seacrest about her role in the film Into The Woods.
I love this version of Cinderella because she’s got Chris Pine (the Prince) chasing after her and she’s still not totally convinced and I love that about her. She’s a lady that knows she’s worth it. He’s a great singer! He was so shy about it in rehearsals. He’s like Frank Sinatra! I want this man to sing me to sleep.
Marie Claire cover
Kendrick appears on the cover of the December 2014 issue of Marie Claire magazine. She talks about having her looks scrutinized, her role in Into the Woods, and on taking a short break.
The character is thoughtful and complicated. You see what happens after she marries the prince, when you start to face problems in seemingly perfect situations. The interesting thing about her is she overthinks things, she’s uncertain – we don’t see that in most versions. In a lot of ways, I think it’s this incredibly brave story. She’s neglected and abused her entire life, she finally gets love and it’s not the kind of love she was looking for, and she stands up for herself.

Ultimately, she’s so confident and so ashamed of herself that she has to kind of retreat back to feeling like she can just talk her way around an apology without ever really giving one. And, I think that’s something that I struggle with, too. Being able to express myself directly, talking my way around it, and then expecting the other person to know what I’m feeling.
Private photos leaked

Anna Kendrick interview
Kendrick discusses her achievements and challenges over the last five years, with Richard Crouse.
If there is something really incredible everybody wants it so I audition. It’s a competitive business by nature. I know that room and that line of two hundred girls. I didn’t have to dig that deep to know the anxiety and self doubt. Obviously it was a lot more fun to be working on a movie where I’m doing that and not going home and crying into my pillow. That was a fun thing to perform and see inside her head and talk about the indignity of not being paid attention to when you are trying to perform for somebody.

Elle cover
Kendrick appears on the cover of the July 2014 issue of Elle magazine. She talks about her sex appeal and divorce.
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.

Not only is strategy not my strong suit, it doesn’t even enter into my thought process.
She talks about her recent experience buying a car with Aubrey Plaza.
I’m a terrible negotiator. The guy was doing all the cliché car-salesman things, playing hardball and going to talk to his manager, and all I could say was, ‘Why are you being so mean? Stop it!

I’m very excited! I mean I’ve signed on with no script, so you know, if it becomes about parasailing instead of singing, don’t blame me!
Anna Kendrick interview
Kendrick discusses her encounter with Beyonce and Katy Perry during the Grammys night. Kendrick (on Beyonce):
We said we’ll just walk past her to get some of the aura. We walked past. My friends was like, dude, she was like motioning to you and You just walked past her. And the panic. I didn’t quite know what to do. But I thought once in a lifetime, just do it. I went back and I just — I was like, I’m so sorry to do this, I just wanted to meet you, you’re such an inspiration. She stood up, she was so nice and points to Jay-Z and she was like, we just watched you on the Kennedy center honors, and you’re so cute in your little red dress, which means she actually watched it, or I was having a stroke. And I imagined the entire thing.
