New Moon’s Anna Kendrick did an interview with NY Daily News where she talked about how grateful she is to have started her career in NY rather than L.A:

Q. As a cast member in “New Moon,” you’re surrounded by young actors transitioning to adult careers. Are you glad you started out in New York rather than L.A.?

A. Absolutely. Thank God I started on stage and not in film. On a film set, you’re sort of coddled, but when you’re on stage, even as a 12-year-old, you’re expected to be a professional and deliver every night. It was hard work, and sometimes it was really lonely, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Vanity Fair: Opening Acts - Anna Kendrick

Hey Twilighters, Anna Kendrick is featured in Vanity Fair Opening Acts. Check it out! -Liana- (via www.vanityfair.com) 

Every month, the first page of the magazine’s Vanities section features an up-and-coming actor with a hotly anticipated project in the pipeline. Catch up with the latest crop of Vanities “openers.”Plus: Flash back to the Vargas-inspired pinup series that ran from September 2006 to March 2009.

January 2010: Anna Kendrick
Age: 24. Provenance: Portland, Maine. It’s a vampire world and we’re just dying in it: Kendrick made her name in the original Twilight movie—“I had no idea; none of us knew”—as mere mortal Jessica Stanley, “Bella’s friend from school.” She reprises the role in The Twilight Saga: New Moon, in theaters now. And for the adults in the audience … Kendrick shines as George Clooney’s tightly wound underling in Jason Reitman’s well-timed dramedy about corporate cost-cutting, Up in the Air, which is already generating Oscar buzz. “I was shooting them both at the same time,” says Kendrick. “It was great because my character in Up in the Air is so rigid, and it was fun to go to Vancouver [to the set of New Moon] and play the silliest girl on the planet!” —Krista Smith

AskMen: Anna Kendrick Interview

Hey Twilighters, AskMen interviewed Anna Kendrick... check this out! -Liana- (via AskMen.com)

Celebrity is just beginning to dawn on this Twilight alum as she reprises her role as Jessica Stanley in both New Moon and Eclipse. But Anna Kendrick’s star is going to rise above just the tween-lit crowd when audiences catch up with her starring role opposite George Clooney in Juno director Jason Reitman’s latest Oscar-calibrated fare, Up in the Air.

Anna Kendrick was born on August 9, 1985, in Portland, Maine. Her first stab at acting was a fruitful disappointment. In answer to a casting call for the Broadway adaptation of Annie, Kendrick and her family nabbed a New York agent to secure an audition. The Annie role didn’t work out, but the agent landed Kendrick the role of Dinah in the Broadway musical High Society. Kendrick garnered a Tony nomination for the role (she was the second youngest ever to do so). The stage actress made her film debut in Camp, a role that nabbed her the Best Debut nod from the Independent Spirit Awards. The Spirit Awards later honored her with a Best Supporting Actress nomination for her turn as the live-wire debater in Rocket Science. It was this performance that caught the attention of Juno director Jason Reitman, who began to cater a role in his latest movie specifically for the young starlet. So in between her work basking in the Twilight series, Kendrick was going toe-to-toe with George Clooney in Up in the Air, playing a newbie corporate downsizer who develops an efficient way to layoff people online.

AskMen.com : In Up in the Air, you play the new girl at the office who's in way over her head. When you came on the set, did you feel like the new girl who's in way over her head amidst veterans like George Clooney and Vera Farmiga? Anna Kendrick : I think I absolutely connected to the idea that Natalie is trying to sit at the grown-up table and constantly trying to prove that she’s good enough to kind of outperform expectations about her age and gender. That was an easy thing to relate to on this film. I’ve worked with phenomenally talented people, but predominantly young actors. I felt like I was trying to sit at the grown-up table and [was] trying to keep up. That pressure was definitely there.

AM : Was it a learning experience? AK : The scene that I have with George and Vera [Farmiga], where we’re talking about the expectations that we have for our lives -- it was so amazing to get to watch them work. I felt like I was watching Cirque du Soleil.

AM : Apparently Reitman wrote this character thinking of you. AK : I wish he told me that because I thought he absolutely despised me.

AM : Why did you think that? AK : He told me that he was trying to stay very reserved and very professional. He thought giving away that he had me in mind would be putting too much pressure on me. It would be like: “Hey, I wrote this for you, so don’t screw it up”. So he was trying to just stay very professional, but it came across as a little cold. So I thought, I’ve done nothing to impress him; he hates me. So when I got offered the job, I was thinking this makes no sense. I’m not this famous person where the studio would want me. The director clearly hates me. Then I had lunch with him, and he told me all of this. That definitely made me a lot more comfortable. We still debate about whether he should or shouldn’t have maintained the professionalism or let me know that he was rooting for me. I don’t think he should have told me that he wrote it for me, but maybe not making me feel like I was unwelcome would have been nice.
