Happy birthday Anna Kendrick! The best Twitter quips and quotes from the Pitch Perfect star

Pitch Perfect star Anna Kendrick celebrates the milestone of turning 30 today (9 August). But let's face it, we all know that a much more significant achievement in her life came much earlier when she single-handedly became the undisputed Queen of Twitter.
Constantly making us laugh with her running commentary on everyday life, from her candid confession about what she really gets up to in the cinema when she's watching a Ryan Gosling movie to proclaiming that, deep down, she knows she'd be a Hufflepuff, we love it every time the Oscar-nominated actress sends out a tweet. So, to commemorate the special day, IBTimesUK has compiled all of her best comments on her social media account, words any 30-year-old would be proud of writing.
Sarcastic Kendrick is probably the best kind of Kendrick. Like when she joked "If Natalie Portman asked me to kill someone I'd probably do it," and when she compared herself to Kanye West when it came to humility.
I just fixed the lock on my front door myself. I'm gonna be riding this high for WEEKS.

I'm so humble it's crazy. I'm like the Kanye West of humility.

Sarcasm never comes across in print. Which I love.

But her fangirl side is pretty great as well. It's always fun to know that an actress you admire shares your geek-fuelled love for Harry Potter, Star Wars and Game Of Thrones too...

Sometimes I legitimately get bummed that I'm not in any of the Step Up movies.

We know now from her Twitter that you should never get on the wrong side of 'foodie Kendrick' and while she might still be funny ("I had a dream that adult Happy Meals were a thing... and then I woke up... starving. Well played, dream advertising company.", she doesn't mess about...
I dated a guy who slammed my PB&J shut when he got frustrated w my need for peanut butter to be perfectly distributed. We did not last long.

Observational Kendrick is undeniably hilarious. Like the time she made all of her followers question their intelligence (and sense of humour) by tweeting: "My favourite thing about Twitter is reading the reactions of the 60% of people who can't tell I'm kidding."
When I can feel the bass from another car I feel like I'm in Jurassic Park. I like to imagine a huge douchebag driving with tiny T-Rex arms.

People who care about celebrity babies are creepy. "What will her baby look like?!" A baby. You've seen a baby right? It'll look like that.

That thing where you haven't shaved your legs in a bit so you decide to wait and get a wax but then you don't do that either.

So over this "thigh gap" thing. Not to brag, but I'm knock knee'd so I have "ankle gap" #Meoooow

Girls wearing dresses on bikes, no one is taking your picture, put some pants on. (And I know you don't eat carbs. That baguette is a LIE)

But personal Kendrick tweets have got to take the crown, as she not only reveals a little bit more about herself each time she makes a post, but you can always count on her to do so with a confession, hidden inside a witty remark. Anyone remember the time she tweeted Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson saying that she'd love to work with himself and aims to call herself "The Pebble" if they ever do so?
I'm the police dog of finding stuff to complain about.

Why is fancy clothing always way too long? Do women get taller as they get richer? Cause if so, mama's gotta make that paper. #ShortyMcgee

The likelihood of me crying for no reason increases a solid 300% on a plane. Fact.

Sometimes the only reason I leave my house is so when someone asks about my day I don’t have to say “Netflix and avoiding responsibilities"

It still blows my mind that I'm at an age where if I got pregnant people would be happy for me. #Yikes #Babies

"I can do that. Hold my beer" - My last words, probably.
