The 26-year-old has starred in films such as 50/50 and in 2009's Up in the Air alongside George Clooney, for which she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
Kendrick plays the role of Jessica, a friend of Bella Swan's in the Twilight series of films.
She said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph: "I know that people have to ask me about Twilight, but it's tricky to be honest about those films and also to be discreet.
"I like sets that feel small. Big sets are difficult; it feels like there's constant miscommunication. I've been lucky so far, but I can see why people don't necessarily have fun on big movies. Smaller films are really rewarding."
Kendrick spoke about her wish to try out different roles throughout her career, and is due to star in the romantic comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting.
She said of the film: "It's going to be a big, shiny movie but I'm consciously trying to do different things. People want you to do the same thing over and over and then complain that you never do anything else.
"Actresses have to redefine themselves at certain ages - you're supposed to be an ingénue in your 20s, Kelly Reilly in your 30s and Laura Linney in your 40s. And I will try my very best to do that."

'Twilight' Studio Wins Legal Challenge Against Retailer Selling Bella Swan Jacket
How a jacket advertised as helping young girls land "the hottest vampire in high school" led to legal trouble for B.B. Dakota.
In 2010, B.B. Dakota was hit with a copyright and trademark infringement claim for promoting a blue cotton canvas jacket by telling young girls that "Bella Swann (sic) wears this jacket in Twilight and scores the hottest vampire in high school, and so can you!"
Bella's jacket quickly became part of fashion lore.
Entertainment Weekly detailed how it got into the film; Women's Wear Daily wrote that it was "the stuff that legends are made of"; MTV pronounced that the jacket "brings you this much closer to Robert Pattinson"; Stylist.com called it "love at first bite, er, sight." And SoJones.com mooned that it was "very vampirelicious."
Only problem was that Summit had never licensed the jacket. A trade dress vampire had bitten the goodwill of its own mark, so Summit demanded destruction of the jacket stock.
B.B. Dakota defended itself several ways. First, the retailer claimed that it had a valid license. B.B. Dakota initially wanted to republish the image used on Entertainment Weekly's website on its own, but was told that it needed permission from Summit. One of BB Dakota's public relations reps then had an e-mail conversation with Amanda Boury, a Summit PR rep, and asked for permission to "highlight the jacket on [the] website along with the image from the movie," Boury responded "Ok."
But B.B. Dakota was alleged to have not used the EW image. Rather, she created "hangtags" affixed to another image of the Bella character. The image came from Summit's promotional posters.
Nevertheless, B.B. Dakota said it still was in the clear because its use was a "nominative fair use," meaning that the retailer was deploying the trademark to describe Summit's product rather than its own. In the past, courts have allowed such "nominative fair use" so long as the product in question is not readily identifiable without use of the mark, that a user only uses so much of the mark as necessary, and that the use of the mark doesn't suggest sponsorship or endorsement.
(Twi-hards, let us introduce thee to what the 9th Circuit has to say about New Kids on the Block merchandise.)
Judge Gary Allen Feess has rejected B.B. Dakota's fair use arguments. He finds that "there is a real question as to whether any use was necessary given the fact that the jacket had been successfully marketed for two to three years before the first Twilight movie was released."
Perhaps even more damaging, the judge rules that the defendant "made far more extensive use of Summit's marks and copyrighted materials than was necessary," including taking the image of Bella and the actual Twilight mark with its particular font.
If B.B. Dakota can take any solace in Judge Feess' decision, it's that Summit hasn't fully prevailed just yet on the issue of damages, or whether its trademark was diluted by the retailer's use.
Strangely, that's only because Summit hasn't been fully convincing on whether its mark is famous and distinctive enough.
Sure, the films have grossed more than $1 billion, but the judge points out that the Twilight marks are used elsewhere and that the studio hasn't presented evidence such as consumer surveys that show the public recognizes Twilight marks as sufficiently famous. The judge rules this is an issue of material fact that could be subject to a trial.
Still, Summit has a strong edge here. The studio has established a likelihood of dilution, based on various other factors, Meaning that Summit at least gets a favorable decision as it continues to diligently police its trademarks on Twilight. It's now up to the studio to decide whether to rest there or go further.
Don't be surprised to see Summit, which has made some $63 million from licensed merchandise, have its own jacket in store. According to the decision, Summit has sold clothing bearing Twilight marks since 2008.
Here's the full decision.

'Pan Am' not canceled, but will it be renewed?
ABC says its new airline drama "Pan Am" is not canceled, despite a seemingly alarming Tweet from cast member Karine Vanasse.
Ratings for the 1960s-themed show, which also stars Christina Ricci, have dropped about 50 percent, from 11 million viewers to 5.6 million, since its September 25 debut. The series is based on a real airline, which went bankrupt in 1991, and airs on Sundays 10 p.m. ET, around the same time as NFL games and the CBS series "CSI: Miami."
"We are not cancelling Pan Am," an ABC spokesperson told OnTheRedCarpet.com on Tuesday, November 29. "We are still in production and will continue to be in production finishing the original 13 episodes plus one more additional one. We have one more original episode this coming week, Dec. 4, and then will return in January with new episodes, airing all of them."
Vanasse, a 27-year-old Canadian actress who plays one of the flight attendants, said on her Twitter page hours earlier: "Well, we received THE call, #PanAm is only coming back for one more episode after Christmas. But up to the end, we'll give it our all!"
She later corrected herself, Tweeting: "Sorry for the confusion #PanAm fans; there are still 5 new episodes to air until February :)"
ABC recently released its 2012 midseason schedule, which shows that "Good Christian Belles," a new series starring Kristin Chenoweth, will air in the Sunday 10 p.m. time slot "Pan Am" currently occupies, starting on March 4.
"Pan Am" is "still in contention" for a second season, but an announcement about its future will not be made until the network's annual upfront announcement, which takes place in May, the ABC spokesperson said.
Ashley Greene, known for playing the vampire Alice Cullen in the hit "Twilight" films, is set to appear on "Pan Am" for at least four episodes, beginning on December 4, ABC said in a statement, following a previous report that said she was hired for three. Her character, Amanda, is described as "a debutante with a past connection to Ted," the First Officer of the show's main airline crew.
