Life Isn't Always Smooth Sailing And Sometimes

I Didn't Take The Typical Path And Go To College After High School. Instead, I Saved Up Money From Teaching Dance Classes And Moved To L.a. But My Family Was So Supportive - I Never Felt Pressure From Them. It's Crucial To Find A Support System, Even If It's Not Your Family.

I Sold My First Screenplay Six Months Before 'glee,' But They Had The Option For A Year And Now It's Back With Me.

Sometimes, You Can Incorporate Things That You've Experienced In Your Life And Use That. And, Other Times, You Just Know What That Feeling Of Hurt, Love, Anger And Depression Is, And You Do Whatever It Takes To Get There In Your Mind, And Use It To Your Advantage, Whichever Way It Works Best.

I Never Solicited Myself As A Singer Until I Realized I Could Use That To A Musical Standpoint. I Loved Musicals Growing Up. Classic Films Were Some Of The Only Ones I Watched. So When The Opportunity Came For The Show To Audition, Of Course It Was All Of A Sudden, "i Sing! I Sing! Send Me In, Please. I Beg Of You."

I Believe That If You Are Bringing A Child Into The World, You Should Be Willing To Accept Them In Any Reality. Whether They Are Black, White, Asian, Have Four Fingers, Are Disabled, Gay….that The Only Wish Should Be For A Happy And Healthy Baby.
