I never thought I would meet Mariah Carey, but I really never thought I'd be introduced to her by Whitney Houston. She's like, "Hey, baby, this is Mariah." I'm like, "I know. I'm Darren. I don't know what I'm doing here."

The power of a smile goes a long way. My mom taught me that.

I just hope I can continue to do work that matters to me, I’m not interested in being any kind of superstar or anything I’m not. I’m just a dude who got lucky and an artist who cares about the work that I do.

I want people to know that there is nothing more badass than being yourself.

I don't take breaks, man, I'm always doing something.

As a musician, I hear the harmonic value of everything - I just enjoy music.

Yeah, there has been alot of changes in my life since I started glee...I bought a new sweater.
