I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If I like it, I don't feel guilty about it

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

I'm this goofball. I look at myself in the mirror, and the person that I know doesn't match up to what I think people love to perceive me as.

I mean, part of me would love to be a fat tenured professor of theater someday.

Guys I’m kind of nutty, but you have to understand that that’s all just me being myself.

All my aunts in the Phillipines, they look at me and say 'Darreeeeeen! You so thin! Eat!'

Glee is more then just a show now. It's become a wonderful culture celebrating the underdog and glorifying individuality.
