Im like any other composer. If you give me five years to write a symphony, Im still going to be asking for more time two days before its due.

I've always been the annoying kid who sang.

I'm in a real minority as far as having really supportive parents in regards to the arts. They never batted an eye as far as not letting me do that stuff. That's invaluable. I can't believe how unabashedly supportive they were about everything, between music and acting.

I'd like to be writing songs for other people - I just like writing songs.

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

My name's Darren. I'm a musician, part time idiot. That's a full time job actually.

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