Well I've also kind of noticed that, whatever energy that you put out, is kind of the energy that you receive. And so people are just really lovely and kind and soft spoken with me.

I sold my first screenplay six months before 'Glee,' but they had the option for a year and now it's back with me.

I definitely wasn’t cool in high school. I really wasn’t. I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route, so I had friends in all areas, but I certainly did not know what to wear, did not know how to do my hair, all those things.

Once a month, try something you don’t think you’d be good at. You can find such happy surprises.

Every day is an opportunity to fall or hurt yourself.

I've been lucky to travel through quite a bit of Europe and Australia, but I would love to do Asia and South America and South Africa.

My back-up plan is always to take a trip. That's never a bad option. That's always a good option.
