I think that as an artist, the more that you can do to diversify, and kind of challenge yourself, the more you grow.

Without love we are not truly living.

With every job I've gotten, I've bought myself something. When 'Glee' was picked up, I rented a piano for the year. For smaller victories, I'll go to dinner with a friend, or go for a walk and think about it all. It's important to say to yourself, Today was a good day.

Dancing is why I love music as much as I do and vice-versa, and there aren’t many things better than those two combined.

I used to wear more makeup, but I've learned to enjoy being natural.

When you work really hard, and it's organic and together, you can have more fun.

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.
