When I was 17, I worked at a bagel shop - I ate so many! I was also in all the school musicals, which we rehearsed for during the afternoons.

I love that feeling of just finishing a workout and knowing I'm taking care of my body. It is such a good feeling.

If you say, 'You've made it,' then you kind of come to a standstill, and I don't think any actor wants to do that.

I spend a lot of time on the 'Glee' set. A lot of time. Luckily we have to dance and rehearse, so we're always moving, but having such a tight schedule can make it hard to find the time to exercise. It's definitely a struggle!

I speak about family and adoption because it 100% changed my life and who I am. It definitely played a very large role into just learning how to be grateful for what you have and being fulfilled in a way that a lot of adopted kids don't feel.

I make playlists on my iPod like nobody's business!

Being in the limelight with Glee, I've definitely felt pressure to stay fit. But honestly, you have to ignore it.
