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.

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

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've probably tried every fad diet in the world.

I wasn't a huge fan of reality shows, because I'm like 'they're taking away from the actors,' but sometimes mindless is just wonderful.

I'm a takeout kind of girl. Whole Foods prepares most of my meals.

Sometimes I even work out to 'Glee' songs to keep me going.
