I'm honored to be in a position to have young girls or performers look up to me.

I don’t look like a lot of other people, you know what I mean? I look like I’m 12.

I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Don't try to change yourself for others. Focus on school and your future. Boys and friends will come and go, just focus on you and your future.

I don't stop. It's my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do 'Evita.' I want to do 'Sweeney Todd' with Chris Colfer. We want to do 'Wicked.' I'll be Elphaba and he wants to play 'Guy-linda.' I want to do movies, make music. 'Glee' is only the beginning.

One of my favorite things about 'Spring Awakening' is that it is enjoyable and important for both kids and adults to see.

I love my onscreen frenemy, Dianna Agron! Having the opportunity to work so closely with her has been amazing.

My mother's side is Italian; my father's side is Jewish. We're the kind of family where every Sunday night we have dinner with all 19 of my cousins.
