Uniqueness is what makes you the most beautiful.

I remember watching Barbra Streisand and seeing Jennifer Grey in 'Dirty Dancing' - these were people who acted like me and looked like me. Now it's great that everyone on 'Glee' is so unique and people can relate to us and look up to us.

When it comes to 'Glee,' I feel like I've been in a relationship, and now I can mingle a bit.

I've always been proud of my body, my Jewish nose and all of that. Hollywood's Hollywood, but that's not going to change.

I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.

I was one of the only girls in my high school that didn't get [a nose job]. And if anybody needed it, I probably did... I'm proud to be on a positive show and to be a voice for girls and say, 'You don't need to look like everybody else. Love who you are.'

Grief is a very scary thing, and there comes a point where it can really take you down.
