I've known since day one of working on Spring Awakening - back in 1999 - that it was special.

When I was on Broadway, my most recent Broadway show was 'Spring Awakening,' and every night I did a topless scene.

Glee has made me feel beautiful.

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.

I need some me-time. I have to remember to rest, because I have a natural energy and I don't want to burn out.

But my main thing that I would love to see as a fan of 'Glee,' like I said, is to really get into the character and who they are and what they do outside of school. I think that that's interesting. And then of course the themed stuff and the album episodes are all really cool too.

I am obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow.
