I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy.

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

It's so important, so comforting, to have lampposts in this world who can light the way.

Trust me, sunscreen is so, so, so important and so I always wear sunscreen, but I still get really tan.

Every now and then, I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of 'Rolling Stone' or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me, those are moments that are incredibly joyful.

But people are going to say what they want to say. I know who I am, and I'm not perfect.
