New York is who I am.

The only crush I have is on Chris Colfer. I’m madly in love with him… I just, like, I doodle in my prop notebooks, ‘I heart Chris Colfer’ over and over and over again.

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.

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.

I love being outdoors - hiking, biking, and swimming.

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

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.
