Honestly, I never thought I'd actually be playing a teen lesbian. I didn't think it was going to go this far. But I'm glad that it did, because there have been a lot of fans who have expressed that they've been going through similar situations in their lives.

The day that I got the phone call to tell me that I booked ‘Glee’ I was shooting ‘CSI Miami.’ I was playing this heroin addict…I’d been on a million auditions where I sang and looked exactly the same way and didn’t do anything different. And so for this to be the one that popped it was just like what happened? It was the perfect timing and the perfect role for me. It was like everything came together.

I will admit to hoarding beauty products. I'm a beauty lady.

We've all been hurt by words before. So before you speak, think about how your words might affect someone else.

Me and my cheeseburgers are insane.

Be kind to people, do the best that you can do and don’t compromise yourself for anyone else and you’ll end up being the best person, trust me.

It's kind of cool—and it makes me feel like a badass. I get more girls than my boyfriend. They always tweet me about my booty.
