experience high home hope remember school sixth totally watch
I remember I'd come home from fifth, sixth grade, and I'd watch 'Saved by the Bell' and be like, 'I hope my high school experience is like that.' And it totally wasn't. It sucked.
adult exciting explore majority roles seen tv vast viewers
It's always exciting to explore adult roles when the vast majority of viewers that have seen me on TV know me from 'Glee,' from something of a different tone.
bit car driven school whatever worked
I've worked as a labourer, driven taxis and school buses, and been a car mechanic - whatever I could do just to get by. But it does mean that I know a little bit about a lot of things.
records want albums
I have a solo deal with Columbia Records. So it's about, do I want to release an album, when can we do it, what kind of album should it be, how should it be released and marketed and what's the right timing? Do I have time to do it? It's all about questions.
careers lines hanging-out
I'm pretty focused on my career, and if it comes down to hanging out with somebody or learning my lines, it's gonna be learning my lines.
glasses ice fire
I took out a whole fireplace and put in broken glass and installed a burner underneath, so it looks like fire on ice. I did that in my bedroom suite. I'm pretty handy
support canada used
I used to do tech support for MSN in Canada.
people half tweet
I probably tweet every other day, which I know isn't half as much as some people.
speaks-french speak
I'm Canadian, but no, I don't speak French.
cities hollywood roommate
I keep a pretty low profile. I live in Culver City with some roommates. I don't do the whole 'Hollywood' thing.
nonfiction fans novel
I don't read that many novels, I'm more of a nonfiction fan.
glee auditions managers
But when the 'Glee' audition came around, my manager literally had to talk me into it. I was petrified to sing in front of anyone.
phones trying attention
It's really annoying when you're trying to get to know someone and she doesn't pay attention to you because she's obsessed with her phone.
running jobs blood
I was dirt-poor. I could barely hold down a job. Eventually, though, I started getting small parts on shows like 'Smallville,' 'Supernatural'... and lots of really bad sci-fi movies. I was running around the woods in wolf contacts, covered in fake blood made out of pancake syrup, roaring.
