people half tweet
I probably tweet every other day, which I know isn't half as much as some people.
people focus trying
I see the people in the tabloids, the ones that get bad press, who have kind of gone off the edge, and I try to study them so that I don't do that. It seems like they lost focus at some point - that's the one thing they all have in common.
fighting self people
I didn't have any definition of self. I never fit in, so I started pretending I was other people. I'd find people I thought were cool and dress how they dressed, talk how they talked, do whatever they were into. This led to a period of drugs and anchohol. When his family gave him an ultimatum to get clean or they'd report him to the police Corey said, "I was done fighting myself. I finally said, "I'm gonna start looking at my life and figure out why I'm doing this.
fun people world
If people are taking pictures of me at Starbucks, it's not the end of the world. It's cool, it's fun, it's exciting.
cat people house
I'm a cat whisperer. When I go to people's houses, their cats always like me better than the owners.
giving-up real people
But for those people who might give up: Get real about what you want and go after it.
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.
speaks-french speak
I'm Canadian, but no, I don't speak French.
