All my aunts in the Phillipines, they look at me and say 'Darreeeeeen! You so thin! Eat!'
Please don't kill me, I'm nice.
Yeah, there has been alot of changes in my life since I started glee...I bought a new sweater...
I like orange and blue together, but I would never wear them.
I'm on cloud nine.. i wouldn't even say cloud nine... more like cloud ten... cloud nine was old news.
For me, I think everybody with half a heart tries to do their best to do their part of good during the holiday season.
I don't shave when I'm not working.
I have an unabashed adoration of cheesy pop music.
Fashion is about owning whatever you're wearing, regardless of if it's a high fashion statement or not.
I remember seeing Aladdin when I was five or six and loving it. I looked at the big screen and said to my mum, Whatever this Genie guy does, I want to do.

Its always important to recognize your situation and not take it for granted.
I'm very specific and ambitious in plotting out my goals and never take no for an answer - so it's not like things just fall in my lap.
I've been lucky enough to work with the amazing Golden Globe Award winning Chris Colfer and that is fantastic. I get to work with him on a day-to-day basis and he is such a generous talent. Chris and I like to play. He always throws me things and I ping them back to him and it's really fun. We definitely have a very lovely rapport personally - I think on screen too - and I hope you can see that in the characters.
I never thought I would meet Mariah Carey, but I really never thought I'd be introduced to her by Whitney Houston. She's like, 'Hey, baby, this is Mariah.' I'm like, 'I know. I'm Darren. I don't know what I'm doing here.'
