I mean, part of me would love to be a fat tenured professor of theater someday.
I never let my politics supersede my manners.
I play mostly guitar, and I played drums in my brother's band for a while growing up.
I wish I was old Hollywood.
No matter what, I will always prefer a live performance. Whether it be a play or a musical, or playing music live. As long as it's live, it's the best because there's sort of an immediacy to connection between an audience and a performer, whereas where you do film or television, you're at the whim of so many different forces.
I've always been the annoying kid who sang.
I’m super annoying, I’m the kind of guy that if there’s no recycling bins around I hoard plastic bottles, put them in my bag and I bring them home. If I can afford it I want to put solar panels in.
I'm always just waiting for someone to cut me off; I'm a chatty guy.
Challenge is good for any relationship.
I know. I'm Darren. I don't know what I'm doing here.
I think people love to attach themselves to the idea of an overnight success. That may be true about me.
I was consumed by my love for Chris Colfer, and I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
It’s been a secret too long, but I’m actually a straight male.
After gaining the incredible platform from 'Glee,' it wasn't so much of a decision to get involved as it was an opportunity to take part. I'll be honest, I'm not so much into the idea of one cause being more important than another; however, I felt that the Trevor Project was a perfect fit for my efforts. It stands for a lot of things that I believe in, as well as falls in line with much of what 'Glee' stands for.
