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.
care helping cry
I stole a significant amount of money from a family member. I knew I was going to get caught, but I was so desperate I didn't care. It was a cry for help
football school games
I'm Joe Canada, who never went to high school. I've never even been to a football game.
smart thinking fans
I'm a big fan of 'Glee.' I think it's really smart. And I think it's well-timed. But you can't not be surprised at the reception this show's received. It's really something else.
games play video
I play a lot of ultra-violent video games.
school lunch musical
How do I put this? 'Glee' is like 'High School Musical' if 'High School Musical' had its stomach punched and its lunch money stolen.
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.
glee kind shows
Maybe it'll be like 'The Simpsons,' and everybody will remain unchanged. Maybe that's what 'Glee''s about. Maybe this is kind of a stasis show. I don't know.
taught foxes
Fox taught me how to sing and dance
rome airports boards
I recently had a few days off while shooting a movie in Budapest, so I took a cab from the set to the airport, looked at the departure board, and decided where I wanted to go right then and there. I spent four days in Rome and didn't tell anyone I was going.
needs kind good-things
I don't need to be wildly famous for my life to make sense. I guess I'm kind of happy where I'm at, and I take whatever comes, and it's a good thing.
