When I play live in restaurants and cafes, I don't play my own stuff. I play jazz and 'American Songbook' standards, and I'll fuse it with top 40.
I'm like any other composer. If you give me five years to write a symphony, I'm still going to be asking for more time two days before it's due.
I always make time for the things that are important to me.
When I'm in the U.K. I find myself using a lot of Britishisms.
My biggest fear? My biggest fear would be turning into an inanimate object.
There's nothing more badass than being who you are.
Glee is more then just a show now. It's become a wonderful culture celebrating the underdog and glorifying individuality.
Be nice people, cause nobody likes an asshole.
Hope for everything, expect nothing.
I have an unabashed adoration of cheesy pop music.
I was consumed by my love for Chris Colfer, and I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
Yeah, there has been alot of changes in my life since I started glee...I bought a new sweater...
Please don't kill me, I'm nice.
I know. I'm Darren. I don't know what I'm doing here.
