Dancing Is Why I Love

With Every Job I've Gotten, I've Bought Myself Something. When 'glee' Was Picked Up, I Rented A Piano For The Year. For Smaller Victories, I'll Go To Dinner With A Friend, Or Go For A Walk And Think About It All. It's Important To Say To Yourself, Today Was A Good Day.

I Sold My First Screenplay Six Months Before 'glee,' But They Had The Option For A Year And Now It's Back With Me.

There Was This Project I Really Wanted Before 'glee' And I Didn't Get Cast - I Went In About 13 Times And I Was So Bummed When I Didn't Get It. But Then A Month Later I Got Cast On 'glee,' And I Felt Like It Was Meant To Happen.

I Never Solicited Myself As A Singer Until I Realized I Could Use That To A Musical Standpoint. I Loved Musicals Growing Up. Classic Films Were Some Of The Only Ones I Watched. So When The Opportunity Came For The Show To Audition, Of Course It Was All Of A Sudden, "i Sing! I Sing! Send Me In, Please. I Beg Of You."

I Didn't Take The Typical Path And Go To College After High School. Instead, I Saved Up Money From Teaching Dance Classes And Moved To L.a. But My Family Was So Supportive - I Never Felt Pressure From Them. It's Crucial To Find A Support System, Even If It's Not Your Family.
