Personal Quotes
What a world we live in. I want to be incredibly close to the
heart of it all. To live honestly, truthfully and to be completely
present is the ultimate enterprise. And right now, I couldn't possibly
ask for anything more. I am a very lucky girl.
Having a dance background, I became used to rejection at an early
age. Dance is very competitive, especially for a sensitive person like
me. But I realized it's better not to take it so seriously. If you beat
yourself up, it's hard to keep going.
I definitely wasn't cool in high school. I really wasn't. I did
belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did
the musical theater route, so I had friends in all areas. But I
certainly did not know what to wear, did not know how to do my hair, all
those things.
I think that as an artist, the more that you can do to diversify, and kind of challenge yourself, the more you grow.
When we first started doing Glee, journalists would ask me who my dream guest star was. I would say Christopher Walken, and you could see their faces fall: "Just say Justin Timberlake!"
