I started when I was in 'The King and I' when I was on Broadway when I was nine.
Being in the limelight with Glee, I've definitely felt pressure to stay fit. But honestly, you have to ignore it.
I was five or six when I joined SAG, and Equity I joined when I was nine.
I wasn't a huge fan of reality shows, because I'm like 'they're taking away from the actors,' but sometimes mindless is just wonderful.
If there's something in the kitchen I like, it must be eaten. I try not to leave any snacks I wouldn't want to eat on a daily basis in the cupboard.
I spend a lot of time on the 'Glee' set. A lot of time. Luckily we have to dance and rehearse, so we're always moving, but having such a tight schedule can make it hard to find the time to exercise. It's definitely a struggle!
I went to performing arts high school, and I took dance and acting every day. Then, I went to Marymount Manhattan College and I have a B.A. in acting, with a concentration in theater performance and a minor in musical theater. I studied there for three years.
Watching Bernadette Peters perform is like an acting class. She's amazing.
I always leave a box of unsalted almonds in my house. A handful of those are a good snack that should keep you satisfied.
I can sleep anywhere. I can fall asleep standing up, literally anywhere.
At one point, I even thought, "Oh, I'll take diet pills." I tried it for one day, and I thought my heart was going to explode. It's awful, and I would never, ever recommend it.
