I Love Being Outdoors - Hiking, Biking,

I Remember Watching Barbra Streisand And Seeing Jennifer Grey In 'dirty Dancing' - These Were People Who Acted Like Me And Looked Like Me. Now It's Great That Everyone On 'glee' Is So Unique And People Can Relate To Us And Look Up To Us.

Every Now And Then, I Have Blissful Moments Of Thanking God For All The Amazing Things That Are Happening. When I Leave The White House After Just Meeting Obama Or When I See My Face On The Cover Of 'rolling Stone' Or When I Meet Someone Who Tells Me That Their Daughter Is Inspired By Me, Those Are Moments That Are Incredibly Joyful.

I'm Italian And Spanish And Jewish. I'm 100 Different Things Meshed Into One. I Think That Shows Girls That Uniqueness Is Beautiful. They Can Look At Me On A Magazine Cover And See Me In A Movie And Say That They Have Someone They Can Relate To.

I'm A Vegan. It Makes Me Feel Really Good And Bright.

It's So Important, So Comforting, To Have Lampposts In This World Who Can Light The Way.
