New York Is Who I Am.

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.

I Don't Think I've Gone A Day In My Life Without Being Inspired By Celine Dion. If You Would've Seen Me At Her Concert In Las Vegas - Like, I'm Surprised I Didn't Get Kicked Out. I Was Literally Sitting At The Edge Of My Seat Like The Happiest Girl In The Entire Universe.

Film Is An Itch I Have Yet To Scratch.

I've Always Been Inspired By Female Performers And Artists Who Really Surround Who They Are Around Their Voice. For Me, It's Always Been About The Voice. I Wanna Hear Someone Just Sit By A Piano, On A Stool, And Just Sing - And That's It!

I've Never Wanted To Be Anything Other Than An Actor. I Started Performing On Broadway When I Was 8 Years Old. My First Night On Stage, I Told My Mom, "this Is What I Want To Do. I Was Always A Very Out-there Kid. The Sad Thing About Acting Business Is It's So Fleeting. If I Couldn't Do That, I Was Going To Go To School And Study Law And Become A Lawyer. But I Probably Would Have Been Miserable, Or They Would Have Had Some Very Theatrical Court Sessions.
