I love being outdoors - hiking, biking, and swimming.
— Lea Michele
I've always been such a fan of Habitat for Humanity and the work that they do.
I knew what I wanted to be at 8 years old - an actor!
How many managers told me, 'Get a nose job. You're not pretty enough?' But I proved them wrong.
Film is an itch I have yet to scratch.
I consider myself lucky to be an only child because if I had other siblings, my mother would not have been able to take me to every audition and be so supportive of my career.
I was a vegan for two years, and I really enjoyed it. Then, I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else, so now I'm a vegetarian. You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise, drink lots of water, and take really good care of yourself.
I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Don't try to change yourself for others. Focus on school and your future. Boys and friends will come and go, just focus on you and your future.
When I wasn't working on Broadway, I worked in a Bat Mitzvah dress shop and was the Cinderella of the shop - always cleaning and vacuuming!
I'm five foot three. I don't look like a lot of other people, you know what I mean? I look like I'm 12.
When it comes to 'Glee,' I feel like I've been in a relationship, and now I can mingle a bit.
One of my favorite things about 'Spring Awakening' is that it is enjoyable and important for both kids and adults to see.
Growing up in New York has influenced my style so much, and I have an amazing relationship with my stylist, Estee Stanley. We have so much fun with the whole process. She picks out dresses, I try things on and play dress up, and we get creative to see what works.
I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy.
I am obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow.
I don't stop. It's my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do 'Evita.' I want to do 'Sweeney Todd' with Chris Colfer. We want to do 'Wicked.' I'll be Elphaba and he wants to play 'Guy-linda.' I want to do movies, make music. 'Glee' is only the beginning.
I am a very outspoken person, and if something makes me uncomfortable, you will know that it makes me uncomfortable, but that's as far as it goes.
