On Glee

“When I found out I was nominated for a Golden Globe in the category that I was nominated in, I was in complete shock. As a matter of fact, I’m still in shock! It is such an honor, something I never thought I would be lucky enough to have happen to me in my life. I feel so truly blessed and thankful.”

“I Was Very Much Like Rachel When I Was in High School.”

“The fact that I’m 23-years-old, I come from musical theater and I’m from the Bronx — I’m just a girl who was lucky enough to land this job and that they wrote such an incredible character. I feel like Cinderella right now, I really do.”

“If anyone tells me I can’t eat, then I’m going to tell them to you-know-what themselves.“

“The decision was so painful, and the only person who will know about it, truly, how hard it was, is Jonathan Gtroff, because he literally held my hand through the entire thing and there were numerous nights of walking home, just with me in tears, walking home from the Atlantic. We would walk from 20th Street all the way to 50th and just talk about it” (About choosing to stay on with Spring Awakening rather than taking the role of Eponine in the Les Miserables)

“I’m such a fan of Idina Menzel! I think she’s made a wonderful career in this business. I love her so much, and any role she’s played, I’d love to be able to follow in her footsteps.”

“I remember looking up to Barbra Streisand, and thinking, ‘Finally, someone who has a Jewish nose, who didn’t get a nose job,’. I love me and my body and my Jewish nose. If that is inspiring and can give young girls a sense of confidence, that’s great.”

“‘Funny Girl” is my most favorite movie of all time. Barbra Streisand is my idol. She is one of the greatest performers in the entire world.”Tweet
