Life Is Too Short To Be Serious

I Was 20 Years Old, Working As A Roofer And A Telemarketer And Driving A Taxi, Just Barely Getting By. A Friend Of A Friend Suggested I Try Acting. I Was Like, 'why? What Am I Going To Do? Community Theater?' But I Took A Class, And The Teacher Thought That I Had Potential, So I Moved To Vancouver And Started Auditioning.

When The Music Hits, You Feel No Pain, To Quote Bob Marley. But It’s True. It’s Like All Art And Creation: You’re Completely In The Moment, And You Just Feel Free.

I Keep A Pretty Low Profile. I Live In Culver City With Some Roommates. I Don't Do The Whole 'hollywood' Thing.

But When The 'glee' Audition Came Around, My Manager Literally Had To Talk Me Into It. I Was Petrified To Sing In Front Of Anyone.

How Do I Put This? 'glee' Is Like 'high School Musical' If 'high School Musical' Had Its Stomach Punched And Its Lunch Money Stolen.
