I wouldn't be where I am today without the amazing public arts education that I had.Collection: Amazing

I speak a little Spanish but I am so impressed by people who can speak a lot of different languages.
I grew up as an only child. My parents weren't great conversationalists. We had a quiet house. I'm not very verbal.
You don't want to play a perfect person; no one cares about that.
I think every great show has that kind of romance that people just kind of yearn for.
More people saw the pilot of 'Glee' than saw me in my entire 10-year career on Broadway.
Fame, you know, it's like a handgun - in the wrong hands, it's dangerous.
I'm not gay.
I grew up singing and dancing, so people have been calling me gay since fifth grade. I've heard everything you could possibly hear about it. But I do love gay people, so I'm not going to act like I was insulted or angry about it.
My dad is a nurse midwife, one of about only 50 male midwives in the U.S., I think.
I guess I was one of the popular kids. I played soccer, I was class president - I even dated the homecoming queen.
I don't like to go out to parties or clubbing, and I kind of like my anonymity.
I've had way more rejections than I've had jobs.
On a TV show, you don't know where the character is going.
I want my shows to be very classic and timeless.
I'm a huge Bob Marley fan; I remember going to Jamaica for the first time when I was a kid and I got so obsessed with the steel drums.
I'm a dancer, so I love to dance.
I run probably 35-40 miles a week, and I think 80 per cent of your body is what you eat. The biggest part is just eating well.
I want to be Gwyneth Paltrow when I grow up! She's been able to have such a great career, such a great family and she stays so humble and so real.
I'd like someone who challenges me, someone who is more beautiful in the inside than they are on the outside.
I'm happy being single but I definitely want someone in my life. I want to eventually get married and have kids.
I actually grew up break-dancing. When you break-dance you listen to hip-hop and rap, so I've been listening to that music since I was a kid.
In all the shows I've done, I'm always the first to leave - it's in my make-up.
I'm a mellow guy, and I feel like my music is mellow.
It's pretty amazing being me.
Most of the songs I wrote are personal.
I don't think anyone can get away from high school unscathed.
I'm an awful golfer.
I'm a great bowler. I was in a couple of leagues as a kid.
My friends hate me because I do pick up things really quickly.
The paparazzi is kind of crazy here in L.A., but it's nothing like it is in London. They are animals over there, it's insane.
Everyone thinks I'm a nice guy, which is not a bad way to be perceived.
My favourite place in the world to run is Stanley Park in Vancouver. One loop around there is perfect.
I don't think anyone wants to be in a role forever.
I've had people following me home or standing outside my house. It's strange. I just don't think people were meant to be worshipped or idolised.
There are so many stage actors on TV but you wouldn't know they were stage actors. And film and TV actors are going to the stage as well, so the crossover is great now.
I don't get as much female attention as you'd think, because I never go out.
I know what it takes to be a good boyfriend. Time, first and foremost. To be there for someone and be involved in their life.
Running has been almost my savior.
Music has the ability to comfort people.
In high school, I had two friends that were suffering from cancer. I would go and sing for them while they were in hospital, and I sang at their services after they passed.
I like pushing myself, and usually if I'm not good at something I just won't do it because I'm a perfectionist.
I love candlelit dinners.
I love London and British women.
This is the theater. And this is the best place for the imagination.Collection: Imagination

I'm such a dude. I'm just like, 'All right, I have to get up in my monkey suit.' I'd rather be in jeans.Collection: Jeans
I’m not comfortable with the idea of my sex appeal, but I know in my job I have to use it. I wish I could say I got to this point in my career based on my talent, but I don’t think that’s true.Collection: Jobs
