I spend a lot of time on the ‘Glee’ set. A lot of time. Luckily we have to dance and rehearse, so we’re always moving, but having such a tight schedule can make it hard to find the time to exercise. It’s definitely a struggle!

Sometimes I even work out to ‘Glee’ songs to keep me going.

If there’s something in the kitchen I like, it must be eaten. I try not to leave any snacks I wouldn’t want to eat on a daily basis in the cupboard.

I’m a takeout kind of girl. Whole Foods prepares most of my meals.

Watching Bernadette Peters perform is like an acting class. She’s amazing.

I’m always looking for something different to do at the gym.

When I was 17, I worked at a bagel shop – I ate so many! I was also in all the school musicals, which we rehearsed for during the afternoons.

I wasn’t a huge fan of reality shows, because I’m like ‘they’re taking away from the actors,’ but sometimes mindless is just wonderful.

I started when I was in ‘The King and I’ when I was on Broadway when I was nine.

Being in the limelight with ‘Glee,’ I’ve definitely felt pressure to stay fit. But honestly, you have to ignore it.
