Quotes by Lea Michele

Uniqueness is what makes you the most beautiful.

We live in a world of self-deprecation, and while it’s healthy to make fun of ourselves from time to time, it bothers me when I see women of all ages belittling their accomplishments because they don’t want to appear boastful or overconfident. You don’t see a lot of guys out there underplaying their strengths or making light of what they’re good at, so why should women? While I get that there’s a fine line between owning your accomplishments and reciting every line of your résumé, there is absolutely no shame in being proud of what you’ve managed to achieve! Own it!

By showing that you dont have to lose yourself, maybe someone else will feel some sort of comfort.

Im simple. I love hiking, going to the gym, doing some simple stuff. I love being outdoors, I love bike riding. Just stuff thats fun!

I was in choir in school. I kind of just did it. I already knew I wanted to sing. My music program in my school wasnt really great - people didnt really want to be part of the choir, they didnt want to do the plays and stuff like that. It definitely wasnt the cool thing to do.

Every now and then, I have blissful moments of thanking God for all the amazing things that are happening. When I leave the White House after just meeting Obama or when I see my face on the cover of Rolling Stone or when I meet someone who tells me that their daughter is inspired by me, those are moments that are incredibly joyful.

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 Im 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 dont stop. Its 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. Ill be Elphaba and he wants to play Guy-linda. I want to do movies, make music. Glee is only the beginning.

When it comes to Glee, I feel like Ive been in a relationship, and now I can mingle a bit.

I would tell 17-year-olds to be proud of who you are. Dont 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.

I just moved into a new house, so I love spending time at home. Everything for me is all about self-care because I really feel that if Im at my best, than Im able to come to my job and really be feeling the best, so if Im not working out or going on a hike, than Im at home recharging and cooking dinner and hanging out with my cat.

My idea of heaven used to be relaxing at home with a cheese plate and champagne.
