Cory Monteith

I see the people in the tabloids, the ones that get bad press, who have kind of gone off the edge, and I try to study them so that I don't do that. It seems like they lost focus at some point - that's...

I don't need to be wildly famous for my life to make sense.

I'm Joe Canada, who never went to high school. I've never even been to a football game.

I'm a big fan of 'Glee.' I think it's really smart. And I think it's well-timed. But you can't not be surprised at the reception this show's received. It's really something else.
