Challenge Is Good For Any Relationship.

No Matter What, I Will Always Prefer A Live Performance. Whether It Be A Play Or A Musical, Or Playing Music Live. As Long As It's Live, It's The Best Because There's Sort Of An Immediacy To Connection Between An Audience And A Performer, Whereas Where You Do Film Or Television, You're At The Whim Of So Many Different Forces.

We Are A Categorically Obsessed Culture, Where We Have To Compartmentalize Everything In Reference To Another Thing, Like, 'what Does It Sound Like? Does It Sound Like This?

My Name's Darren. I'm A Musician, Part Time Idiot. That's A Full Time Job Actually.

I'm In A Real Minority As Far As Having Really Supportive Parents In Regards To The Arts. They Never Batted An Eye As Far As Not Letting Me Do That Stuff. That's Invaluable. I Can't Believe How Unabashedly Supportive They Were About Everything, Between Music And Acting.

My Biggest Fear? My Biggest Fear Would Be Turning Into An Inanimate Object.

Inanimate Objects

Glee Is More Then Just A Show Now. It's Become A Wonderful Culture Celebrating The Underdog And Glorifying Individuality.

I Never Thought I Would Meet Mariah Carey, But I Really Never Thought I'd Be Introduced To Her By Whitney Houston. She's Like, "hey, Baby, This Is Mariah." I'm Like, "i Know. I'm Darren. I Don't Know What I'm Doing Here."

I Don't Believe In Guilty Pleasures. If I Like It, I Don't Feel Guilty About It

Broadway Is Not Just The Song And The Shows; It's The Individual Performers And The Community.

After Gaining The Incredible Platform From 'glee,' It Wasn't So Much Of A Decision To Get Involved As It Was An Opportunity To Take Part. I'll Be Honest, I'm Not So Much Into The Idea Of One Cause Being More Important Than Another; However, I Felt That The Trevor Project Was A Perfect Fit For My Efforts. It Stands For A Lot Of Things That I Believe In, As Well As Falls In Line With Much Of What 'glee' Stands For.

Chris And I Like To Play. He Always Throws Me Things And I Ping Them Back To Him And It's Really Fun. We Definitely Have A Very Lovely Rapport Personally - I Think On Screen Too - And I Hope You Can See That In The Characters.

When I Was In College, I Was In The Theater Department, Which For Anyone Who Has Been Involved In Any Kind Of Theater Program, You Know That It's Really Wacky And Tight-knit, A Real Family. Me And My Good Friends From College Would Do Random Shows And Plays That Were Sometimes Serious, But Most Of The Time Really Goofy And Funny.

It’s Been A Secret Too Long, But I’m Actually A Straight Male.

Please Don't Kill Me, I'm Nice.
