I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.

When I was a kid going into the movies you weren't force-fed information everywhere you looked about what the movie was going to be.

I missed out on everything. Sometimes on the street I see teenagers hanging out and going to the movies going to concerts and I get so jealous.

You see so many earnest characters in movies all the time everyone has a purpose.

My interest in film is sort of catholic - apart from science fiction and horror movies I'll watch almost everything.

I loved old black and white movies especially the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers musicals. I loved everything about them - the songs the music the romance and the spectacle. They were real class and I knew that I wanted to be in that world.

I grew up when I was 15 when I had my first opportunity in movies. I watched every great movie for a year and a half and since then I've asked myself how I can emulate such artistry. That's really my motivation. I want to do something as good as my heroes have done.

I'm glad movies aren't going to please everybody they can't. But what they have to be is recognisable. I don't equate myself with a master painter but I think you can recognise my films.

I don't stop. It's 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.' I'll be Elphaba and he wants to play 'Guy-linda.' I want to do movies make music. 'Glee' is only the beginning.

Movies are open doors and at every door I change character and life.
