I can't believe it's been four years now and from watching that pilot we really all looked like babies. It's unbelievable just how far everything has come. I'm happier now than I've ever been on the show and in my life. I really owe so much of my happiness to 'Glee.'

It is work work that one delights in that is the surest guarantor of happiness. But even here it is a work that has to be earned by labor in one's earlier years. One should labor so hard in youth that everything one does subsequently is easy by comparison.

Existence is a strange bargain. Life owes us little we owe it everything. The only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose.

A sure way to lose happiness I found is to want it at the expense of everything else.

Everything has its wonders even darkness and silence and I learn whatever state I may be in therein to be content.

I remember a great America where we made everything. There was a time when the only thing you got from Japan was a really bad cheap transistor radio that some aunt gave you for Christmas.

I wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.

When I was 20 I thought I was 30 - but I was so far from it. When you're young you want everything to happen now. As you mature you can look back and see all the great things you achieved with time and patience.

Almost everything that is great has been done by youth.

It is part of a good man to do great and noble deeds though he risk everything.
