On moving forward after the death of Cory Monteith: “Getting to the other side takes a lot of work. All you can do is get to the other side. It’s a struggle. When you do, there is happiness there.  It’s important to me to keep private some of that process with how I got here. But I am here, I am good, and I am very grateful for that.”

On being famous: “Everybody thinks you’re a star with roses being dropped at your feet. You have to take some fucking punches.  Now I have my groove…I am much more aware. I also don’t care as much. I am very content with me.”​
