Lea Michele Covers Marie Claire UK
On her road to stardom Lea says:
I was told by agents and casting directors I wasn't right for TV. I didn't feel that but I was told it and you believe it. I was always working on Broadway and auditioning for TV - things like Law & Order - but there was never anything.
Glee is a show that celebrates a passion for music and being confident with who you truly are, even if you are not on the cheerleading squad. Lea, like many women, didn't feel she had confidence, but now says Glee gave that back to her.
Glee has made me feel beautiful. Now when people say that, I don't feel like they're lying.
The minute I read it, I wanted to play Rachel because I felt like I understood her and that she was part of me. What I love about our show is that it opens your eyes to a lot of things without being preachy.
Lea also shares that she has NINE tattoos that all are significant to her career -- but you won't see any!
They're all tiny. I mean you saw me in the shoot today, I was practically nude. Did you see any? No. I'm telling you, I have nine. All so, so, so little.
