I'm a cat whisperer. When I go to people's houses, their cats always like me better than the owners.

I was 20 years old, working as a roofer and a telemarketer and driving a taxi, just barely getting by. A friend of a friend suggested I try acting. I was like, 'Why? What am I going to do? Community theater?' But I took a class, and the teacher thought that I had potential, so I moved to Vancouver and started auditioning.

It's always exciting to explore adult roles when the vast majority of viewers that have seen me on TV know me from 'Glee,' from something of a different tone.
Cory Monteith -
I was dirt-poor. I could barely hold down a job. Eventually, though, I started getting small parts on shows like 'Smallville,' 'Supernatural'... and lots of really bad sci-fi movies. I was running around the woods in wolf contacts, covered in fake blood made out of pancake syrup, roaring.
Cory Monteith -
I play a lot of ultra-violent video games.
Cory Monteith -
I like Lady Gaga!

If people are taking pictures of me at Starbucks, it's not the end of the world. It's cool, it's fun, it's exciting.
Cory Monteith -
How do I put this? 'Glee' is like 'High School Musical' if 'High School Musical' had its stomach punched and its lunch money stolen.
Cory Monteith -
I'm a pretty good snowboarder but a terrible surfer.
Cory Monteith -
I'm Canadian, but no, I don't speak French.

I think having worked in a department store setting, if my life had not taken a drastically different turn when I became an actor, there's a very high probability I would have continued to work at the department store.
Cory Monteith -
I took out a whole fireplace and put in broken glass and installed a burner underneath, so it looks like fire on ice. I did that in my bedroom suite. I'm pretty handy.

I probably tweet every other day, which I know isn't half as much as some people.
Cory Monteith -
I think if you show up and you work hard and you're straightforward, you can always create your own opportunities. I hope I'm right.
Cory Monteith -
I've worked as a labourer, driven taxis and school buses, and been a car mechanic - whatever I could do just to get by. But it does mean that I know a little bit about a lot of things.
Cory Monteith -
I recently had a few days off while shooting a movie in Budapest, so I took a cab from the set to the airport, looked at the departure board, and decided where I wanted to go right then and there. I spent four days in Rome and didn't tell anyone I was going.
Cory Monteith -
I'm a big fan of 'Glee.' I think it's really smart. And I think it's well-timed. But you can't not be surprised at the reception this show's received. It's really something else.
Cory Monteith -
I stole a significant amount of money from a family member. I knew I was going to get caught, but I was so desperate I didn't care. It was a cry for help.

It's really annoying when you're trying to get to know someone and she doesn't pay attention to you because she's obsessed with her phone.
Cory Monteith -
I'll go out, but I leave early, before the shenanigans. I don't really do the Hollywood party thing. I'd rather watch sports or play videogames or work out or sleep, to be totally honest.
Cory Monteith -
I'm lucky on so many counts - I'm lucky to be alive.
Cory Monteith -
I like the idea of dating, but I'm not dating anyone exclusively, particularly right now. It's hard to be in a relationship unless you're ready to go public with it. So it's a lot easier for me to not be in a relationship. I really don't want that part of my life to be tabloid fodder.
