Matthew Morrison

I don't think anyone wants to be in a role forever.

Fame, you know, it's like a handgun - in the wrong hands, it's dangerous.

Most of the songs I wrote are personal.

I don't think anyone can get away from high school unscathed.

I'm an awful golfer.

I speak a little Spanish but I am so impressed by people who can speak a lot of different languages.

I'm a great bowler. I was in a couple of leagues as a kid.

My friends hate me because I do pick up things really quickly.

The paparazzi is kind of crazy here in L.A., but it's nothing like it is in London. They are animals over there, it's insane.

Everyone thinks I'm a nice guy, which is not a bad way to be perceived.

My favourite place in the world to run is Stanley Park in Vancouver. One loop around there is perfect.

Once you're famous you can't go back.

I grew up as an only child. My parents weren't great conversationalists. We had a quiet house. I'm not very verbal.

I've had people following me home or standing outside my house. It's strange. I just don't think people were meant to be worshipped or idolised.

There are so many stage actors on TV but you wouldn't know they were stage actors. And film and TV actors are going to the stage as well, so the crossover is great now.

I don't get as much female attention as you'd think, because I never go out.

I know what it takes to be a good boyfriend. Time, first and foremost. To be there for someone and be involved in their life.

Running has been almost my savior.

Music has the ability to comfort people.

In high school, I had two friends that were suffering from cancer. I would go and sing for them while they were in hospital, and I sang at their services after they passed.

I like pushing myself, and usually if I'm not good at something I just won't do it because I'm a perfectionist.

I love candlelit dinners.

I love London and British women.

I want my shows to be very classic and timeless.

You don't want to play a perfect person; no one cares about that.
