Lea Michele: “I don’t have any skeletons in my closet”

Don’t expect any dirt to pop up on Lea Michele.

The Glee actress is proud to be a role model, and proof that you don’t always have to do what the cool kids do.

“I’m really proud [to be a role model],” she said. “I don’t have any skeletons in my closet and I don’t feel like I’m pretending to be someone that I’m not.”

“Yes, I work really hard and I’m determined like Rachel [Berry, the character she plays] but I’m also a really happy, easy-going person.”

“Plus, I’m proud of the choices I made growing up and want to show young girls that you don’t have to do what all the cool kids do in order to turn out OK in the real world.”
