Dianna Agron always knew she wanted to be in showbiz. The San Francisco native even scrapped college plans to move to Los Angeles and chase down her dream. But when she faced her potential big break—a starring role on Fox’s musical sensation, Glee—she almost didn’t get out of the car to attend the audition. “I was nervous out of my mind,” recalls the 23-year-old. “I was sitting in the parking lot thinking, Are you going to do this or are you going to walk away?”
She took a deep breath, walked in, and nailed it, nabbing the role of the pseudo-virtuous cheerleader Quinn Fabray. Since that day, Dianna has written and sold a screenplay, and performed the National Anthem at game three of the World Series. Listen in as this positive-thinking powerhouse offers advice on how to conquer fear, pick yourself up after setbacks, and grab on to your goals.

Meet Will Schuester’s new rival.
Broadway star Idina Menzel is in negotiations to recur on Fox’s Glee.
Menzel, who may appear in all of the remaining nine episodes of the season, will play the coach to glee club Vocal Adrenaline, McKinley High’s glee club’s main competition.
Menzel has said she is a big fan of Glee.
She won a Tony for her role on Wicked. Her co-star on the show, Kristin Chenoweth, guest starred on Glee this season.
Menzel is the second Broadway name to recur on Glee this spring.
Jonathan Groff, who co-starred opposite Glee star Lea Michele in the Broadway production of Spring Awakening, will be doing a five- to six-episode story arc playing the lead male vocalist of Vocal Adrenaline and a potential love interest for Michele’s Rachel Berry.
