I've been on 'Hollyoaks' since I was 15, and I've grown up on the show. I'm so very fortunate to be given the opportunity to learn my craft in such a fantastic environment.

Even if I weren't in Hollywood, I would feel pressure to look a certain way.

I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies, and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because, in general, they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan!

I'm under pressure with all my films. And the reason we are always under pressure is because it's only in our profession that months and even years of hard work is judged by the first show on Friday.

Being in the limelight with 'Glee,' I've definitely felt pressure to stay fit. But honestly, you have to ignore it.

I put a lot of pressure on myself, more than anyone else.

I didn't get into acting to have a moment, I got into it because of people who've inspired me, like Judi Dench, Holly Hunter, and Jodie Foster.

I was putting all those pressures on myself.

I felt like I got more comfortable on 'Idol' when I just started being myself and not trying to be what I thought I had to be.
