“So I really have been putting that in high gear and I have been working for the past three years seriously on making that album, and it’s tough ‘cause I come from so many different worlds,” he explained to MTV News. “I could make that very niche pretentious, Wall of Sound, Rufus Wainwright, Animal Collective fusion record, which I will make someday maybe, but it won’t sell ‘cause nobody will like it except me. I could do that, but as an artist everyone has a responsibility when they’re on a public landscape to cast the widest net and find the in-between.” — Darren Criss’ Debut Album Will Combine His ‘Many Different Worlds’ (via waltzy)



“I melted like chocolate when I looked in [Darren’s] eyes.” — Patty Duke (via darrencriss-news)



“Blaine is considering marrying Kurt and [I offer] my point of view on that. I had some beautiful scenes with Darren Criss, who is just turning into such a remarkable actor. Well, turning into, he was – but this year they’ve given him strong, strong material and a really nice, beautiful arc to play. And oftentimes, my scenes with him are triangulated with the presence of Chris Colfer, and in this episode, they’re not. I have one really beautiful scene with just Darren, and I loved it.” — Mike O’Malley (via staceysthings)



“Which is a nice lesson to learn in life: you’re only as awkward as you allow the moment to be.” — Darren Criss (after he had to stop and retune his guitar in the middle of Teenage Dream)



“My favorite thing about this clusterf*ck is how Blaine literally has no idea that Tina wants to blow his whistle. He’s that guy who lives in a bubble of his own handsome affability, just chasing an old lady down the road to tell her she dropped a hundred-dollar bill and having the old lady go, “Aw, just keep it.” And the pad thai driver showing up with his favorite meal even though he didn’t order it and telling him, what the heck, it’s on the house. And H&M always having just one more sold out shirt in his size back in the store room. And, “We don’t usually let people into the habitats to cuddle with the baby panda bears, Mr. Warbler, but I guess for you we can make an exception.” So when Tina gives him a handmade care package because she just senses that he’s sick, that’s the kind of serendipity Blaine calls “Tuesday.” — AfterElton, 04x13 recap (via colferchris)



“I can’t speak for all generations but I feel like mine has always been programed to believe one thing about aspirations; you win or you lose, there is no in-between. And unfortunately, the embarrassment of failure has always discouraged the attempt for success, so consequently, we don’t try.” — I respect Chris Colfer for a lot of reasons, but especially this one.  More of his EW blog.

“So if you wanna be cool, like really cool, like you’re already cool if you’re here, but if you wanna be super cool, like add a cape to your coolness… I guess… I don’t know why a cape is cool… but either way, check Freelance Whales out.” — Darren Criss (aka: biggest fanboy/best brother ever)



“Ahoy, everybody! Hello, um, this is Darren Criss, and I just wanted to let you know that you are listening to… Fuck, what was it called?” —

“Ultimately, the joy of the awards was felt throughout the room, as jokes zinged and friendly insults landed with mirthful punch. Criss, with his high confidence and ability to hypnotize audiences with just a smile, is a hosting natural, and a fan-driven awards show made for a splendid debut for a performer who knows how to reach his fans — maybe better than anyone else on Broadway.” — EW (via atleastwearetalking)
