The U.K.?s Mirror interviewed Morrison about which Glee character he was most similar to in high school, fame, post-Glee plans, and words of advice. Below are �some of our favorite quotes from the article.

Morrison on what he was like in high school:

?I was like Finn in Glee. I was popular, I performed the lead in all the shows, but I also played soccer. I was really torn, but my teacher, my Mr. Schuester, said he thought I was special and should go for it.?

Morrison?s thoughts on fame:

?I don?t necessarily like it. I wouldn?t recommend it to anyone. Once you?re famous you can?t go back. I really enjoyed my struggle and I?m proudest of my theatre work as it was always my dream to be a Broadway star. But I never wanted to be famous. I?m a home boy, I love cooking, drinking wine and entertaining friends at home.?

Morrison?s post-Glee plans:

?I don?t think anyone wants to be in a role forever. Although Glee is amazing, I have so much in the tank that is just hungry to go. That?s why I wanted to do the album and go on tour. It?s my chance to be in front of a live audience. I?ll probably do another couple of seasons of Glee, but I really want to get back on stage in the theatre.?

Words of advice he would give to his high school self:

?Stay true to yourself and keep your friends close. Also ? and this is something I need to do more ? enjoy it. Sometimes I feel like this whole Glee thing is so crazy and busy it?s just passing me by.?
