Was bullied in high school, but feels that it made him much more quick witted and fast on his feet.

Originally auditioned for the role of "Artie" on Glee (2009), but did not get it. The casting agents were so impressed with his audition that they wrote the role of "Kurt" for him. They named the character "Kurt Hummel", due to Colfer's past role of "Kurt" in "The Sound of Music", when he was fourteen, and because of his rosy cheeks, which reminded them of "Hummel" figurines.

During high school, he was involved with speech & debate, drama, the F.F.A., was president of the writers' club, editor of the school literary magazine, and captain of Destination Imagination.

Inspired the Glee (2009) episode, The Rocky Horror Glee Show (2010), due to his persistent campaigning to get to sing "The Time Warp".

Lost over 40 pounds in 2007 thanks to "horrible methods called diet and exercise.".

My life is an awkward visit from the kids table.

On getting slushied on Glee (2009): It felt like I was bitch-slapped by an iceberg.

Nurse Jackie (2009) is my favorite show! Brilliant characters! It makes me laugh so hard, that police come to my door thinking an animal is being abused.

It doesn't matter how old I get, I always act like an excited five year-old kid with severe ADD and a waddle at Disneyland.

Oh, I have this feud going with the L.A. Unified School District, because I keep getting these phone calls saying my daughter keeps missing classes, I mean, at all hours of the night, I had like, two calls this morning and I keep calling saying I haven't got a daughter! I'm 19! I mean, the 90's were a blur but I don't think I was impregnating anyone when I was two. I'm gonna find this girl and get her ass to school!
