- Lea Michele Told ELLE Magazine that Cory's last words to her were "if you say so." During her first red carpet appearance since his death, those words were visible tattooed on her ribcage.
- In June 2011, Monteith told Parade Magazine that he had a "serious" drug problem from around age 13.
- Lea Michele added two songs to her debut album after Cory's death. One, called "Cannonball," will be her first single off of the album. The second song, "If You Say So," is the last thing he said to her.
- Was in a relationship with actress and co-star Lea Michele from 2011 until his death in 2013.
- Dropped out of school at 16, after attending 16 different schools.
- Maybe it'll be like The Simpsons (1989), and everybody will remain unchanged. Maybe that's what Glee (2009)'s about. Maybe this is kind of a stasis show. I don't know.
- It's always exciting to explore adult roles when the vast majority of viewers that have seen me on TV know me from Glee (2009), from something of a different tone.
- I've worked as a labourer, driven taxis and school buses, and been a car mechanic - whatever I could do just to get by. But it does mean that I know a little bit about a lot of things.
- I'm a big fan of Glee (2009). I think it's really smart. And I think it's well-timed. But you can't not be surprised at the reception this show's received. It's really something else.
- I'll go out, but I leave early, before the shenanigans. I don't really do the Hollywood party thing. I'd rather watch sports or play video games or work out or sleep, to be totally honest.
