Did you know

Edit
  • Trivia
    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.
  • Quotes
    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.
