Not pretty enough & not human enough, but there you go. Life is unpredictable.

“I’m five-foot-three,” she muses. “I don’t look like a lot of other people, you know what I mean? I look like I’m 12.”
She looks like about 90% of the women in the New York/New Jersey area.

Funny, I think she's a total babe.
Take that, "Owen," I said something really nice about Lea!

Somehow, I have a hard time believing this is actually true (and not just because LM has been known to, ahem, stretch the truth when it suits her).
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

The thing that bothers me about this altogether (and I think she's pretty enough, but not a babe) is that you look at some of the great Broadway singers in the past, and you realize that they wouldnt stand a chance today. Merman would get bit parts and character roles. Gertrude Lawrence would be dismissed out of hand. It's pretty sad.

Maybe she's saying this to try to plant yet another connection between her and Babs in the public's mind. ("They told me I wasn't pretty enough, just like my idol, Barbra!"). Of course Broadway is a bastion for oddballs and beauty queens alike. Of people working today, I'd hardly consider Idina Menzel or Caissie Levy or Nina Arianda or even Sutton Foster traditionally beautiful, but they seem to be working steadily and playing leading lady roles.

Totally agree with AC, Sean, it's not like everybody on Broadway is drop dead gorgeous. Far from it. For every Luker there is a Lupone (with all due respect to the handsome Ms. Lupone, I'm sure she'd be the first to agree that she is not your average glamor girl).
Even in Hollywood for goodness sake. Just consider that Renee, hardly a beauty, is not only a movie star, but got Roxie!

I know exactly how she feels. I was told I'm not famous enough to be pretty.

^ Chenoweth. Another person I'd put on the "not traditionally attractive" list. She's doing pretty well for herself, no?

Nor is she talented enough or humble enough or nice enough. Not being pretty enough is the least of her shortcomings, and yet she's famous. Sometimes good things happen to sh*tty people.

She could try to be nicer to others, since she knows such pain.

ColortheHours, why would you call Michele a sh*tty person? What has she done that is so terrible? Her only crime from what I can tell is being fame-hungry.
That said, as someone who has had a crush on Lea since "Spring Awakening," I have to admit my admiration for her went down a couple notches after reading this interview. At the age of 26 or whatever she is she has already achieved more than what 99.9% of actors achieve in their entire careers. Rather than declaring that she wants more, she should be expressing gratitude for what she has.

Given the stories I've heard firsthand from people who know her well about how she treats people she deems to be beneath her, or how she can be vindictive, spiteful, jealous, and malicious towards people whom she perceives as a threat to her, ColorThe Hours might not be too far off.
I've met her, like, three times. She was pleasant in each situation. But the stories I've heard could curl my hair.

.. and pretty much every story about how evil she is toward people is true.
I will tell you first hand that I have seen several tantrums - no, not at a stage door, thanks - and each was not only unwarranted, but SHOCKINGLY bad... and at least one of those was when NO ONE except Ragtime-philes knew who she was.

One of my best friends witnessed an incident at a club where Lea wasn't served because she was under age and she flipped out on everyone. Typical kind of "Don't you know who I am? / I'm too important to be treated this way!" kind of BS. She's lived in a bubble of privilege her whole life. It happens when you've been told since the age of four that you're the greatest thing since the dishwasher.

Anything to gain attention. She makes me want to puke. She's the ONLY Reason I can't watch Glee. If it weren't for her I could probably tolerate it. She's just too gross.
