Please don’t kill me, I’m nice.

Darren Criss

As a composer and as a musician I’m a true believer – and this is not to be overly diplomatic – I’m a believer that there’s artistry in everything from a lawn gnome to a desk chair to a symphony to an Andy Warhol painting. There’s art in absolutely everything.

I’ve always loved fairytales, and I’ve loved the concept of, um, some of the best parts of a lot of stories are the beginning.

Ideas People Thinking
I just hope I can continue to do work that matters to me, I’m not interested in being any kind of superstar or anything I’m not. I’m just a dude who got lucky and an artist who cares about the work that I do.

Me and my good friends from college would do random shows and plays that were sometimes serious, but most of the time really goofy and funny.

I’m this goofball. I look at myself in the mirror, and the person that I know doesn’t match up to what I think people love to perceive me as.

I would be the worst president in the history of the United States. Unless you want the apocalypse to happen really soon then yes, I’ll run for president.

I’m in a real minority as far as having really supportive parents in regards to the arts. They never batted an eye as far as not letting me do that stuff. That’s invaluable. I can’t believe how unabashedly supportive they were about everything, between music and acting.

I’m always just waiting for someone to cut me off; I’m a chatty guy.

Cutting Guy Waiting
I’m super annoying, I’m the kind of guy that if there’s no recycling bins around I hoard plastic bottles, put them in my bag and I bring them home. If I can afford it I want to put solar panels in.
