Most embarrassing on-stage mishap.
- I went up at two different performances of a play called "Port Authority" by Conor McPherson at the Atlantic Theater Company in 2008 and had to call for line.
That was very scary.

Worst habit?

- Yes, I took a notepad from "The Newsroom" that has my character's name on it.
- Ooh, have you ever witnessed Lea Michele read?
- Yes, all the time.
(buzzer buzzing) - Final answer, time's up!
- We text regularly.
- Okay, final answer, she can read, that was amazing.
