這篇報導是好久不見的深入訪談，除了談一些以前沒有提過的東西，有些曾經拋出過的資訊他也以其他角度去談論他的看法。很棒的訪問，非常推薦，以下大略翻一下我覺得很重要的段落 >w< 誠摯感謝Alyx姐大量校正 QQ2013/07/12 London Evening Standard｜Prince Charming: Glee star Chris Colfer turns teen author
- Hearing a bunch of 40-year-olds talking about what’s appealing to teenagers is always funny,’
- ‘When I was a teenager, a studio executive told me that if I wanted to make a movie, it was going to have to be about how the character lost his virginity, how he wants to become popular, otherwise nobody’s gonna want to see it. I was like, “Absolutely not.” Not every teenager in the world is on a quest to become popular. I certainly wasn’t; when I was in high school, I wanted people to leave me alone.’
當Chris還是個青少年的時候，電影公司的監製曾經告訴他，如果他想要拍攝一部以青少年為主題的電影，那麼那部電影的主軸就必須圍繞在主角如何失去童貞、如何受歡迎，否則會沒有人對那部電影感興趣。但是對Chris來說，以他個人的經驗很難去同意這些大叔的想法，並不是每位青少年想的只有受歡迎，至少他自己在高中時代最希望的就是其他人不要煩他，讓可以做他自己想做的事情。
- ‘My voice was so unique. I was never able to sing how I wanted to sing — I wanted to sing songs in my key! It was so frustrating. In choirs you get separated by gender, so I was like, “OK, tenor and bass, those are my options, great.” Sometimes I’d be uncomfortable singing low for so long. But I couldn’t think of another male character role with a high-pitched voice, apart from Mickey Mouse, and that was taken. So it was like, of course I can’t go into singing: there’s no part that exists for me.’
因為Chris的聲音太過特別，而且在合唱團中大多數是以性別分聲部，所以他通常只有tenor（男高音）或是bass（男低音）可以選擇，無法依照他想要的key和方式唱歌，不只讓他很挫敗，有的時候甚至會因為低音唱太久而感到不適。在當時Chris無法想像除了米老鼠之外的高音角色（而且已經被演走了 XD），因此對他來說當然不可能選擇唱歌，現實是沒有任何適合的角色存在。
（然後我們都知道glee發生了什麼事情 XD）
- ‘Everything that I have, I own. I grew up with very little, so when we started getting real money from the show, I was the person keen to buy a house; that way I’d always have a place to live whatever happened. I’m always very frugal and responsible with my finances.’
Chris擁有的每樣東西，都是自己買下、所有權都屬於他自己。在他成長過程中能擁有的東西不多，所以開始因為演出有實質的收入後，Chris是glee演員中最想買房子的人，這樣一來，無論日後發生什麼事，都有地方可以住。Chris總是非常節儉並對財務管理十分認真。。（他說過自己開始工作後給自己的第一個禮物是：雇用財稅律師。）
- He’s not a big partygoer, although he recently went to a Beyoncé concert and somehow talked his way into a private viewing lounge. ‘I don’t think I was on the list but I had a couple of close friends in there so I convinced the bouncer to let me in,’
- If he ever has time off, which is rare, ‘I’ll go to sleep on my couch in my Cookie Monster pyjamas or watch mindless reality TV, like Real Housewives.’
Chris不喜歡參加派對，雖然他最近才坐在私人包廂裡觀賞了碧昂絲的演唱會。他開玩笑表示，他不覺得自己在邀請名單上，但因為有幾位朋友在裡面，所以他說服保鑣讓他進入 XD。當他難得有假期時，他會穿著Cookie Monster（芝麻街藍色那隻）在沙發上睡覺或是看一些不用腦袋的實境秀，例如Real Housewives。
- As for boyfriends: ‘I can’t answer. Honestly, the only reason I won’t answer is because I have a very... passionate fanbase. There’s a group of them that can be very invasive sometimes, so I always keep those things to myself.’
關於男朋友，Chris表示他不會公開談論男朋友的事，因為他的fans非常熱情，而在這些熱情的fans中，有時候某些人的行為可能逾矩，所以關於這個就讓他保留。
- Still, he wouldn’t rule out having a family one day. ‘Right now I’m very career-driven. Maybe when I’m 30 I’ll turn round and have that conversation with myself. “Do I want to have kids? Do I want to leave something behind?” We’ll see.’
對目前的Chris來說，他的重心還是放在衝刺事業，至於是否組成家庭，也許30歲後他會回過頭來想是否想要孩子，到時候再看看囉。
- ‘There are a lot of Glee fans, and they’re everywhere, always. I think my biggest fear is to upset or disappoint one of them, but when you’re constantly asked to stop and be famous, and not live your life... a lot of them don’t understand. I made the mistake of going to a movie theatre by myself in a touristy part of LA when shooting got cancelled one afternoon, and people were grabbing me, yanking me so they could take a picture and tell all their Facebook friends that they saw me. I left with bruises on my arms.’
對Chris來說他最大的恐懼可能是讓廣大的glee fans不開心或失望，但是很多fans無法了解，當你無時無刻被人攔下來，要求你當個名人與其合照，而沒有自己的生活的感覺。他曾經犯了一個錯，在某個取消拍攝的下午自己一個人去LA觀光區的電影院看電影。結果人們為了拍張照片放在FB上而拉他、抓他，只為了能告訴其他朋友說看到他了，他手臂卻因此留下不少淤傷。
========================================
也許有些人會對Chris上面訪談提到的某些部分有誤會，但是對我來說我覺得他是希望fans可以尊重他，他除了是「Chris Colfer」之外，也跟我們一樣是普通人類，當有群眾不尊重他甚至是攻擊他，他會不開心、害怕、會受傷。所以身為fans可以做的是有禮貌地詢問他、尊重他的回應，可以跟他有很棒的互動喔 XD！
