Qui abbiamo un veloce Q&A di Colfer per il Daily Mail. The all-singing, all-dancing star tells us about finding refuge from his star status by writing fairy tales for children, and who made him the most starstruck on the set of Glee. - Could you tell us about your second children’s fiction book, The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns? I’m not sure why I decided to write children’s books – it was just something I wanted to do. Harry Potter was the first time I felt excited about reading, and I used to spend hours thinking about my own stories. They gave me an escape, they gave me friends and different worlds to think about. - How do you make time to write with your busy schedule? I never know if I’m going to be filming or shooting or on a world tour. I wrote some of this book backstage at the O2 arena [while performing in the Glee Live show]. I just take it chapter by chapter, vomiting what I’m thinking on to the page. -Have you ever been starstruck on the Glee set? It’s lessened over time because when you have these people – Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson, Sarah Jessica Parker [all of whom have guest starred in the show] – on set with the regular cast [Chris’s Glee co-star Cory Monteith has tragically passed away since this interview] and talk to them, you realise that everyone is human. But I’ve been trying to campaign for Julie Andrews to play my grandmother and I know I’d be starstruck with her. -What would your dream dinner party involve? Sushi. Every other restaurant in LA is a sushi place – you can eat your face off and never get a stomach ache. And I’d invite the Queen, as it would be the only way I’d get to meet her. I love everything about the royals: I met Princess Beatrice once and talked her ear off for an hour. - What is your earliest memory? I claim to remember birth, even though I’m always told it’s impossible. And I remember being in a stage adaptation of Jane Eyre when I was a child, playing Jane’s abusive cousin St John, but the girl playing Jane was a foot taller than me, so I was this tiny kid beating up this huge girl. - What do you see when you look in the mirror? I hate mirrors; every time I look in one I see things that could be improved. If I could give my younger self any advice it would be: ‘Take a deep breath, the world is not ending – and do something with your hair.’ I had the same haircut from when I was a toddler all the way through high school, it was this weird side-parting. I didn’t like change.
