Lea Michele was a "ballsy little kid".
Lea Michele had "no fear" when she was a child and never worried about anything.
Lea 27, plays singing sensation Rachel Berry in 'Glee' reveals she had no fear of anything when she was younger and proved that to her mother when she auditioned for a part in 'Les Miserables' at the age of eight.
She said: "When I was eight and I auditioned for 'Les Miserables' [was when I realised I could sing]. My friend was auditioning and I wanted to too. Mum was like, 'You can't sing', but I'd never tried!
"After the audition I said, 'I think they really like me'. She said if we ever hear from them again, it will be a miracle. I was a ballsy little kid. I felt no fear at all."
Michele has reportedly been branded a diva in the past by fellow celebrities and her co-stars but, although she insists the rumours are completely false, she claims she doesn't care what other people think of her anymore.
She was recently quoted in Love Pop magazine as saying "I am a very outspoken person, and if something makes me uncomfortable, you will know that it makes me uncomfortable. But that's as a far as it goes. I can assure that diva rumours aren't real. It's super frustrating sometimes, and I used to fight back, but now I feel like, 'You can think what you want to think about me - that's OK."
