Hi guys, this is Liz Kennedy with Young Hollywood. We are here at Sony in the fabulous New York City about to interview Lea Michele.

So, you're back in New York. Did you miss it? What's going on?

Oh my God, well, you know I'm from here, so um every time I come back it just like it's always going to be home for me even though I live in Los Angeles now, and I love being here. You know, it's hard right now. I'm working so much, so I can't like do all of my fun New York stuff that I usually do, but I make sure to like go to some of my restaurants and I just it makes me feel so happy when I can come back home.

I did a little digging, I found out you're from the Bronx. Are you a true Yankees fan?

Of course I am.

Really?

Oh, 100%. My my father would literally come here and like grab me by the hair if I said anything else.

Also, I noticed that you are a huge SoulCycle fan. Is there any other class that you're like really into or something that you find I know people always ask you what your fitness thing is. I just saw that you love SoulCycle, I didn't know if you do anything else.

I love SoulCycle. I also do Body by Simone. I do um hot yoga. I go to CorePower, which is incredible, I love that so much. And I hike, you know, I I just try to like stay active, but those are like my little obsessions right now and I always like find new workouts and try different things, but those are like the three that I'm always have on loop. I'm working so hard right now. I'm on a television show. I'm launching a concert series. I'm releasing an album. I do a lot of charity work. And so for me, my life is really busy and full.

Speaking about your album, the songs are very touching. I mean, honestly, I was listening to them, I was, they're really beautiful. I I mean that. Do you have a favorite song and which one is the most inspiring if you can pick one?

I think that they all have such a special meaning for me. I think that Love is Alive is so beautiful, but Anything's Possible I think is the true anthem of the album. Um it's so inspiring and it's such has such a great beat and that that for me has been my personal anthem for the past two years since I've had it in our sort of song deck um and I love that and I think that, you know, people will like it as well.

I'm so proud of you. You really are the true Young Hollywood star. I mean, honestly, it's such a pleasure to be around women that are positive. What would you give any advice to a young woman in Hollywood or even in a career whether it's nursing or law? What would you say when she's like, you know what, I'm I want to give up? When you were there, what were you feeling and how did you get through that?

I mean, for me, I just I'm really grateful. I have incredible support from my family. Anytime I've ever felt, you know, that life was sort of, you know, hitting me in a negative way, I lean on my family and they've always been there for me.
