Quotes by Darren Criss

I play mostly guitar, and I played drums in my brother’s band for a while growing up.

No matter how much we’re on our phones, going to the show is the goal – you look at things online and watch videos and read blogs and comment, all so that you can go in person and see it yourself, and meet these people in real life, and then so you can go home and talk about it again on your screen.

I never thought I would meet Mariah Carey, but I really never thought I’d be introduced to her by Whitney Houston. She’s like, ‘Hey, baby, this is Mariah.’ I’m like, ‘I know. I’m Darren. I don’t know what I’m doing here.’

I would be the worst president in the history of the United States. Unless you want the apocalypse to happen really soon then yes, I’ll run for president.
