Lea Michele on Rachel Berry GLEE Spin-Off: 'Let's Do It'!

In an interview with Seventeen Magazine, Glee star Lea Michele reveals that she is totally on board with the idea of a spin off series for her fictional character Rachel Berry which would focus on her life as a struggling New York City actress.

"Let's do it," asserts the 27-year-old. "I think it could be Rachel living in New York and working on Broadway!"

In the feature, the actress, who recently posed for a racy photo spread with famed photographer Terry Richardson, shared that she has no problem appearing without her clothes on for an artistic photo shoot. "I'm very comfortable with my own body. I come from Broadway - everybody's naked on Broadway," she explains. "I like to think of myself as more granola. I'm not going to run around naked or anything like that unless I'm at my own home. Today, I walked into my backyard and was standing out there naked for a while. Don't tell: My neighbors will freak out!"

Michele also commented on the passing of her Glee co-star and longtime beau Cory Monteith, reflecting, "I only have happy memories of Cory. He was not his addiction - unfortunately, it won. But that wasn't who he was," she says. "Cory made me feel like a queen every day. From the minute he said, 'I'm your boyfriend,' I loved every day, and I thank him for being the best boyfriend and making me feel so beautiful."
