In an interview with New York Magazine, Broadway veteren and GLEE star Matthew Morrison chatted about the roles of his past and of what's in store for Mr. Schue in upcoming episodes.  Morrison answered questions submitted by fans about everything from his stint in the Legally Brown webseries to what kind of hair products he uses.

In response to a comment made by Madonna in which she said that 'Mr. Schuester is very cute,' Morrison said, "She said that? I did not know that. Well, she likes her younger guys, doesn't she?"  He went on to talk about this week's highy-anticipated  Madonna episode saying, "You're going to see Will fight back a lot. He has more of a backbone this second half of the season."

When asked about a potential duet with Idina Menzel he commented, "Uh, no. I'm all right with that. I don't need to sing with everyone." Morrison then talked about his feelings about Broadway versus TV he said, "It's constant rehearsal; I'm in almost every scene, and when we're not filming we're in dance rehearsals or the studio. It's been so hard. And it's a great learning process, but honestly, I'm more fulfilled on Broadway."
