Lea Michele: “I can eat some bitches under the table”

Lea Michele knows how to eat.

The Glee actress says that the Italian in her means that she has a good attitude towards food – despite rumours of an eating disorder after her weight loss last year.

“I’m half Italian,” she said. “I can eat some bitches under the table.”

Lea also discusses the diva title she is often labelled with.

“Not everybody knows you and has the same sense of humor. At the same time, if I couldn’t be myself, I’d lose my mind. I came from the theater world, where the word ‘diva’ was awesome,” she said.

“But it’s different in Los Angeles. And this all happened to me so quickly. But I came to L.A., and the first audition I went on was for Glee. And I was on the show two months later and had a very different life.”
