I didn’t want anybody to fill any holes for me-that sounds sexual!

“There is enough gossip, craziness, unhealthy s-t – girls against girls – in this f-king business”, the 28-year-old “Scream Queen” shared in the October issue of Flare magazine.

Michele explains she wanted to feel comfortable in her own skin before jumping into a new relationship, fearing it would feel incomplete.

One thing’s for sure, the actress is a strong lady and it’s no surprise she continues to do so well in her career: “I’m so proud of my success”. Michele has become close to her co-star Emma Roberts, and she revels in the show’s female camaraderie.

She tells Flare magazine, “I wanted to make sure that I was OK with me, feeling strong and feeling happy on my own. And that’s when someone miraculously came into my life”. Ryan was saying the show is totally girl power. But Michele, who recently published a self-help book for women titled You First: Journal Your Way to Your Best Life, said she found love again because she focused on herself. “I’ve kept my head on my shoulders to get to where I am”, she tells FLARE. “For making me smile again and bringing such a bright joy into my every day”. It’s not a Broadway album, but there are definitely theatrical elements to it. It’s not about being a pop record and getting on the radio; for me, this is about people listening to the songs and going ‘Oh, that’s Lea Michele? Lea publicly dealt with her grief on “Glee”, but in real life, being on her own was something she needed to grapple with in order to open herself up to love again.

In fact, the actress’ 29th birthday is coming up on August. 29. “This is like my Charlize Theron in ‘Monster” moment”, said Michele, referring to the 2003 Patty Jenkins-directed flick, in which the 40-year-old actress played a serial killer.
