What is the monologue that Rachel Berry from Glee says in the first episode?

Answer 1

"Hi my name is Rachel Berry and I'll be singing "On My Own" from the seminal Broadway classic Les Mis. You might laugh because everytime I sign my name I put a gold star after it, but it's a metaphor. And metaphors are important. My gold stars are a metaphor. For me. Being a star.

And just so we're clear, I'd like to clear up that hateful rumor that I turned that closet case Sandy Rhyerson in because he gave Hank Saunders the solo I deserved! That cocklewoop. He was touching Hank, caressing him. It was so wrong! (shaking with tears) I'm not homophobic. In fact, I have two gay dads. See I was born out of love. My two dads searched for potential surrogates based on beauty and IQ. Then they mixed their sperm together using a turkey baster. To this day, we still don't know which one is my real dad, which I think is pretty amazing.

My dads spoiled me in the arts. I was getting dance lessons, vocal lessons...ANYTHING to give me a competitive edge. You might think that all the boys in school would totally want to tap this, but my MySpace schedule keeps me way too busy to date. I try to post a MySpace video every day just to keep my talent alive and growing. Nowadays, being anonymous is worse than being poor. Fame is the most important thing in our culture now, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that no one's going to just hand it to you."
