Colfer: Kurt Makes Kids Feel Less Alone

Chris Colfer says Kurt, his breakout character on Glee, helps young people feel less lonely.

"If you look at my Facebook or my Twitter account, there's letter after letter from kids of all ages, all shapes and sizes, all races, just so thankful there's someone they can relate to," the Golden Globe-winning actor says in an interview with The Daily Telegraph.

"One of the most emotional ones I got was from a little boy who was probably five or six, saying 'Kurt makes me feel like I'm not alone.'"

In the interview Colfer shares his own experience of being bullied in high school and discusses how it helped him relate to his popular TV character.
