Glee star Darren Criss graces the upcoming cover of  Billboard magazine.

The accompanying story talks about Criss’ start in musical theater, a possible solo album and the Glee tour. Here are some excerpts:

Why he started in musical theater:
“For me, it was Disney. I remember seeing people’s reaction to ‘Aladdin’ and thinking, ‘Oh, man, I want to be a genie when I grow up!’ Robin Williams is a pretty big character in San Francisco. I was like, ‘I want to do whatever that guy does. What does he do, Mom? He’s an actor? OK, I want to do that.'”

About a possible solo album with Sony music:
“We’re working on it – we’re really excited and it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I’m so thrilled that it’s something that can happen because of ‘Glee,’ and like the Warblers album I hope I can do it justice and make it something that people can really enjoy.”

About playing at Staples Center:
“A year ago, I was so psyched that my first show in LA was at the Troubadour. Talk about so much for baby steps. It’s like, ‘Wait — Staples Center, are you kidding me?’ I was happy to drive around in a beat-up, crappy old van with my bandmates and just go to small clubs around the country.”
