When asked about possibly writing about his time on "Glee", the New York Times bestselling author expressed that he is still enjoying his own craft and is not looking forward to reliving any past drama.

"I've had many opportunities to do it and I just feel like my books are doing so well and I'm making so many families happy right now," he said. "So, why go back and relive some painful memories?"
