Heather Morris featured in American Cheerleader Magazine!

Actress Heather Morris has taken the television world by storm with her comedic one-liners and fierce dance moves on FOX’s hit show “Glee.” After touring as a backup dancer for Beyoncé, the then dancer was brought onto the set of “Glee” to help out with choreography, but soon found herself playing the role of Brittany, the show’s clueless but lovable cheerleader. Because of this American Cheerleader magazine knew she'd be the perfect cover girl for the April issue, which recently hit stands. Being a former cheerleader herself, Heather’s had no trouble rocking the now famous Cheerio uniform as she posed for the cover. In fact, she even channeled her inner Brittany at her photo shoot as well as opened up who the real Heather is.

Check out some quotes from her feature:

Heather on why people are so passionate about "Glee:"

I think our generation is definitely more open and accepting. But more so, we have technology and music—and people cling to the music most. When things are down economically, people reach for something else, and I think people like the show because it keeps their spirits up. A lot of people tell me that they come home and “Glee’s” the thing that keeps them going. We don’t have many positive TV shows anymore.

Heather on her character's great one-liners:

I think everybody wants to have a Brittany-ism! She can say any random thing and it’s funny. I look forward to [the lines] I have to say.

Heather on crazy rumors:

Not that I need to clear this up, but I did think it was funny when there was a picture taken where I had a great bra on and they said I got a boob job because I was famous now. I was like, “What?”

Heather on starting her own cheer squad:

"We didn't have a cheer squad in middle school, so we started our own. My mom even made us matching sweatshirts! My sister e-mailed me recently to tell me she has a video of us performing at halftime-which I used to choreograph all the dances for-and it's so cute!"

Heather on wanting to give up dancing:

"I performed the "Single Ladies" with Beyoncé on tour, and when I came back I decided to stop dancing-completely-because I wasn't into it anymore. I wanted to act and didn't want to stay in L.A. just to dance."

Heather on who would win in a dance-off between Brittany S. Pierce and Mike Chang: "Mike Chang probably. I think he's amazing. I think I'm too trained-and cheesy."

Heather's obsession at the moment:

"I love the "Vampire Diaries" and "Modern Family." I love vampires, I really do. And I liked them before they were popular."
