“Glee” Press Conference

Sue: Oh, I’m sorry. I just realized that song might be the national anthem from whatever country you’re from.
Mike: That’s really offensive.

Sue: Becky, the special election to fill Ken “Heart Attack” Weigand’s congressional seat is in two months, and I am in ninth place at six percent, well behind “Undecided,” that rapist running from prison, and “I don’t care, please don’t call me during dinner.” I thought the people wanted a candidate who was for something. That’s why I took that pro-deportation stance. But the people are angry. They want a candidate who’s against something.
Becky: What about toast? Bread’s already been baked. I don’t get why you need to cook it again.
Sue: Oh, Becky, your twisted genius excites me. That said, I’m on the precipice of doom. I need to find something everyone hates.

63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards

So now you’re 51 and married with kids, you’re remodeling your home, your career’s at its peak — do you have anxiety about losing it all?
Jane Lynch: No, I don’t. I really don’t. I have a great deal of equanimity in my life, and I don’t have that feverish ambition or anxiety-filled need to go-go-go anymore. I really let things come and go. I don’t suffer much, which also means I don’t get crazy elated about anything. I’m not too high and I’m not too low. I’m kind of in a nice middle place.

 You’re often cast as authority figures like Sue, but you say the core of these characters doesn’t match your own, so you often feel like a fraud.
Jane Lynch: Absolutely. It is not my core, however it lives in me. I would not be able to portray it if I didn’t have that. But I use it defensively, that kind of authority or arrogance or indefensive entitlement. My core is much squishier and a little bit insecure…I don’t want to ask for too much, I don’t want to rub people the wrong way. I don’t want anyone to get mad at me. Sometimes I do have to get a little boundaried and state what I need, and I haven’t been great at that, but I’m getting there. I think that that rivals what I’ve put out in the world through my characters who are very boundaried and all entitled to the max. And I think that’s why I get such a kick out of doing it, because that doesn’t match at all who I am [or] how I walk through the world.
