Sylvester has a great popular sense, as good as any writer I've ever worked with. He knows what audiences want to see, and what they don't want to see.

So much of Sue Sylvester, the angry woman, came from that part of my life, wanting to crush other people's dreams and judging others so harshly, which is always just a way of deflecting your own self-judgment.

I'll write a character with a certain actor in mind, but then once I start casting, I have to forget about who I pictured.

I just needed to leave Hollywood.

I got too caught up in Hollywood, being so into myself and my image.

I've made a career of taking roles that other actresses didn't want.

After I got to Hollywood, I resented that I didn't get a crack at more dramatic roles because I photographed so beautifully.

I don't tend to picture my characters as actors and actresses.

I've been simultaneously drawn to and repelled from Hollywood for years.

I mean, I haven't been around very long. I can't expect everyone to have seen 'The House Bunny'. Oh God. I am having such waves of internal embarrassment, which now I'm admitting on a tape recorder. This is so one of the things I should keep in my head.
