Both Jane Lynch and Lea Michele tell Emmy they feel a connection to their characters.
“There’s a real person beneath the bravado who wants to be accepted and loved although she would never show that," Jane says of her character Sue Sylvester. "In her narcissistic view of the world, everything’s about one-upping and victory. I had an acting teacher in college we called the Dragon Lady. She taught through shame and humiliation, and when she walked down the hall, people would part like the Red Sea."

“I’d drive around in my Honda Civic visiting 7-Elevens. I’d pretend I was looking for a certain product, quiz the clerks and, depending on their performance, reward them with cash prizes," Cory shares on his job as a secret shopper in Vancouver. "It wasn’t a bad way to earn a paycheck.”
