Veteran actor and Golden Globe nominee Jane Lynch, who plays the wickedly evil Sue Sylvester on Fox's hit comedy show 'Glee', reveals in an interview with 'Movie Web' that while it has been confirmed her character will indeed get a chance to showcase her vocal chops before the show's season ends, Lynch is mum on the song choice. Nonetheless, she is able to dish briefly on all things 'Glee', including what the audience can next expect in relation to 'Sue' ("There is a decency to Sue. I think she just really enjoys being an off person. She gets great glee out of being a terrible person") and whether she will step behind the scenes and direct an episode. "That is a great question. I would like to. I want to do that. I haven't spoken to anyone about that. But I love directing. And I love calling the shots."

On the challenge of singing, Lynch admits her excitment, "I am. I am very excited about it. I can't tell you what I will be singing, because its top secret. But I have recorded already. I have had several dance rehearsals. It's going to be funny. Laying down the track was fantastic. It's really a dream come true, because I love to sing. I got sing in A Mighty Wind, which was a dream come true as well. I really enjoyed that experience. Its not as easy as one thinks. You have to be right on tone wise, and right on pitch wise. I used to think I was very good at those things. According to Adam, I am not. He had to direct me several times."
