Acclaimed TV actress Jane Lynch, most famous for her role as the grumpy, vengeful and overly competitive Coach Sue Sylvester in Fox’s “Glee”, is also now an author.

Set to be released this Fall is Lynch’s memoir, “Happy Accidents”, a collection of accounts from her career as an improv and stage actress, her works in movies like “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and “Best in Show”, her battle with alcohol abuse and her sexuality, and how Sue Sylvester mirrors the real her in so many ways.

In an interview with The New York Times, the actress shares how people can also see a glimpse of Jane Lynch – past and present – through the Cheerios coach. “Sue Sylvester didn’t come out of a vacuum…She’s someone that lives very deeply in me. I kind of liked that shaming, vengeful energy during different periods of my life. I was in therapy and I was complaining about somebody not following the rules, and my therapist basically started laughing at me and said, ‘You must write a monologue about this, because it’s hilarious stuff.’”

To write the memoir, 50-year old Lynch found motivation through the speeches she gave during her Emmy and Golden Globe winning moments. Most of her speeches would circle around what she would’ve told herself back in her teen years when she was struggling with her sexuality, lack of confidence and all that negativity.

“There’s just so much I think I could encapsulate in one phrase: don’t suffer. You’re going to be unsure, you’re not going to have confidence, you’re going to feel like the parade is passing you by…And you can feel all of that, but the mental component of suffering doesn’t have to be there. And if I could go back in time, that’s what I would love to tell myself. You don’t have to sweat it,” says Lynch.
