'Glee' writer admits script anxiety

Ian Brennan has admitted that he gets nervous about writing episodes of Glee.

Brennan, who also executive produces the show, told the New York Times that he is often worried about his deadlines.

"The big learning curve has been figuring out how to deal with the anxiety," he said. "You have a script deadline and this enormous operation depending on you and - sorry! - you have no ideas."

However, Brennan explained that writing lines for Jane Lynch, who plays Sue Sylvester, comes naturally to him.

"It honestly just kind of flows out, kind of in aria form, and I have to whittle the writing down to something usable," he said. "It's just the mean things that pop into the back of your mind that you sometimes want to say but don't. The difference is that Sue actually says it."

Brennan also confessed that he sometimes uses his fellow executive producer Ryan Murphy for inspiration, saying: "Sometimes if I get stuck I'll think, 'What would Ryan say in one of his really mean moments?'"

Glee continues on Tuesdays at 8/7c on Fox.
