The Most Beautiful Woman In The World - Sue Sylvester

"I don't trust a man with curly hair. I can't help but picture little birds laying sulfurous eggs in there, and it disgusts me."

"That was the most offensive thing I've seen in 20 years of teaching — and that includes an elementary school production of Hair."

"I empower my Cheerios to live in fear by creating an environment of irrational, random terror."

"Every time I try to destroy that club, it comes back stronger, like some sexually ambiguous horror movie villain."

"You're too busy chasing tail and loading your hail with enormous amounts of product. Today, it just looks like you put lard in it."

"All I want is just one day a year when I'm not visually assaulted by uglies and fatties."

"I, for one, think intimacy has no place in a marriage. Walked in on my parents once and it was like seeing two walruses wrestling."

As with any memorable character, a lot of it has to do with good writing. However, as good as the writing is, Jane Lynch unarguably makes Sue Sylvester. What could quite easily have been an unlikable, over the top caricature is turned into a comic dynamo in the capable hands of Lynch.

She completely steals every single scene that she's in, and in a show that has many great comic performances, that's no mean feat. I know that you are supposed to hate her, but she is far and away my favourite character on Glee.

Primarily the main antagonist to our protagonists, her hatred of the Glee Club (and specifically Will Schuester) is a joy to watch, and she comes out with some truly memorable one liners.

I can't wait to see where Lynch and Ryan Murphy take Sue in the next nine episodes.
