Jayma Mays, who plays guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury on Glee, hit the stage to sing "Let It Snow" at a Dunkin’ donat charity event in New York City on Dec. 10. After the performance, bintang caught up with the 30-year-old actress to discuss everything from her hit tampil to starting a family with hubby Adam Campbell.
Were anda surprised oleh Glee’s enormous success?
Jayma: Yes! We didn’t know what to expect when we started. The fact that people are watching and are really excited oleh it gets us even lebih excited to come to work.
Viewers have been waiting a long time for Emma and Mr. Schuester to kiss!
Jayma: So has Emma, let’s not lie about that! And for the record, he kissed her. Emma did not ciuman him. Emma is not a homewrecker.
With the tampil on hiatus until April, what are anda doing with your free time?
Jayma: I’m visiting family. That is the focus for the rest of this month. I am going to see my husband’s family, my family, our nieces and nephews and celebrate the holidays. I am so thankful we have the time to do that.
Your character fears germs. Are anda the same in real life?
Jayma: I never really thought about it until I got this job and began to play Emma. But I will confess I am lebih aware now than I was before. Now I won’t touch handrails, and I keep Purell in my pocketbook.
Are anda and Adam considering having a baby anytime soon?
Jayma: Definitely, but I don’t think we are ready just yet — maybe in a couple of years. We really want a family, because that is what life is about. If I can’t have kids, then I will adopt!
