After the performance, ster caught up with the 30-year-old actress to discuss everything from her hit toon to starting a family with hubby Adam Campbell.
Were u surprised door 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 door it gets us even meer 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 kiss him. Emma is not a homewrecker.
With the toon on hiatus until April, what are u 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 u 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 meer aware now than I was before. Now I won’t touch handrails, and I keep Purell in my pocketbook.
Are u 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!
