Jayma Mays

Jayma:(About her time in high school) I don't know how other people preceived me, but I don't feel like I ever fit in anywhere. I did a little bit of everything. I was a cheerleader. I did Mathletes. I was really across-the-board, like a nutcase. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so I just did everything. I was even part of FHA, Future Homemakers of America. How lost was I? As you can see today...

Jayma: (On why she wanted to be a part of Glee) First of all, it was when I found out Ryan Murphy was involved (I knew that before I had even read the script). I think he is brilliant and I love everything he does. That intrigued me right away. Then, when I read it I fell in love with the character. The second I read it I thought, "Gosh, if I could be a part of this project it would be fantastic." It had everything going for it. It's different, quirky, it's a fight for the underdog and it's got music in it. Everything about it made it a no-brainer situation.

Jayma: (On the chemistry on the set of Glee) Matthew Morrison plays the lead and he is the Glee Club coach. That's who Emma is in love with. I've worked with him once before. That was great because I kind of felt we kind of knew each other enough to feel like we didn't need to build that chemistry. As far as the Glee kids, I don't know because they have a lot of scenes on their own. They seem to be just really hitting it off. They are always hanging out on set, laughing and goofing around. You can tell they've really bonded. I don't know if that was immediate, but it really seems like they've bonded quickly.
