Glee’s Jayma Mays on The Smurfs, OCD, and Doing It With Mr. Schuester

She’s best known for her turn as the OCD-addled guidance counselor Emma Pillsbury on Glee. But this week, Jayma Mays brings her quirky charm to the big screen as expectant mom and Smurf savior Grace Winslow in the animated/live-action hybrid The Smurfs. Vulture spoke with the actress about delivering lines to jelly molds, dealing with Glee’s twentysomething "teenagers," and what’s up with Emma and Mr. Schue. Can they have sex already?

When I first heard you were in the movie, I assumed you were voicing a Smurf. Did anyone ever tell you that your voice sounds a little like a cartoon character’s? In a good way!
Oh no, but I would absolutely love to get into animation and voice-over work. I feel like that has to be so freeing because you can't be typecast, really; you can do so many different things. It hasn't happened yet, but hopefully it will in the future.

“Glee” has already charted with a dozen albums and EPs, and now they’re set to release their very first live album: the companion soundtrack to their upcoming “Glee” 3D concert film.

“Glee: The 3D Concert Movie” soundtrack features the cast performing some fan favorites and some of their own biggest hits, including the original song “Loser Like Me,” their cover of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” and their version of Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way.”
The Dalton Academy Warblers also appear here, offering up their hit versions of Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” Pink’s “Raise Your Glass,” and Paul McCartney’s “Silly Love Songs.”
Covers of tracks by Britney Spears, the Beatles, Katy Perry, Michael Jackson, Cee Lo Green, and Barbra Streisand are also included. A version of Florence + The Machine’s “Dog Days Are Over” is included as a bonus track, for some reason.
The soundtrack hits stores on Aug. 9, while fans can catch “Glee: The 3D Concert Movie” in theaters beginning Aug. 12 for a limited two-week engagement.
Glee premieres its third season on Fox on Sept. 20.
