Ch-ch-check out the full clip (above)!!

But if you Gleeks are all too eager, keep reading for the scoop…AFTER THE JUMP!!!

On playing Santana for a fifth year:

├óΓé¼┼ôIt├óΓé¼Γäós been so cool… I├óΓé¼Γäóve been able to consistently play a character. When I go to work, I feel that I├óΓé¼Γäóm living Santana. I think that├óΓé¼Γäós one of the reasons why I love television so much.├óΓé¼┬¥

On what to expect on Season 5:

”She started off as just being super rude to everybody, then she came out and she was super sad. Now she’s liberated again and has moved to New York. I think in Season 5 we’ll get to see more of her growing up and exploring different things.”

On Glee’s casting cuts:

├óΓé¼┼ôI don├óΓé¼Γäót think it├óΓé¼Γäós going to be that big of a chance because our storylines were so spread out last season. It was really third season when we knew we weren├óΓé¼Γäót all going to be together anymore, so we mourned that than. I think it├óΓé¼Γäós bittersweet still… We are all adults so it├óΓé¼Γäós really nice to see everyone branch out.├óΓé¼┬¥

On Heather Morris’ baby-to-come:

”She’s so cute. She just looks adorable. She just looks the same, except someone stuck a huge belly on her. Everywhere else, you’re like, ‘You’re not pregnant.’”

On the possibility of Naya joining the American Horror Story cast, following the filming of her thriller:

“I know! I keep asking…! It would be so cool! You’d just move onto another Ryan Murphy show!”

Fingers crossed!!
