In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Glee star Dot-Marie Jones was overcome with emotion as she discussed the passing of her co-star and friend Cory Monteith. The actor was found dead in his Vancouver hotel room on July 13th as a result of an accidental drug overdose.

"I love him and I still do. That will never go away," said Jones, choking back tears. "I don't have [one] fond memory because every memory is fantastic." She added, "You hold in your heart the good things." Watch the interview below.

Yesterday, the actress received her third consecutive Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Coach Beiste on the FOX musical drama. "This is my 23rd year acting," she commented on the honor. "And to be nominated the last three seasons on Glee says a lot about the writing and their trust in me, and I just couldn't be happier."

While Jones will not be a series regular on the upcoming fifth season, she is expected to make cameo appearances.
