"I wanted to play her as a smart mean girl, not a ditzy annoying mean girl. I wanted her to be smart and manipulative because that’s far more scary. I didn’t really study the first movie for this role just because my character is very different from [
Lindsay Lohan's]. Jo is like a tough tomboy kind of badass girl and that’s not really Lindsay’s character…it’s ironic that I was probably using more of
Mean Girls for
Camp Rock than
Mean Girls 2!
