I also did a lot of boxing training and hand-to-hand combat. I just had to get in the mindset of someone who would want to do that every day!

That's not typically the first thing that comes to mind when you look at me, I don't think. But when I put on that wig – luckily they didn't dye my hair – and change my physicality a lot... Nothing against brunettes – I still felt beautiful. But I felt a lot less inhibited, and I felt down to be a little more brash and powerful and strong. I kind of hid behind all this brown hair, and it gave me the power and confidence to verbally rip this one over here. [Laughs.]"[13] Her portrayal as Clarisse was met with mostly positive reviews.
