<P> Quinn is described by Agron as Rachel Berry's (Lea Michele) enemy, and "terrible, the meanest girl". Agron said that her favorite part of Quinn is that "she's smart . But she's also human, and through her tough exterior, she's often a little girl lost ." Interviewmagazine. com's Lauren Waterman has described her as being "lovable, but occasionally a manipulative deposed queen bee ." Agron commented: "Yes, there is a stereotype with these characters and it wouldn't be fair if (those stereotypes) didn't exist a little bit . But (co-creator) Ryan Murphy has a way of taking everything and turning it upside down . That's the great thing about this show and these characters: nobody is one note, which is amazing ." Quinn was originally conceived as the antagonistic queen bee head cheerleader, a departure from Agron's actual high school experience . Agron said in an interview with HitFix: "I definitely wasn't cool in high school . I really wasn't . I did belong to many of the clubs and was in leadership on yearbook and did the musical theater route, so I had friends in all areas, but I certainly did not know what to wear, did not know how to do my hair, all those things ." She added: "I think that it shows that regardless of who you are and what group you belong to, that there are so many emotions behind each person in high school . Sometimes with teens, writers or directors, anybody, short - changes them and makes them be simple, simple individuals, you're either the jock or the popular kid or the nerd . They don't show those shades . Everybody has those shades to them . This show, it really expands upon vulnerability and excitement and anger all the experiences that you probably actually go through in high school ." </P> <P> Quinn's role as head cheerleader is central to understanding her character . Agron said that she had never had any prior cheer experience before the Pilot . "If I had been (a cheerleader), I would've ended up on crutches," she told Emmy magazine . In an interview with HitFix she said, "I have new respect for the craft, because I slightly hurt myself during the pilot, coming down from one of the stunts . It's better now . I didn't tear something in my knee, but I strained it . Knees are very sensitive, I've learned . It's crazy, because I've been dancing since I was three on my toes and all these things . And you should never say this, but I've never injured myself ever . I'd seen gnarly injuries with dance and all these things . You shouldn't say that, though, because every day is an opportunity to fall, hurt yourself, so that was my experience ." </P> <P> Quinn has received positive reviews from critics . The role saw Agron nominated for the Teen Choice Award for "Female Breakout Star" in 2009 . She and the other cast members were awarded the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 2010, and nominated in the same category the following year . </P> <P> The character's accidental pregnancy storyline received mixed reviews from critics . Tim Stack for Entertainment Weekly deemed it "a good dramatic twist", but hoped that it would not be a long - lasting storyline . Reviews of her storyline became increasingly negative, though Agron was praised for her dramatic acting during the confrontation scene with Quinn's parents in "Ballad". Gerrick D. Kennedy, writing for the Los Angeles Times, was critical of the ongoing pregnancy plot in the episode "Hairography", and noted that he cringed whenever Quinn appeared on screen . Conversely, Bobby Hankinson of the Houston Chronicle enjoyed Quinn in the episode, and wrote: "I love that she can keep her Mean Girls edge while being heartbreakingly sad or as joyful as she was singing "Papa Don't Preach". Reviewing the episode "Journey to Regionals", Entertainment Weekly's Darren Franich called Quinn's birthing scenes--interspersed with Vocal Adrenaline performing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"--both "brilliant" and "terrible". He wrote, "If nothing else, it was definitely the most visually arresting way to represent the birthing process I've ever seen outside of The Miracle of Life . But I kind of liked it . Somewhere, Freddie Mercury is nodding proudly, and saying,' World, I forgive you for We Will Rock You ."' </P>
