Angela: (on leaving "Shortland Street") It was really difficult, like leaving home, leaving all the people, and it was all I knew.
(edit)
Angela: (on her roles for "Hercules" and "Young Hercules") How could you go wrong? It's like being a little kid, being able to overact as much as you want. And it seems to work ... nothing's real, it's all crazy. So you just go for it.
(edit)
Angela: Shortland Street gave me everything. It has set me up as far as handling things and the way I look at myself, what I want out of my life, the projects I want to do. Because it gave me a taste of everything - comedy, drama, everything you could imagine.

Angela: What I've learned is that you've got to have huge goals. Think big, I reckon. That's my new motto. Think big, never sell yourself short in your life. I'd like to do a bit of everything- I just feel like life's a bit of a smorgasbord at the moment.
(edit)
Angela: (on switching from "Shortland Street" to "Young Hercules") I've really missed my crying scenes. You have to get really intimate with a character when you've got to go through those things and I haven't had the chance to do that for a while.
