Whether you improvise on film or TV or anywhere, if you’re very specific in what you say, there’s going to be a response. Also, always start with ‘you’: ‘You’ve had too much to drink.’ ‘You’re a flirt.’ Give the other person a gift.” – Angela’s advice on improv

“I just can’t imagine working on anything as great as The Office, so if this is what work on a TV show can be like, then sign me up. It’s just such an amazing experience.

Doing movies is a lot of fun and I hope to do more film and I hope that I can be a character actress for a long time.”
