Asked if she ever went through a rebellious stage in her career, the multi-awarded actress revealed that she would sometimes get mad on the set but within reason. “<i>May mga</i> moments <i>na nakakapagtaray ako paminsan sa </i>set<i> pero</i> that’s out of<i> pagod,</i> out of frustration at <i>saka kapag punong-puno na ako dahil paulit-ulit yung nangyayari. Pero kung </i>patience <i>ang pag-uusapan, ang </i>patience<i> ko</i> day <i>pwede mo papuntahin hanggang </i>America<i> pabalik. Ganon kahaba ang pasensya ko,</i>” she told <a href='http://www.Push.com.ph'>Push.com.ph</a>.</div><div><br/></div><div>Judy Ann further shared that she doesn’t easily flare up and is more solution-oriented when it comes to dealing with annoying situations. In fact, she believes that it’s important to maintain good working relationships not only with the network bosses and fellow stars but with the utility personnel on the set of her every project. “<i>Hindi ako maapektong tao. Hindi ako apektado sa mga nangyayari sa akin. Palagi ko naiisip na kapag may nangyaring insidente, may dahilan ‘yan, may isang taong pinagmulan ‘yan</i>, so <i>hindi ko na babalikan ‘yan. Hindi na ako magpapaka-stress kung hindi rin lang naman ako</i> involved <i>sa</i> issue <i>na ‘yan. Hanapan natin ng paraan. Solusyon agad, ‘wag na tayo maglaro sa isyu kasi walang mangyayari, hindi naman tayo kikita dyan</i>,” she added.</div><div><br/></div><div>To this day, she’s filled with mixed emotions whenever people dub her as the country’s Teleserye Queen. “<i>Hindi ko tatanggalin yung pakiramdam na naflaflatter ako. Pero paminsan iisipin mo,</i> ‘Deserve <i>ko ba talaga ito? Hindi ba parang </i>OA <i>ba ito?</i>’ <i>Hindi mo maiwasan makapagisip ng ganon kasi may mga taong magbibigay ng</i> negative <i>na</i> comment<i> tungkol sa pagiging</i> Teleserye Queen <i>mo. Hindi naman ako ang nagbigay nito sa sarili ko, pero</i> I’m flattered. Thankful<i> ako na</i> for the longest time<i> nandyan pa rin ang </i>ABS-CBN to protect me and give me very good projects.<i> Ang magiging balik ko talaga ay mabigyan sila ng magandang trabaho</i>.”</div><div><br/></div><div>Thanks to her <i>Mara Clara</i> days, Judy Ann said that it really paved the way for her to establish herself as a dramatic actress. “<i>Lahat ng ‘yan nagsimula sa Mara Clara. Siguro yun ang pinakahuling teleserye na umabot ng limang taon. Yun ang pinaka-tumatak sa mga tao kasi nainis na sila sa </i>diary. So<i> kasama kami sa inis nila. Parang nasama sina Mara at Clara. </i>From there, <i>dahil siguro lumaki ako sa harap ng tao</i> for five years, after that <i>tuloy-tuloy ang teleserye ibinigay ng </i>ABS-CBN <i>kaya nabansagan akong teleserye</i> actress. <i>Dun talaga ako nagsimula. Dito ako nahasa at minahal ng tao. Parte na ng sistema ko ang pagiging artista</i> and it will always be a part of me.”</div>
