"You know, I find it amusing when people say they're scared of me," she told us. "When I hear the magic word 'fear,' I don't like it. I say, 'Don't do that, because I don't bite. I know that feeling. I know how it is to be scared of more established costars because that's where I started."

"“I’ve learned my lesson— until the artist comes to me seeking help or advice, I leave them alone. I can’t give them what they want if they don’t ask for it. Something like that happened before [that didn’t go so well], so I don’t want to anymore."

"So, now, I just wait and see. Not all of them are willing to learn. Some of them just feel like, 'Ah so this is buhay-artista!' Sometimes, they're just being cute or tripping."

"I want to act in more films—even those with similar themes, but better realized. I want to do action—not the usual stuff you see onscreen because I’m a woman, not a stuntman. I want to play an assassin!"
