"I've just always been that child that spent a lot of time around adults when I was younger...I feel like I am super observant of everything everything around me, and I think that makes me a little wise beyond my years. People say I'm like a 40-year-old in a 17-year-old's body."

"The most rewarding part is the feeling I get when I am performing on stage. Yes, before I go on stage I get nervous, but when I'm on stage it's the most magical, surreal feeling."

"My only way to actually know what I’m feeling is if I take an instrument and just start splatting out words. It’s so random. It’s very much like my subconscious speaks; otherwise I have no idea what I’m really thinking and I’m like, ‘what is going on in my brain right now.’"

"Since I was 13 years old, I've been writing songs about how I feel and mental health. So many of my songs are genuinely just my diary entries."

"Pain was my teacher and healing is my revolution."

"I think everyone has their own time. Iba talaga sa showbiz, mabilis yung takbo ng buhay - It's really different in showbiz, life moves fast. It's hard to say but I think, for me, she (Zsa Zsa) waited long enough to be happy."

"Dreams come true if you fight hard enough for them."

"When I was 9 years old, I was bullied by the color of my skin, how I looked different compared to the other people. In my school kasi dati, everyone was like white-skinned. But I'm thankful for those scars. I wouldn't be who I am right now if it wasn't for it."

"I wasn’t affected. I just hope I can help them change their perspective about change."

"They asked me to do Grande Fratello [Big Brother] in all editions. But I like staying at home, I don't like socializing, being cooped up doesn't scare me. In the end, I'm not even afraid of living with others. However, my image, my relationship with my image, is not straightforward, so being filmed 24 hours a day... Perhaps, though, in the end it would be a form of shock therapy: that's how it was with flying, after all, I got over it by flying."

"[About the wedding that never took place with Al Bano] There has been a lot of talk about it, but in reality, I never asked for it. Only at one point, about ten years ago, was it considered. Al Bano was planning his life and asked me, then it all fell through, but it wasn't a big deal. Of course, I would have liked it, marriage was part of my life plans, that's how I thought my life would be, I had the example of my family, not because other families aren't good, far from it... And then my horizons broadened, but nothing has changed."

"I don’t consider it utang na loob (debt of gratitude). I don’t feel like it’s my obligation to take care of my parents now that they’re older just because they raised me and paid for my education. This is not so different from your relationship to your husband or wife. In marriage, you signed a contract and made your vows to be with each other no matter what. To me, these are just promises, and you have a choice not to keep them. However, if you decide to keep them, it’s because of love. You are shown love, and so you love back."

"I just want to change the narrative or convince them that there is nothing wrong. It’s totally fine."

"I really want to go back home. That's where I was born."

"I just have to let the world know how grateful I am."

"My inspiration for this song is the people who destroyed me, the people who broke my heart."

"Healing taught me that rest is not weakness, listening to your body is not laziness, and choosing yourself is not selfish."

"When you get DepEd to endorse this as an ‘educational’ film, the perception is that it will be (at the very least) slightly historical. When you add layers of ‘fiction’ and ‘satire’ then purposefully BLUR those lines with your creative treatment, then you are weaponizing history according to your narrative for sales."

"It’s a masterclass on converting public humiliation [whether your fault or not] into public respect and admiration."

"I want to represent women who balance ambition with real-life challenges, who continue growing no matter what life puts on their shoulders."

"Life is a marathon, not a sprint."

"It's accumulation of your little choices that were hurting God and hurting yourself in the process."

"The pain & shame of a mistake can be the first step towards the best & wisest version of yourself."

"How you handled your adversity amidst an unforgiving public and turned them into admirers is worth noting."

"I’ve let go of the perception that the younger you are, you’re more valuable and you’ll have a fresh perspective to offer the world. It is our responsibility as the more mature ones: to teach the younger ones so that they don’t make the same mistakes that we did."

"There’s really a process, and don’t be too hard on yourself, Remember, you are not alone and there is always a way out."

"I have this passion to help women heal, get over bitterness, find accountability."

"Growing older, there’s also value in that as well. Older women have a responsibility to teach the younger women on what mistakes they can avoid so that each generation, we become better and better."

"What was once anxiety in my heart due to more advanced age, and earnest prayers to naturally conceive despite multiple health conditions and against doctor’s prognosis, has now become the most pleasant surprise of our lives."

"You shouldn’t be scared or worry too much about pleasing everyone. Sometimes, you wonder about the applause after your performance. As long as you give your best, that’s all that matters."

"Musical theater and stage plays will always have a special spot in my heart. I’m open to joining new theater productions anytime."
