In a 2023 interview with the Inquirer, the actress reflected on what she considers one of the most rewarding aspects of being an actor.
"When you take on a role, you embark on a new adventure. You go on an exciting journey with your character. We just hope and pray that after the work is complete, our viewers will see that. I think that’s the beauty of being an actor; you become someone you’re not," she remarked.
