“I love children. They’re so much fun and I would have a blast spoiling them.”

I’m becoming more adventurous.

My passion is doing movies, so as long as I keep doing that I will be happy.

My passion is doing movies, and as long as I keep doing that, I’ll be happy. I want to do movies, fun roles and dramatic ones. I love all of it.

I get to go to all these beautiful places, so it’s nice being able to take pictures of it.

I’m not good with catty girls. I’m too laid-back.

I have three closets in my bedroom.

Long-distance relationships are hard no matter what. When you don’t have face-to-face time, it’s just different.

That’s actually how my parents met. They were pen pals. My mom was in the Philippines and my father was in the States, and they wrote to each other. He went out to meet her, and they wed not too long after.

I try to live my life, do what I want, and just let everything else follow along.

Violence has been a part of films since the beginning of time. It’s been a form of entertainment.

My mum and I do cardio kickboxing classes together.

I try not to read the blogs or what people say about me. Because that’s what brings everybody down – no matter what you do, you’re always going to have haters.

I hope by the time I’m 30 to have a husband and maybe a baby.

Being cool is being your own self, not doing something that someone else is telling you to do.

I feel like acting is something I’ve been working towards longer. And it would be great to win a Grammy, of course, but for some reason, an Oscar speaks more to me.

I like someone who’s not afraid to be a kid!

My children and my husband make me smile. My work makes me smile.

I do see myself settling down, getting married and having kids. But when I think about a family life in the future there’s rarely a man involved which is kind of weird.

I love the fact that I have a show where you can run over a kid and everyone busts out laughing.

My children grew up very resourceful and strong in spite of them having to live with different families and that I had to drag them all over the country with me.

I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.

I wonder if we have a lot of sons running around saying, “I want a Dad.” But you won’t abide in anyone.

You hear people say it all the time, how life changes so drastically. But you can’t possibly grasp how beautiful that is until you have your child.

And these children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations. They’re quite aware of what they’re going through.
