“I love finding things that scare me and doing them. That’s how you grow.”

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.

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

My heart is closer to acting than singing. It’s always been that way.

Writing is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11.

Being a star just means that you just find your own special place, and that you shine where you are.

You don’t find love, it finds you. It’s got a little bit to do with destiny, fate, and what’s written in the stars.

Even in our deepest struggles, love, faith and beauty find a way. ⁣

Before you reject an idea, find at least five good things about it.

The mark of an innovative company is not only that it comes up with new ideas first, but also that it knows how to leapfrog when it finds itself behind.

If I succeed in putting some warmth and love into the work, then it will find friends.

A good job isn’t something you go out and find, it’s something you discover while you’re working.
