"Kasi 'pag non-showbiz mayroon kayong ibang pag-uusapan hindi lang about taping, about shooting, anong gagamitin mong skincare. Gusto ko talaga may kausap ako na nakaka-stimulate... I've always [been] attracted to smart men," she said in an interview with Karen Davila.

"I want the producers to know that I am more committed to work. I hope that they will invest in a middle-ager.

Make a movie for us to showcase our experience and talent," she stated.
