“If it's needed, yes. So far in my career I don't think na may naka-kissing scene na ako. So this would be a good challenge and experience for me.

“Sa independent mas carefree, may chance na mas maging free ka. Hindi ka natatakot na kahit na ano ang gawin mo. Kapag masaya ka, masaya ka. Out of the box ka talaga. At kahit in the box ka, puwede kang tumawid sa labas na hindi ka nabibigyan ng stigma na ganun ka lang,” she said.
