How did the indie film scene stumble upon you?
I was planning noon to go to Japan para maging entertainer, pero merong nakakita sa aking talent manager. I think he liked my charisma. Pagkatapos the offers for indie films just came flocking in.

We’re looking at your filmography and this first film, Hada, makes us curious. Is this a gay film?
Sobrang nakatatawa yun. Sana makahanap pa kayo ng copy. In that movie, I worked with Emilio Garcia and Jaclyn Jose. Ang role ko roon ay babaeng bakla at ako ang reyna ng hada! Ha ha!
