How would you rate Pinoy car show junkies? Do they ogle you as much as Americans do?
Well, of course! Ha ha! Here in the Philippines everyone’s, like, in awe, because they’ve never really seen what the US can bring over here. So it’s very different. Unlike being in LA where everyone’s so used to the car scene—dub shows, hot import nights…

Were they more, well, flirtatious?
You know what? They’re very shy. I guess I intimidate them, maybe because of the way I look. I mean, you don’t really know if I’m Asian or something else.

Do you ever get tired of being told you’re hot?
Of course not, ha ha! Not at all.
