The one thing I can`t stand is: Working with a ”diva,” someone who acts like a big star, even though she`s not.
The worst time of my life: My 15th birthday. I was having a big party, and the Filipino People`s Revolution broke out that night and things started getting crazy. I thought, ”Why me?”
If I weren`t an actress: I`d be a senior in college, studying pre-med.
Major accomplishment: Winning the Tony award this year for Best Actress in a Musical.
My most humbling experience: Forgetting my lines on stage. I just try to ad-lib and tell myself that I`m human.
Three words that best describe me: Open, serious and disciplined.
