Q & A
Why did you enter showbiz?
"Before, to be honest, parang sabi ko ayaw kong mag-artista. 'Baduy yun.' 'Yun na 'yung tingin ko before. 'Ka-lalaking tao umiiyak, matanda na nagpapa-tweetums pa,'--pero tingnan niyo ko ngayon? Kinain ko lahat ng sinabi ko."

What was the toughest challenge you had to face?
"Hindi ko alam e. Marami. Alam mo yung pag-a-adjust lang all the time? Ayun. Sa tingin ko yun yung toughest challenge."

If given the choice, what role would you like to play?
"Mahilig ako sa iba-iba e. Na-try ko na yung 'lovidabs,' gusto ko naman i-try medyo mga weird. Parang tipong may schizophrenia, or bad boy na may twist--na hindi lang siya pure evil or hindi lang siya pure good. Gusto ko yug medyo nasa gray area ako, yung magugustuhan ka ng tao kahit, halimbawa, kontrabida ka [pero] mas magugustuhan ka pa nila sa bida."

What is your biggest frustration? Your biggest regret?
"Wala naman akong regret dahil lahat ng ginawa ko npoopn yun ako ngayon. Kung may mga mali man ako before, yun yung nagdala sa akin ngayon which is maganda naman yung kinalalagyan ko ngayon. So no regrets."

What are you most proud of?
"Sa mga achievements ko, and sa family ko, friends ko and sa career. "

What are your limitations?
"Although na-try ko nang gumawa ng mga gay roles, pero parang hindi ko kaya yun makipaghalikan sa kapwa lalaki [ng] lips to lips. Ayaw ko namang sabihin na forever na, pero sa ngayong talaga hindi. Plus, ayun, siguro yung mga total nudity--hindi pa ako approve doon."

Describe yourself in three words.
"Super awesome. Joke."

What is your most unforgettable experience with a fan?
"Hinila yung bibig ko. Ano yun, parang nag-show kami. Naintindihan ko naman, yung iba hindi ka mahawakan. [E] nahawakan ako sa parang pisngi, sa bibig--tapos nahila. Feeling ang hahaba ng kuko nung humila ng bibig ko. Ayun, the next day, nagkasingaw ako ng malaki sa loob ng cheek."

What are your fears?
"Siguro kinatatakutan ng lahat kamatayan naman kasi. I mean, sa ngayon kasi parang ang dami ko pang gustong gawin. Marami pa akong ma-i-offer sa Earth. Pero alam ko naman sa heaven ako pupunta, so technically hindi naman ako ganun katakot. 'Wag lang muna."

What is your biggest dream?
"Makatrabaho si Bayani [Agbayani] sa isang movie na kaming dalawa [lang]. Parehas kaming pipi, so naka-subtitle ang buong pelikula."
