First of all, mahirap sa aming mga kababaihan dahil may mga hormones kaming shyet. We have to deal with those things, and it changes our voices, it changes our appearnace. Andg dami-dami naming kailangang harapin. Pero sa industriyang ito, mahirap pag tumatanda ka na sa industry. Nakikita mo na nagbabago na ang lahat, yung dating ikaw yung sinisigawan, ikaw yung nagkakaroon ng hits, mararamdaman mo yung unti-unti na hindi na ikaw. But for me, it's fine. Parati pag may nagtatanong sa akin kung ano yung iiwan kong legacy sa industriyang ito. Parang feeling ko wala. Meron ba?"
