 And if you really believe in your heart of hearts that you have the talent, go for it. But you`ve got to make sure you really have the talent. I was watching that TV show, American Idol, and they were showing these auditions. The contestants think in their heart that they`re talented, and the judges would say, `You are appalling. You cannot sing.` And I painfully had to agree. But they really believe that they have something. You need a very objective person to say you`ve got talent. Love your enemies... it`s not always an easy tenet to live by... and I have more often than not been inclined to wish my enemies ill than well.

I`m probably one of the least ambitious people to ever walk the earth. Because I know the price that you have to pay. I know what that feels like at home in the Phillipines. I know what it`s like to go shopping and have people stare at you. To not be able to go places because your safety is threatened. I quite enjoy the anonymity I have here--being recognized for my work but still be able to walk down the street and go shopping and be undisturbed and have my privacy respected. And that`s not always the case at home. I appreciate the level of celebrity I`ve achieved at home, but I`m someone who doesn`t do well with it.
