“I want to share with you a story of a girl who once believed she was not enough. Who grew up thinking that the only way she would be enough was to be this perfect creature.

“It’s very hard to unlearn the negative self talk. Part of it is judging your body. It’s very hard to unlearn that (while) skinny is beautiful, so is an average body, or having folds, or having imperfections. I realized that it was easier for me to transform my body than it was to transform my mind. Because until now ang hirap pa rin. I’m still on that path and... maybe I’m just 50 percent there.”

“I can’t be so selfish that I’m doing it for myself. I am doing it for the audience, to a certain degree, this is for them but I have to feel it as well. And yes, it can be frustrating at times when you have a different vision of how things will go and then the director has a different take on it. Ideally, we meet half way but you have to trust also. They have a vision and you may not always see eye-to-eye but you have to give them that respect.”

“I think so much of what you care about has to do with feminism, but not radical feminism, which is what so many people associate the term with. It’s a stereotype that should be corrected, and you do a great job of showing that women’s experience in the world is colored by a lot of policing. People are always telling us we should be less of ourselves, or more, that it’s impossible to keep up. You do a great job of balancing all these expectations and being your true self. It’s inspiring. It’s very central to who you are.”

“You know how it is, as you’ve grown up with such a spotlight on you. Everyone has their own idea of perfect and wants you so badly to fit into their own definition of perfection. People forget we have a right to be whoever we want to be in the way we see fit.”

“So basically, a lot of judgement comes from self-loathing. When you’re judging others, perhaps it’s because you judge yourself a lot. That’s something we definitely need to address. It’s a lightbulb moment, really, when you realize these things about appearance. But it takes time, and it’s okay if you’re not there yet. Catch yourself when you have your moments and know that you’re going to bounce back.”
Iza Calzado (born 1982) wikiquote, CC BY-SA 4.0 source
“You can dream. Hakuna matata, it means don’t worry. When you are young, you worry about the most minute things in life that you think everybody cares about and will judge you about. But no, everybody is busy doing their own thing. No worries. As long as you put in the work, including the inner work, you’ll be good.”

“Because before, restless. ‘Yun pala, ‘Ikaw lang pala ‘yung kailangan ko. Na kung saan-saan ko hinahanap, may it be material things and other things na don’t really serve my highest purpose here on earth.’ Nandu’n lang pala. Takot na takot kasi ako talaga dati.”
