I've known what it's like to survive without a steady job. Growing up in the Philippines, I watched my parents juggle part-time jobs at the corner shop and as tailors, barely able to make ends meet for my three brothers and me.

The Journey guys were so warm and friendly. I'm learning a lot from them.

I try to avoid gaining weight as much as possible because it hinders my performance onstage. Touring demands so much energy.

I have a foundation where it caters to street children and entices them to go back to school. The street is not a good school for them. They need to go to a proper school.

I like to be with my friends and my family, listen to music and read books. Things like that relax me.

Victoria's Secret is like a big family.

A couple of flop plays, a death in the family, and it could all collapse.

Sending a book out into the world is a lot like sending your child to the first day of kindergarten. You hope the other kids play nice and that she makes friends.
