“Galing siya sa isang mahirap na pamilya so even though nandoon siya sa sitwasyon na iyon, she was able to reach out for her dream to be a nurse. Naabot niya 'yun, breadwinner siya sa pamilya so she was sort of the mom and dad sa family, siya 'yung provider. Kaso nga lang na-in love siya,” she said.

“I don’t want to give away too much. I don’t want to expound on my relationships with the two but it’s basically what you would sacrifice for love in general. What I love about Rita the most is her selflessness and her capacity to love. But love is the root of her flaws. What I love about her also is she’s very human, she’s not perfect. She makes decisions out of love. It could be good or bad,” she said.

“Si Gerald is such a gentleman, si JM sakto lang but he’s such a generous actor. Kahit walang camera sa kanya, nagbibigay talaga siya. Grabe si JM. Nagbibigay siya ng emotion sa mata. He’s very truthful to the scene. Kahit wala siyang camera, binibigay niya sa 'yo 'yung emotion, 'yung truth na 'yun. [Si Gerald], I’ve seen his other movies in the past. You’ll see a different Gerald Anderson in this role. Ang lalim.”

“This is very different from all the shows I’ve done because number one, I feel like the show is fully nuanced. Very particular sila in terms of emotions, in terms of the truth of all the characters. The story, ang ganda talaga ng pagkakasulat. Madaming makaka-relate sa kwento namin, maraming mai-inspire. I think that’s what we need now, this kind of story.”
