I'm able to express myself better now. I have come to accept the real me. I have come to love the real me. I now celebrate the real me.
I'm in love with my work
Being a famous singer or an international singer - that's my dream, too, but my main goal is to be a real student and be able to graduate and be a lawyer and have my own business.
Celine Dion is one of my heroes. The first song I learned was "My Heart Will Go On." And we sang "Because You Loved Me" for my mom which was a huge deal for me.
I'm really proud to be Filipino. Filipinos are really supportive, and I want to thank all of them. I love them!
I sang my song called "In This Song." David Foster wrote the song for me. I thought that I should sing a ballad song.
I am more into things like CSI, but then Glee started and I was like, "Oh this is different."
I dont want to stay a singer forever. I want to fulfill my dream career as a lawyer!
When I'm alone in my apartment, I open my Garage Band and just, you know, record these weird imitations of celebrities - Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Michael Jackson; everybody!
I was on Twitter and I saw that I had over 1,000 responses and I was like "OK, something happened," so I opened it and it was like "Charice on Glee!" I didn't get an e-mail from the show so I wasn't tweeting at that time. I just watched my fans tweet. And then after about 30 minutes the show e-mailed me and said congratulations.
I want to have a record with Beyonce or Lady Gaga. They are both my inspirations. Especially Beyonce. She's like number 1 right now because I love everything about her. Her fashion, her style, her attitude when it comes to singing. She's perfect.
I want to be an entertainment lawyer so I'll be in the business still.
I wanted to be a doctor, but my mom was like "It's really hard and it's going to take 10 years, so I was like "OK, I'll just be a lawyer."
