MANILA, Philippines — Without batting an eyelash and second thoughts, Liza Soberano immediately answered everyone's hanging question on her quest for a career in Hollywood: What if she fails?
"At least I tried," the 25-year-old actress answered.
Liza was a guest on "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda." Her interview was a two-part special. The first part was aired last Friday, March 10, while the second part was aired yesterday, March 13.
"At least, wala po akong regrets pagtanda ko na hindi ko man lang sinubukan ito. I didn't give my all. I didn't give myself a chance to discover what it is that makes me happy. What it is that I find fulfillment in," she added.
Liza said her recent career change does not mean she was not happy with a 13-year career in the Philippines with ABS-CBN and her love team with real-life boyfriend, Enrique Gil.
"All those years na nakatrabaho ko ang ABS, si Tito Ogie (Diaz, former manager), si Quen (Enrique's nickname), I experienced some of the best things in life because of that. I achieved everything that I had because of that and I left it happy. I left it fulfilled but that doesn't mean I can't want more. It doesn't mean that people don't change and don't want growth and want new experiences," Liza explained.
The actress said she continues to audition and shared that it is tough to get cast for a role because she is competing with a lot of people from other parts of the world.
Liza also shared that she welcomes the change that she is experiencing in Hollywood, where her superstar status in the Philippines does not even mean a thing.
"Mahirap pero gusto ko. I like challenging myself. I love na nandoon ako. Nobody is treating me with privilege. No one cares about the success that I have over here. I like that," she said.
Boy asked Liza to describe herself "when no is watching."
"I'm Hope. I'm actually very sensitive but I'm also a big dreamer. There's a lot that I want for people. I just want the best for everyone. I want to create a good and safe world for everyone, not just for myself, not just for my loved ones but for everyone. Yeah, that's me," the actress said.
