When I go onstage, I kind of turn into a beast sometimes, this alter-ego, you know.

I was a very quiet, shy child. I grew up in a small town, Louisville, Kentucky, and there weren't too many Hawaiian-Filipino girls, so I stuck out like a sore thumb. I didn't look like everyone else and didn't feel I belonged... But these things only build character and make you stronger. It taught me to grow into the woman I was to become.

I see lots of women having beautiful children later in life. And, if not, just freeze your eggs!

Girl power is about loving yourself and having confidence and strength from within, so even if you're not wearing a sexy outfit, you feel sexy. That sexy stuff just happened to be part of our wardrobe, and its fun. Not all of our wardrobe is like that, but it is part of the performance and the show. It takes a woman who knows herself to be able to work an outfit like that.

I love the studio. It's my place to escape and to create and to try anything.

I've always had a fighter's spark in me. I was born with it. I think it's in my blood.
