“Suwerte na lang ako dahil galing ako ng PBB [Pinoy Big Brother]. Wala akong acting experience pero mas maraming magagaling umarte kaysa sa akin. It helped me out.

"Pero kung nag-audition ako dati, baka hindi ako nakuha, kasi wala akong experience.

“But if you think about it, this is the chance for everyone.

"Kasi marami namang magaling na actresses and actors dito sa Pilipinas.

“Pero hindi sila nabibigyan ng pagkakataon to showcase yung talent acting nila.

“I can’t complain, but the ones who are established get the first picks sa mga teleserye…

“Kahit meron mas magaling na umarte na wala pa siyang ginawang project, but he’s better.

“But as I’ve said, I can’t complain.

MISSES SINGING. May isang realization lang si Sam habang nanirahan siya sa Amerika.

Pagtatapat niya, “I actually learned noong nasa States ako, napagtanto ko na na-miss ko talaga yung music.

“Kasi for the longest time, puro acting lang ang ginagawa ko.

“When I was there, I bought a new guitar and nag-enjoy talaga ako sa paggigitara… I’m singing, playing guitar.

“I really miss music.

"Kasi hindi na ako nagsusulat, I’m not playing.”
