00:00 Maybe I am less afraid now to decide on certain things, to try out new things.
00:07 It's okay to try and fail rather than never trying at all.
00:26 At what age did you suddenly realize that, "Oh, I can already afford this without looking at the price?"
00:35 I really can't... I really can save money.
00:44 I'll repeat that.
00:50 Maybe my childhood dream was Esprit.
00:56 Ever since I was fond of clothes, I was fond of wearing clothes.
01:02 So, Esprit.
01:04 I only had a small budget, Esprit.
01:07 Benetton, that was my favorite. I was happy with that.
01:11 Other than that, I didn't really want to buy anything.
01:15 Because for me, it's not that I was conscious about saving.
01:20 Maybe I was subconsciously saving, but I wasn't really saving myself.
01:24 I always say I'm "koripot". I keep saying it.
01:27 But I think the better term for that is, I'm very practical.
01:32 In other words, when I have to spend, I will spend.
01:36 When I like something, I will spend.
01:38 When it's for my kids, I'll spend.
01:41 When it's for my family, I'll spend.
01:44 But when it comes to me, I'm okay with that.
01:47 I'm happy with that.
01:50 Because at the end of the day, I have a lot of things that I don't need anymore.
01:58 Sometimes, for example, I like brand names.
02:02 I convince myself 20 million times that I need...
02:06 I can't sleep. I can't sleep.
02:09 Do I think about that bag?
02:11 Normally, I can sleep.
02:14 In other words, it's a sign that I don't need it.
02:18 The next day, I still think that I need to buy it because I can't forget it.
02:24 But sure enough, once I purchase it, I regret it for a week.
02:31 "Why? It's just a bag."
02:33 "What? You know that?"
02:35 So there's a regret factor.
02:37 So now, I'll say, "I have a lot of bags. I'll just put it here."
02:41 And then, this is what I'm telling myself right now.
02:45 I don't have a daughter.
02:48 So, you know what?
02:53 I'm saving more.
02:55 Anyway, that's all.
02:59 I think I was just very subconscious about saving, saving, saving, saving.
03:04 And thank God, I was.
03:06 Because I benefited from it.
03:09 It really helped me as I, of course, was growing up and maturing.
03:15 Just curious, the savings, is it a percentage?
03:18 Like a fixed percentage?
03:20 I don't count it like that.
03:23 Like I said, if I need something, I'll buy it.
03:26 But I just have to know that I need to recover.
03:29 Oh my God, I need to work.
03:33 I'm pressuring myself.
03:35 I need to work again.
03:37 You know what I mean?
03:38 But that's just it.
03:39 It's just that whole process.
03:41 Because I also grew up here in Showbiz.
03:44 I said, this is different from regular business or whatever.
03:49 Here, sometimes, there's a lot of work, right?
03:54 Sometimes, there's no work.
03:56 What if there's no work?
03:58 You can't do anything.
03:59 It's really seasonal.
04:00 There was a time I would get so depressed.
04:02 I would say, "Why don't I have a concert?"
04:04 "Why didn't anyone come to my concerts when I was young?"
04:07 So I would panic.
04:09 So that's why I learned how to produce.
04:13 I said, "Oh, I can do other things aside from just being in front of the camera."
04:17 "I can also do things behind the camera."
04:20 "I can put up small businesses."
04:23 Some work, some don't.
04:25 It's always a learning process.
04:27 What I realized is that maybe I am less afraid now to decide on certain things, to try out new things.
04:39 What I'm saying is true.
04:42 It's okay to try and fail rather than never trying at all.
04:47 Right?
04:48 And when it doesn't work out, that's the time you learn.
04:52 "Oh, I did that. It won't work for me."
04:56 So at least I know that I'm not afraid anymore.
05:00 I'm more adventurous with my decisions.
05:04 TV work.
05:05 Do you have plans of--
05:07 You had series before, you had variety shows.
05:11 It's different now, right?
05:14 Well, I just finished a season of For the Love that was on TV5.
05:20 Hopefully, there's another season for that.
05:23 Is that what you're saying about TV series?
05:27 As long as there's no "puyat," is that okay?
05:31 But why not?
05:33 If I feel the project, I can do justice with the role, the character.
05:40 Because now, everyone's so good.
05:42 When I watch it, I'm like, "This is so good."
05:46 If I feel I can do it, then it's okay. Why not?
05:49 And there's no "puyat."
05:53 I'm spoiled.
05:55 There's a cutoff.
05:57 What's still about Martin?
05:59 This is still about Martin.
06:01 Do you get bothered when they ask you about him?
06:04 Here it is.
