00:00because that's the number one killer of creativity.
00:03Fear.
00:08Well, when the concept was pitched,
00:11I was so excited right away,
00:13on the get-go,
00:15because it's very fitting in this day and age
00:19that a lot is happening.
00:21Sociopolitical issues,
00:23social issues,
00:24there's poverty,
00:25and if people follow me on SofMed,
00:28they know that I'm open to all kinds of things.
00:30I have a lot of opinions,
00:32especially for mothers like me
00:34who are affected by life as a mother,
00:36life as a family.
00:37I want this show to showcase
00:40not only our talent in making people laugh,
00:42but we also have something between our ears, right?
00:45We also have an opinion on what's happening.
00:48But we are going to package it in an entertaining way
00:51so that the viewers of YouLol
00:54can be very engaged.
00:55And hopefully,
00:57aside from making you laugh,
00:58you'll also learn something from watching.
01:00I actually posted this like some months back,
01:03that every artist should have that element of risk.
01:08We should be at the forefront.
01:11So, we should use our platform
01:15in ways that we can influence people positively.
01:18I think I was given this talent
01:20so that I can use it in a way
01:22that I haven't used before.
01:25So, if I shy away from the challenge
01:28or if I'm afraid because of that notion
01:30that I might get cancelled
01:32or that other people might say something,
01:34it means that I didn't use my talent properly
01:36or that I didn't think about what I was going to say.
01:39And I'm not that kind of person.
01:40I'm always careful with my decisions,
01:43even the words I use.
01:44Sometimes, there are people who make us feel helpless
01:47and say that we're risqué.
01:49But I think if there are no commentators
01:52who push boundaries all the time,
01:54the industry will stagnate.
01:56So, I think if there are kids
01:59who are emerging entertainers,
02:00not just comedians,
02:01even singers during their spiels,
02:03they can actually use that as an opportunity
02:07to influence the audience.
02:10I think we should always push.
02:12We should always challenge the edges
02:15of what's right, what's wrong.
02:16Because an artist should be at the pinnacle of questioning
02:21what is right and wrong.
02:23Because in truth, it's subjective.
02:25And we're the ones who form it,
02:27the ones in the arcs.
02:29We're the ones who create the reality
02:31that people see.
02:33So, it's a heavy responsibility,
02:35but it shouldn't deter us
02:37from creating great material, great concepts.
02:40Because that's the number one killer of creativity.
02:43Fear.
02:53Fear.
