"I am not getting any younger. I am 30 years old. I think it's about time for me to relieve myself from the group and start doing things on my own. I am very excited because I am teachable, I am trainable and I am 'tweakable' if there's a term. Because, you know, everytime somebody's correcting me or somebody's criticizing me constructively, I love it because I know that that's for me. They want me to be better and I want to be better than yesterday. For me, it's not about the fame, it's not about the fortune. It's about the principle. If one day I become a very, very good performer, fame and fortune will come next. But for now, I want growth," she added.
