00:00You know, we haven't seen Denise in a long, long time, so I don't know what we're going to talk about, what we're not going to talk about.

00:13But you know, I remember this, and I'll be very, very direct.

00:16I remember when you got pregnant, okay?

00:19When you got pregnant, the people were saying, you're at the peak of your career.

00:22You're here.

00:23You know, and people were saying...

00:26Why do you look like that, Tita Boy? Are you mad at me?

00:29You're still wondering. You're acting up again.

00:31I'm acting up.

00:32That's when I remember, what a waste.

00:35Do you remember that? What a waste.

00:37Our ad together, everybody was like, I'm a waste.

00:41Right.

00:42How did you manage that?

00:44I think, Tita Boy, to be honest, and we talked about this before.

00:47Yes.

00:48I really didn't know that it would be a big deal.

00:50Because I was already 23, and at the same time, I'm a character actress, Tita Boy.

00:55I'm not a princess.

00:57You know, there are some artists that were really bred and taken care of

01:02and are shielded by a lot of things and have a lot of pressure.

01:05I'm a character actress. I can play bida, kontrabida, support.

01:08So, you didn't expect that it would be a big deal.

01:10I didn't think anybody would care, especially since I'm 23.

01:13But a lot of people cared.

01:14It was touching, but also pressuring.

01:16Right.

01:17Because I always want to leave a good...

01:20I want people to have somebody to look up to.

01:23No, I'm talking about it.

01:25I remember your speech about being a single mother.

01:29Yes.

01:30I remember you talk about...

01:31Correct me if I'm wrong.

01:33Why is it a big deal when a woman decides to have a baby outside of marriage?

01:40Yes.

01:41When it is a guy, he becomes a stud.

01:43Yes.

01:44Remember that.

01:45Yes. Oh, my gosh. Twenty...

01:46Right?

01:47Twenty-something.

01:48And until now, that's still so relevant.

01:51Not that I'm promoting becoming a single mother.

01:54No, we're not.

01:55But I just feel like I am totally me.

01:59And whatever happens in my life, I will always own up to it.

02:02I will always step forward and I will always embrace it and be proud of it.

02:06Whether it's apologizing for a mistake or being proud of an achievement

02:11or embracing where my life is at.

02:14So, I also want people to feel that way.

02:16That no matter where you are, no matter what you're doing,

02:19you're always where you're meant to be.

02:22So, you just got to rock it.

02:23Correct.

02:24And whatever choices you make, if you need to apologize, do it.

02:27Step up.

02:28If you don't, don't.

02:29Nobody else is going to live your life except you.

02:32And you don't want to get older and have regrets.

02:34And Uncle Boy, I really wanted to push that we're women.

02:38And it's part of our gift that we get to bring life into this world.

02:41Correct.

02:42I was very excited and I always wanted to be a mom.

02:44So, a lot of the time, single parents are like,

02:46Oh, no. It's going to be hard.

02:48Oh, no. This is too much.

02:50Uncle Boy, it's all about bringing it.

02:52If you think that something is going to be hard, it's going to be heavier.

02:56Correct.

02:57But if you think, I'm excited. This is going to be fun.

03:00This is a blessing.

03:01And that's what it's going to be.

03:16I love you.

03:17I love you.

03:18I love you.

03:19I love you.

03:46I love you.

03:47I love you.

04:16Hey!
