On February 21, Viva artist Sean de Guzman details how he handles pressure after winning an award.
At the media conference for Lawa, de Guzman said he focuses on improving his acting skills to handle the feeling of pressure.
“Hindi ko naman iniisip na pressure, pero nararamdaman ko talaga na pressure talaga. Pero, hinahayaan ko lang na ‘yung tao ang makakita ng improvement ng mga ginagawa ko in the past sa lahat ng mga ginagawa kong projects ko. So, goods lang, hindi ko na masyadong iniisp kasi baka mamaya, magpakain ako, so baka hindi ako makapag-perform ng maayos.
“So far naman, iniisip ko na everytime na gagawa ako ng project kailangan mag-improve ng mag-improve talaga. Ayun ‘yung goal ko, ‘yun ‘yung number one goal ko kapag ginagawa ko ‘yung project.”
He insisted that he would want his co-workers to continue treating him the same as before.
“Para sa akin, wala naman, wala naman kasi unang-una kung ano ‘yung pinapakita ko sa mga nakakasama ko, ganon din nila ako paano tratuhin. Ganon ko gusto nila ako tratuhin, na walang mataas, walang mababa, pantay-pantay lang, tropa kaming lahat.”
He then highlighted how much he enjoyed working with the cast of Lawa.
“And, sobrang nag-enjoy talaga ako sa mga kasama ko sa cast ng Lawa, ‘yan sila Josef, sila Thor, lahat-lahat, nag-enjoy talaga kami kasi naka-locked in kami eh sa Zambales, so wala kaming choice kung di maghappy-happy, at mag-aral, at mag-focus doon sa ginagawa namin.”
