Aired (June 9, 2024): “This is not her job, this is her life. So inevitably, it became mine too.” -Andi Eigenmann
Dahil laging isinasama noon si Andi Eigenmann ng kanyang ina sa mga set, tila lumaki at nasanay na daw siya sa ganoong aktibidad. Ito rin daw ang nag-udyok sa kanya noon na subukan ang pagiging artista.

00:00 Andy, the happiest memories you have of your mother?
00:06 Wow, you know, there's countless, countless memories.
00:09 First memories that come to mind.
00:11 First memories.
00:12 My earliest memory since I was a kid,
00:15 it always happened during a shooting or a set.
00:19 You know, I have most of my fondest memories,
00:21 my greatest memories from being a kid is when my mom would bring me along to her tapings or shootings.
00:28 Especially when I was out of town.
00:30 When I was near, I was just with my aunt.
00:33 But when I was out of town, I didn't miss a single shooting or taping.
00:36 She would really beat me up wherever she went.
00:39 I would bring Andy along when he was little because I didn't want to leave him.
00:45 Because I didn't have a choice.
00:47 But I raised Andy and Gwen as much as I could.
00:53 When I was inside the house, they would only see Jane as mom.
00:57 Actually, safe to say, I grew up, right?
01:00 I grew up on set.
01:02 Right.
01:04 I was just there, being carried around, being carried around.
01:08 That's where I lived.
01:11 And that's why I feel like I find a weird, different sense of comfort.
01:17 Now that I'm here again, right?
01:19 In one set.
01:20 Did you look forward to going to the set with mom?
01:23 I did, I did.
01:24 I feel like going to the set with my mom growing up was also what made me want to try to get into acting as well.
01:32 Okay.
01:33 As a younger.
01:34 So, when you started to work as an actor, you didn't change on set, right?
01:38 Because you're already familiar.
01:39 Yes.
01:40 A lot of people say that when I meet them, "You're shy, why don't you?"
01:46 Yes.
01:47 I'm shy, but when I'm in front of the camera, it's not something new to me, I guess.
01:53 So, it's not something for me to be, feel uneasy, right?
01:58 My mom, this is not her job, this was her life.
02:02 So, inevitably, it became mine too.
02:07 I always hear that from you.
02:10 That being an actor is not my mom's job, it's her life.
02:18 So, you got into that point in life where you also considered your work as life.
02:24 You went there too, right?
02:26 Yeah, and I feel like that's why I don't expect people to understand me.
02:31 But I feel like that's why it became more complicated.
02:34 For me, this came to a point where I needed to make a decision if I can still do it,
02:41 if I still want to continue this, or maybe it's time to look for another journey that's also right for me.
