"Tinanong ako ni Tita Malou Santos nung Friday, 'Kris, do you want to do a drama next year?' Sabi ko 'Tita Malou at my core I am a mother,'" she said during the press conference of her horror film "Feng Shui," which is an official entry to this year's Metro Manila Film Festival.
"So kung 'yung role is to be the mom of KathNiel (Kathryn Bernardo and Daniel Padilla), to be the mom of Enrique (Gil) or to be the mom of Kim Chiu, I would love to do it. Pero kung ilalayo mo ako sa kung ano ako talaga at my core, I don't think I would be effective," added Aquino, who is turning 44 next February.
Aquino has been very vocal about how she's a proud stage mom to son, James "Bimby" Yap Jr., who has finished his second movie "The Amazing Praybeyt Bejamin" with Vice Ganda.
"Totooo talaga umaamin ako na stage mother ako. Sa shooting days niya, tatlo lang ang na-miss kong araw because those days nagshu-shoot ako at today nandito ako. As much as possible inaayos nila ang schedule na I could be there. So yes, I'm really am a stage mother and yes nakialam talaga ako," Aquino said.
Can't ask for more
Meanwhile, Aquino, who is often described as having everything in life, admitted that she can't ask for more -- including her love life.
"Hindi naman pwedeng maibigay ang lahat sa iyo ng sabay-sabay. So alam niyo naman lahat kung ano ang kulay sa buhay ko." Obvious naman, hindi ko naman kailangang ipagsigawan 'yan ngayon," she said, referring to her string of romantic disappointments.
Aquino was last linked to Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista but that romance proved to be short-lived.
"Pero kung hindi talaga panahon ngayon siguro darating 'yung time na hindi na ganito 'yung trabaho ko baka pwede na doon na ang panahon ng pag-ibig," she added.
Pressed if she found a new love, Aquino replied: "Wala. Nagshu-shooting pa ako tapusin ko muna siya. Wala akong sini-set aside, sinasabi ko lang siguro kapag hindi ko na kailangang mag-press conference."
