A biography for Bretman Rockhasn’t been written yet.
“Even though my dad came from a family that was very religious, he was actually the first one who bought and let me play with Barbies. My mom, the first makeup I ever used was hers, and she never once said, 'Oh, you're so gay for doing that.'”
“My favorite TikTok of my own would have to be the video of me drinking coconut water without closing my mouth - that trend was really fun to do because it was a hidden talent that I did well.”
“It's crazy to me that we call it a beauty industry when it's not beautiful at all.”
“To be honest, I kind of skipped over watching cartoons, and reality TV shows raised me. Literally, in fifth grade I ran home from school and watched 'Jersey Shore' every Thursday, girl.”
“Hawaii is a melting pot of people and my school specifically has a lot of diversity that personally inspires me in everything I do.”
“I hate when I'm alone and I hate being inside my own head.”
“I really don't think there's anything in my life right now or any accomplishments that I have that I didn't manifest.”
“I usually wait for opportunities and act on them if I like them or I like to really think through any new ideas I have.”
“Now that I'm older and wiser, and I know what that word means and what it possesses... I'm like, 'Yes, I am a mahu and you should look up to me!'”
“I don't read Internet comments because I have other things to do, like walk my dog. And I don't really like reading, so if you're going to hate on me, send me a video. I don't have time to read a whole novel about how I'm going to hell.”
“Growing up in the Philippines, I wanted to be so much like my dad. He taught me simple survival stuff.”
“We were basically camping my whole childhood because we were so poor.”
“I started Instagramming and YouTubeing without the knowledge that I could make this as a career one day.”
“To be honest with you, I just loved making videos.”
“I wake up when the time is double digits - 10, 11, 12 - and I make myself a cup of coffee and think about what I'm gonna do that day. Either I'm gonna set my house on fire or I'm gonna take pictures. I'm random.”
“To be honest with you, my mom never really wore makeup when I was growing up. She wasn't really my makeup muse. It was my grandma. The biggest thing that she taught me is that it doesn't matter how your makeup comes out, it's really just how you wear it. If you carry it like you killed your makeup, then that's all that matters.”
“I put so much online, and my heart is the only thing I don't wanna - my heart, I need to myself.”
“I will wear a woman's dress and a man's pant with it.”
“Beauty will always be a part of Bretman Rock.”
“I don't think people experiment enough with clothing because society tries to tell them what they can and can't wear. I love playing around with different aesthetics and/or mixing around aesthetics to create a totally new look.”
