Quotable quotes: Who said what at Star Awards 2016 (Show 1)
ZOE TAY (on her bling): “It’s my first time wearing something so expensive. The stylist specially helped me to find these earrings from Van Cleef & Arpels that cost S$1 million because it was only won by royalty before, so it’s very unique. The ring also costs more than S$300,000. I need to be very careful – I can’t just walk anywhere.”

PAIGE CHUA: “(This dress) is not garang. It’s feminine, quite womanly, so I just have to be less chor lor (uncouth) later.”
TAY PING HUI: “I decided that this year, I’m going to be a little bit adventurous. As you can see with my watch, there’s a lot of bling. I decided to be a maverick, what you see on surface is this subdued, normal traditional guy, but … really, inside I’m actually quite blingy and I’m quite colourful. I’m an interesting guy - I just destroyed my career, right?”
ROMEO TAN (on his ‘safe’ outfit): “When I was still a newbie I tried out something funky and I ended up getting (slammed) upside down. I wore purple and they said I looked like one of the characters on Sesame Street. It was quite traumatising for me. From then on I learnt my lesson.”
REBECCA LIM: “I had some chicken nuggets - not all 20, like, 10? that’s reasonable, right? It’s like lunch and dinner combined.”
JEANETTE AW (on becoming a mother): “For Little Nyonya to be a mother, she must first get married. I’m a traditional woman.
ZHENG GE PING: “I’m drinking birds nest ... it’s just to make myself feel sweeter, because (you spend) three hours inside; your throat will become dry because of the air-con. Plus (bird’s nest) makes your skin brighter. Now I’m a bit older, it’s not easy to keep up.”
CARRIE WONG (on winning the Social Media Award): “Jeanette keeps in constant communication with her fans. I’ve been busy with work lately so not so active on social media so this was a surprise. I like posting things from my personal life like what I’m wearing or eating so I guess the fans feel closer to me because of that.”
CARRIE WONG (on her outfit): “My shoes are too big.”
HONG LING: “I think I have to suck in my tummy. I just ate a lot: The dinner box - there’s rice, vegetables and meat. I finished all of it.”
PAN LING LING: "To me simplicity is beauty, so I decided to go for this look. It’s a bit more relaxed, there are no burdens."
