Memorable celebrity quotes of 2019 (Conclusion)

As we bid 2019 goodbye, allow me to share more quotes from celebrities I interviewed this year. Thank you to the stars for accommodating me and to my readers for your vote of confidence. The trust of celebs and your support make the show biz circus worthwhile.

Let’s look back at 2019 and look forward to 2020 with a smile in our hearts. May we see fireworks in everything we do, even when the New Year revelry is over.

Alden Richards

ALDEN RICHARDS:

My first team-up with Kathryn Bernardo worked because nothing was forced. We just let the moment take care of itself and let everything be organic.

Piolo Pascual

PIOLO PASCUAL:

It’s more fulfilling to be an actor than to be a producer. But I enjoy doing both. It just feels better to get paid as an actor than to shell out money as a producer.

Martin Nievera

MARTIN NIEVERA:

As much as I hate remembering it, I would have to say my biggest calvary was when I deeply disappointed Pops by going astray. As much as I know that these things really happen in life, I spent the rest of mine trying to convince her and everyone watching that I was worthy of redeeming myself.

Onstage and off, it was an uphill climb. But with God’s grace, together with Pops’ forgiving heart, I was given a se­cond chance at friendship, as well as a second life onstage. I remain forever grateful for that.

Solenn Heussaff

SOLENN HEUSSAFF:

The craziest thing that my husband Nico [Bolzico] and I ever did was a five-day road trip with no music. Having survived that is an indication that I married the right person.

Charlene Gonzales-Muhlach

CHARLENE ‍GONZALES-MUHLACH:

One of the hardest things for parents is realizing that your children are getting older. You will always see them as your babies. I always remind myself that Aga and I have to give our twins space to grow. We want them to explore and find their own unique path, but we assure them of our support no matter what.

Richard Yap

RICHARD YAP:

I stay away from temptation in the biz by always thinking of how good my wife is to me and that, by itself, stops me from doing anything crazy.

Ina Raymundo

INA RAYMUNDO:

My husband is supportive of my show biz career, but he’s the type who would join me in show biz events. I think that’s one of the reasons why our marriage works. He lets me do my thing as an actress, but we also have “couple time.”

Jim Paredes

JIM PAREDES:

Substance shines longer than form, if you want to have a long career. Don’t follow trends. You will fade away when the trend has played out. Having your own voice and sound is your contribution to the world.

Epy Quizon

EPY QUIZON:

It’s a misconception that the Quizons are “chickboys.” We just fall easily and, sometimes, to a fault.

Barbie Forteza

BARBIE FORTEZA:

We all have two sides, whether we admit it or not. The flip side of my being sweet is that I speak my mind. I’m not the type who will suffer in silence. When something is wrong, I put my foot down.
