When I was offered such a thing, I said [to myself], 'Now I will wear thin socks, put on make up, and go out with my friends.'{{cite news|url=http://www.sonsayfa.com/Haberler/Medya/Perihan-Savasin-sasirtan-evliligi-109008.html|title=Perihan Savaş'ın şaşırtan evliliği|accessdate=30 April 2011|date=22 April 2009|work=Son Sayfa}}}}
