All of my books have the potential to become movies, it's just a question of finding a studio who wants to get behind me and put up the money to make the movie.

For a perfect holiday I need my iPhone and my writing tools. I write all my books by hand so black felt pens and yellow legal pads are a must. And my eyebrow pencil. I'm very low-maintenance.

If you want to achieve your dreams, you must follow them, and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich, but to think about doing something that you really want to do.
Jackie Collins
Image
Whatever you have a passion for, then you must do. If you want to write, write about something you know about.
Jackie Collins
Image
I really fall in love with my characters, even the bad ones. I love getting together with them. They tell me what to do they take me on a wild and wonderful trip.

Image
I have this theory that people in Hollywood don't read. They read 'Vanity Fair' and then consider themselves terribly well read. I think I can basically write about anybody without getting caught.
Jackie Collins
Image
I don't believe in writing anything that I don't know about or haven't researched about personally. I like to transport the reader to places, and in order to do that I have to do the research.

I woke up last night and thought: 'I must call somebody in my next novel Casablanca.' It's such a great name. I don't want to call anybody Fred or Jane or Susan, so when three people get into bed together, you don't know who they are.

I have written 20 books, and each one is like having a baby. Writing is not easy some people want to write books but just can't put a story together. I can put together a story that interests both me and my readers.
Jackie Collins
Image
I write synopses after the book is completed. I can't write it beforehand, because I don't know what the book's about. I invent something for my publisher because he asks for one, but the final book ends up very differently.

My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.

Image
A lot of people talk about writing. The secret is to write, not talk.
Jackie Collins
Image
As soon as I reach my destination I have a cup of tea, something to eat and then sleep for about 13 hours. I make that an absolute rule and I always feel fresh afterwards and never have jet lag.

If you want to have great sex, find a partner who really turns you on. Pills are merely props, and props can turn out to be a big drag.

You've got your hands full if you have three children under 2 years old.

I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.

Image
Ideas are all around me. If I wasn't interested in them myself, I don't think anyone else would be either.

If you wrote a page a day, at the end of the year you would have a book. Whether it's any good or not is beside the point, but you would have a book, instead of just talking about it all the time.

I wake up in the morning and I still have a passion for what I do, and I'll be doing it when I'm 105, I'll be scribbling away. If it was 100 years ago I'd be sitting by the campfire, saying, Have I got a story to tell you.
