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.

More quotes by Jackie Collins
People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.
Jackie Collins
My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.
Jackie Collins
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.
Jackie Collins
Your whole life is ahead of you. Don't you ever forget that.
Jackie Collins
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
Ideas are all around me. If I wasn't interested in them myself, I don't think anyone else would be either.
Jackie Collins
I'm a storyteller I write what I want to read.
Jackie Collins
My biggest critics have never read me.
Jackie Collins
I managed to take a family trip to the Bahamas and it was quite lovely.
Jackie Collins
A lot of people talk about writing. The secret is to write, not talk.
Jackie Collins
I don't plan my books. I don't know what's going to happen. That's why I could pick up any one of my 30 books and I could continue the story on.
Jackie Collins
The biggest critics of my books are the people who never read them.
Jackie Collins
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
You've got your hands full if you have three children under 2 years old.
Jackie Collins
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.
Jackie Collins
Whatever you have a passion for, then you must do. If you want to write, write about something you know about.
Jackie Collins
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.
Jackie Collins
I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.
Jackie Collins
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.
Jackie Collins
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.
Jackie Collins
