People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.
Jackie Collins
Image
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.
Jackie Collins
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.

Love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high diving board.
Jackie Collins
Image
I managed to take a family trip to the Bahamas and it was quite lovely.
Jackie Collins
Image
Your whole life is ahead of you. Don't you ever forget that.
Jackie Collins
Image
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
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.
Jackie Collins
Image
I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.
Jackie Collins
Image
My biggest critics have never read me.

Where was Paris Hilton a year ago? She's a fabulous character to write about.
