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.

More quotes by Jackie Collins
I love people-watching at the clubs in Los Angeles, where girls make fools of themselves and guys pay thousands of dollars for a couple of bottles of vodka just so they can get a table. It's quite a scene.
Jackie Collins
Love does not appear with any warning signs. You fall into it as if pushed from a high diving board.
Jackie Collins
My weakness is wearing too much leopard print.
Jackie Collins
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
I like to design my clothes I design my jewelry, yeah. It's fun.
Jackie Collins
You've got your hands full if you have three children under 2 years old.
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
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.
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
I'm a storyteller I write what I want to read.
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 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
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.
Jackie Collins
I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.
Jackie Collins
My biggest critics have never read me.
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
People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.
Jackie Collins
Where was Paris Hilton a year ago? She's a fabulous character to write about.
Jackie Collins
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.
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.
