More quotes by Joan Collins
I don't buy into you're on the slag heap when you're 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or whatever.
Joan Collins
I have girlfriends who've had Botox and been left with lumps in their faces. And the lips, don't even get me started.
Joan Collins
Well, it is quite daunting, but I made my first appearance on the stage when I was nine, because I went to a theatrical school, because I wanted to be an actress since I was eight.
Joan Collins
The body is like a car: the older you become the more care you have to take care of it - and you don't leave a Ferrari out in the sun.
Joan Collins
I never thought I was particularly good looking. But when I see old photographs, I realise that I was. I do wish I had known that at the time because beauty is power. I didn't realise how lucky I was to be young, beautiful and in Hollywood. It didn't hit me. Every day I woke up, went to the film studio and just got on with it.
Joan Collins
I don't believe in eating junk and I protect my face all the time from the sun, even in the winter with base and makeup.
Joan Collins
I don't seek to be in the tabloids but I suppose sometimes I go out and I'm wearing something and they take a picture and it's in.
Joan Collins
Certainly there are dozens of over-50 actresses who look great: Sophia Loren, Susan Sarandon, Ursula Andress, Stefanie Powers, Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Joanna Lumley, Linda Gray - the list is endless, and these are just the actresses! I have many friends in their 60s, 70s and 80s, not in the limelight, but who all look absolutely stunning.
Joan Collins
I can't think of anything I would rather not - rather do than get up and not do anything. I have to do something. Whether it is painting, writing, acting, shopping, going to the gym, being with friends, going out - I just am a very active person. I have a lot of friends and I travel a lot.
Joan Collins
I've said no to 'Celebrity Big Brother,' 'Strictly,' and the American one, 'Dancing With The Stars.' I don't feel it's right for me. I've been asked to do reality TV a zillion times. No way. No way. Nobody's going to get into my living room and see me there.
Joan Collins
Every time an article is written about me or any of my contemporaries who's had the fortune and discipline to look good at a certain age, I am struck by the tone of astonishment, and the certainty that something is being done secretively to beat the devil.
Joan Collins
And sometimes when I would get in the morning, when we'd go out - we'd see shrapnel and bits of stuff in the streets and bombed buildings, and - but I was evacuated a lot. Every time the blitz got heavy, my parents would take us off to the country.
Joan Collins
I have a lot of male friends that I go the cinema with and movie and shopping. A lot of men friends I know love shopping.
Joan Collins
I don't use e-mail I phone and fax. I think people who are hunched over their computer screens all day should get a life.
Joan Collins
If I hear the word 'retire,' it makes me want to throw up. And then do what? Sit around all day watching television?
Joan Collins
I say, 'Use it or lose it.' I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot.
Joan Collins
I was thinking, who of the English actresses in the last 30 or 40 years have achieved as much as I have?
Joan Collins
I think you always have to use certain parts of yourself in any role.
Joan Collins
And we have not found any generational gap at all. If he wants to go a football game, he goes. If I want to go to a fashion show, I go. We don't have to do everything together. But we like doing most things together.
Joan Collins
My grandmother spoiled my father rotten and he grew up expecting women to do whatever he wanted. When he married my beautiful mother, Elsa, he expected her to give up her career as a champion ballroom dancer and become a good wife and mother, which she dutifully did.
Joan Collins
