More quotes by 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
Most of the time we've been living in England and now we've bought an apartment in New York which we absolutely love.
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 have a lot of male friends.
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
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
Yes, I love playing cartoony characters. Been known for that.
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
I've fallen in love maybe five times in my life. But it's a long life. I do get crushes. Whether it's men or women or babies.
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
Botox, I think, is poison, I would never put it into my face, and I'm needle-phobic. I spend a lot of time keeping my face out of the sun and taking care of my skin and wearing make-up.
Joan Collins
I'm a woman for all seasons. I mix 'n' match, do designer and high street - keep all my good pieces. I design all my evening and cocktail dresses most of the time as I dislike what is out there.
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
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
And then I wrote my first autobiography when I - well, it was 23 years ago. And since then I've written about one book every two years.
Joan Collins
According to my sister Jackie, most men stray. And sex doesn't mean anything to most men. But I wouldn't date a man who slept around. Absolutely not, I've divorced people for that
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
From the age of 17 I was a pin-up girl. I did it for 30 years and, quite frankly, it gets a bit boring.
Joan Collins
When I was 49, I posed for Playboy - I was very flattered to be asked. I was quite honoured, really, considering that most of the models they feature are in their twenties.
Joan Collins
I think bare legs in winter are idiotic. Unless your naked pins are toned, tanned and veinless, it's best to cover up. There is nothing more elegant in winter than dark tights worn with matching knee-length boots and a belted trench coat.
