I received an OBE from the Queen, which probably doesn't mean anything in America but is quite nice in England - the Order of the British Empire for services to drama.

More quotes by Joan Collins
Of course it's true: the public want to see young people - young people are the people who go to the cinema. It's a sad fact of life, but you've got to accept it and not whine about it.
Joan Collins
I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.
Joan Collins
And I kissed a lot of frogs as well, but no, I kissed a lot of frogs and now I've found my prince.
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
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
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
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
What is so weird is that young people who want to be 'celebrities' do not want to put in the hard work. They don't want to do the training, go to drama school, read Shakespeare, try different accents and study technique. They just want to be famous. It is not just in England it's the same in America and all over Europe.
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
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'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'm older than my sister so I started writing first. I started writing at school. I was always top of my class in composition, essays, English Lit and all of that.
Joan Collins
If I need to cheer myself up, I will put on some fabulous '40s musical on video. But I'm very lucky I seldom get depressed. Without question, I'm a 'glass half full' person. In fact, it's three-quarters full!
Joan Collins
I like to remember phone numbers because it keeps your brain active. If you don't use it, you lose it.
Joan Collins
I'm extremely happy in my life. I consider myself to be very blessed.
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've never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can't say I would turn my back on fortune. I'm someone who enjoys the benefits of money.
Joan Collins
I don't believe in dieting.
Joan Collins
I think health is another exceedingly important thing.
Joan Collins
I think, Larry, one of the things is I'm a very active person.
