More quotes by 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
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
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
My mother was a domestic goddess and Mother Earth figure. She was sweet and placid - just what the perfect wife was supposed to be and I was determined not to be.
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 don't believe in dieting.
Joan Collins
You can't help getting older, but you can help yourself from becoming old and infirm, in mind as well as body.
Joan Collins
I think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously I find that a very tedious attitude.
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 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
I used to not be confident. My father certainly didn't add to my confidence. When I was 17 or 18, I was voted the most beautiful girl in England by the association of press photographers. When they called Daddy for a comment, he said, 'I'm amazed. She's a nice looking girl, but nothing special.'
Joan Collins
I'm extremely happy in my life. I consider myself to be very blessed.
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 consider you as old as you look and feel. And in that case I feel - I feel I'm about 39, like Jack Benny.
Joan Collins
However much some journalists may criticize me, I know that I look, feel, and behave several decades younger than my actual age, and much of that is because I believe you are what you think you are. This is called positive affirmation, and it's a really strong tool.
Joan Collins
I think you always have to use certain parts of yourself in any role.
Joan Collins
The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.
Joan Collins
I don't believe in vitamin pills. I swear by men, darling-and as many as possible.
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 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.
