More quotes by 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
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 buy into you're on the slag heap when you're 40 or 50 or 60 or 70 or whatever.
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
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
It is unseemly to undress on stage. I won't do that.
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
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

Joan Collins
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.
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
Isn't three quarters of life a guilty pleasure?
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
The cosmetics industry has much to answer for. It's a multi-million- pound confidence trick based on giving women endless hope, courtesy of overpriced little pots.
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
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've spent years when I've not been in the limelight at all and I'm perfectly happy living my life without being swooped on by paparazzi.
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'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.
