More quotes by 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 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
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
There are very few designers in Hollywood today who know how to really flatter a woman's body, and Mark Zunino is at the top of my list.
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
I've made no secret of the fact that I often wear wigs and have in fact launched my own Dynasty range, named after various characters. I find this saves a ton of time - as well as my own hair.
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
Life is a predator: you have to eat it before it eats you.
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
When I was at school, I was terrible at algebra and arithmetic, but I was always the best at English and literature. And acting, of course.
Joan Collins
Every woman should wear make-up. It takes years off. I'm wearing lots of false eyelashes today, and to me, lipstick is the best cosmetic that exists.
Joan Collins
I was so fortunate to work closely with the designer Nolan Miller whilst on 'Dynasty' to create the wardrobe for Alexis Carrington Colby, and we had great fun sourcing outfits.
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'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
It is unseemly to undress on stage. I won't do that.
Joan Collins
Isn't three quarters of life a guilty pleasure?
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 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
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
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.'
