And we have not found any generational gap at all. If he wants to go a football game, he goes. If I want to go to a fashion show, I go. We don’t have to do everything together. But we like doing most things together. – Joan Collins
And the truth is I’ve always taken very good care of my skin, and always, always worn make-up. – Joan Collins
One of the rules about being an actor or an actress is that you never diss other actors or actresses, particularly when you don’t know them. – 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
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 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
And I think of that again as I’ve written in several of my beauty books, a lot of health comes from the proper eating habits, which are something that – you know, I come from a generation that wasn’t – didn’t have a lot of food. – Joan Collins
Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I’ll show you somebody who has never achieved much. – 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. – 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 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 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
Doing 20 minutes of stretching, light weights and floor exercises three times a week takes the same amount of time as a long coffee break – and eating a tuna fish salad, sardines on toast or scrambled eggs is surely preferable to a Big Mac or KFC. – 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 look my age, I don’t feel my age and I don’t act my age. To me age is just a number. – 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 don’t know why people are so obsessed with age anyway. I mean, 90 is the new 70; 70 is the new 50 and 50 is the new 40; so the whole act-your-age thing? Only up to a point. – Joan Collins
My father is Jewish, and I look exactly like him… My mother is British, but she’s of French extraction. – 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
We live in a quick-fix society where we need instant gratification for everything. Too fat? Get lipo-sucked. Stringy hair? Glue on extensions. Wrinkles and lines? Head to the beauty shop for a pot of the latest miracle skin stuff. It’s all a beautiful รด?1 billion con foisted upon insecure women by canny cosmetic conglomerates. – Joan Collins
I eat an avocado every day. It’s amazing for your skin. It’s one of the super-foods, and I’m just so into eating properly and healthily. – 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
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
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 was voted the most beautiful girl in the world in 1958, and courted by every young, available man in Los Angeles, most of whom I didn’t go out with, by the way. – Joan Collins
Age is just a number. It’s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine. – Joan Collins
