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 never thought I was particularly good looking. But when I see old photographs, I realise that I was. I do wish I had known that at the time because beauty is power. I didn’t realise how lucky I was to be young, beautiful and in Hollywood. It didn’t hit me. Every day I woke up, went to the film studio and just got on with it. – Joan Collins
I mean, even my dressing room at the studio has candles and cushions and cashmere rugs and things. – Joan Collins
But I have had to give up certain things in my life. One is shopping. Two is lunch with the girls. Three is cocktail parties, and four is studying my lines. – 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 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 do it because I love acting, I love working, and whether it’s radio, television, films, theater, I don’t care as long as I can get out there and do it. – Joan Collins
I do think it’s very important, if you’re going to spend the rest of your life with somebody, to know that you really like them. Because when the pheromones wear off, which of course they will, you have to have a strong basis. – Joan Collins
I’ve three children, three grandchildren, I work, I travel, and I’m very happily married. I’m very satisfied and happy with my life and there really isn’t anything I want. – Joan Collins
My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I’d have to work for everything. – 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
