So-called designer bags are useless, and most are also ugly, faddish and overpriced. Pared down and sleek is always best.
Quote by -Joan Collins
If you eat junk, you look like junk. People say, 'It's not my fault, it's my glands.' It's not; it's greed!
Quote by -Joan Collins
Jennifer Aniston is cute, but I wouldn't call her beautiful. I think that is why Cheryl Cole is so popular, because she is just so pretty and the public are starved of gorgeous people. When I was young, everybody on screen was gorgeous.
Quote by -Joan Collins
There's something about the air and the sky and the atmosphere in the South of France that must be very conducive to work, to being creative, because I have written several of my books there. I find it so much easier because you're cut off. If you don't want to speak to anybody, basically they don't know where you are. And it's so beautiful.
Quote by -Joan Collins
My mother use to call me 'Miss Perpetual Motion' because I rarely keep still.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joan Collins
I've become totally hooked on Cellex-C. It's an anti-ageing serum and is fantastic. I use it morning and evening and even on my hands, where it has faded those dark spots.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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?
Quote by -Joan Collins
My parents instilled in me that life was going to be very difficult and that I'd have to work for everything.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joan Collins
I think it is shocking that 15- and 16-year-olds leave school unable to add up and with the reading ability of a four-year-old.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joan Collins
The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.
Quote by -Joan Collins
I've never yet met a man who could look after me. I don't need a husband. What I need is a wife.
Quote 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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joan Collins
Basically, though, I believe in eating well, not eating too much but eating a variety of foods.
Quote by -Joan Collins
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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joan Collins
Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joan Collins
I have never been the mousy, stand-two-paces-behind, obedient 'little woman' type.
Quote by -Joan Collins
The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joan Collins
I've said no to 'Celebrity Big Brother,' 'Strictly,' and the American one, 'Dancing With The Stars.' I don't feel it's right for me. I've been asked to do reality TV a zillion times. No way. No way. Nobody's going to get into my living room and see me there.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Joan Collins
I used to go over to Gene Kelly's house and play volleyball, and Paul Newman and Marlon Brando were always there. You kind of took it for granted because I was 20, 21, 22, and they were a bit older - well, Gene certainly was. But it was just part of daily living. They were in the same profession, and you didn't think that much about it.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -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.
