I blame my grandmother for encouraging me to become an actress.

Dynasty was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than waiting around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.

Joan Collins

The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.

Joan Collins

I don't believe in dieting.

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.

Certainly there are dozens of over-50 actresses who look great: Sophia Loren, Susan Sarandon, Ursula Andress, Stefanie Powers, Raquel Welch, Barbara Eden, Joanna Lumley, Linda Gray - the list is endless, and these are just the actresses! I have many friends in their 60s, 70s and 80s, not in the limelight, but who all look absolutely stunning.

Joan Collins

Well I've written four beauty books as well.

Joan Collins

Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.

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 do all my own make-up, it takes me 10 minutes.

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'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

If life throws you a lemon - make lemonade.

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.

The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.

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.

I think, Larry, one of the things is I'm a very active person.

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

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

Basically, though, I believe in eating well, not eating too much but eating a variety of foods.

Joan Collins

I've always maintained that there is a very fine line between a daring, sexy older woman and mutton dressed as lamb.

Joan Collins

I really feel now like a native New Yorker. And I'm very happy here.

Botox, I think, is poison, I would never put it into my face, and I'm needle-phobic. I spend a lot of time keeping my face out of the sun and taking care of my skin and wearing make-up.

Joan Collins

The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.

And I used to write novels and little stories and compositions and I - but I put them away because I started acting when I was 17. So there wasn't much time.

I blame my grandmother for encouraging me to become an actress.

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

Yes, I love playing cartoony characters. Been known for that.

Joan Collins

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.

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

I think dieting is bad for you.
