Joan Collins Quotes

I was a pin-up girl. I did it for 30 years and, quite frankly, it gets a bit boring Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I say, ‘Use it or lose it.’ I have my own fitness regime, which is centred around stretching, free-weights and fast walking. I also have a trainer half of the year, as I spend my summers in the south of France where I swim a lot Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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.’ Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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! Picture Quote #1

Most ankle strap shoes are seriously unattractive, cutting the line of the leg as well as cutting off the circulation! Try dancing in them - your feet will look like a pair of overdone hotdogs afterwards Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My mother was a domestic goddess and Mother Earth figure. She was sweet and placid - just what the perfect wife was supposed to be and I was determined not to be Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If I hear the word ‘retire,’ it makes me want to throw up. And then do what? Sit around all day watching television? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Age is just a number. It’s totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Most of the time we’ve been living in England and now we’ve bought an apartment in New York which we absolutely love Picture Quote #1

I’m extremely happy in my life. I consider myself to be very blessed Picture Quote #1

You can’t help getting older, but you can help yourself from becoming old and infirm, in mind as well as body Picture Quote #1

The problem with beauty is that it’s like being born rich and getting poorer Picture Quote #1

All of a sudden I found myself with the reputation of being a swinger and a home-wrecker. Beverly Hills wives were supposed to live in fear in case I cast my green orbs in the direction of their men. Ninety-nine per cent of this was total fabrication Picture Quote #1
