Joan Collins's quotes
- [1984] I enjoyed being an adulteress... taking a certain vengeance for the fact that my husband was not being faithful.
- The unfortunate statistics are that there are far more available and fabulous over-40 women than there are available and fabulous over-40 men.
- The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.
- It is unseemly to undress on stage. I won't do that.
- I have always tried to live my life with enthusiasm and pleasure.
- After a certain age, you get the face you deserve.
- I've never been that keen on Shakespeare.
- [1995] I was thinking, who of the English actresses in the last 30 or 40 years have achieved as much as I have?
- Age, in my opinion, has no bearing at all, that is unless, of course, one happens to be a bottle of wine.
- [on Margaret Thatcher's 80th birthday] She's the Iron Lady and I want to be just like that when I grow up.
- The problem with beauty is that it's like being born rich and getting poorer.
- I've never yet met a man who could look after me. I don't need a husband. What I need is a wife.
- The easiest way to convince my kids that they don't really need something is to get it for them.
- [on her guest starring role on Star Trek (1966)] People still want to talk to me about that episode - some remember me more for that than anything else I've done. (September/October 2006, Star Trek Magazine issue #1)
- [on her character in The Bitch (1979)] She appears to have the world by the balls, but underneath she's trying to solve the problem of loneliness, which I think is the universal problem of all rich people.
- Dynasty (1981) was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than walking around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.
- Even when you win the rat race, you're still a rat.
- [on Italian film director Roberto Rossellini] Rossellini was a stubborn, opinionated genius who had total autonomy over all his productions.
- [on George Peppard] He's arrogant -- the sort of man who expects women to fall at his feet at the slightest command; who throws his weight around. He gives the impression that he's the star, what he says goes and that nobody else is very important.
- [on success] Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.
- [on the death of longtime friend and former teacher, John Forsythe, who played Blake Carrington] He was one of the last of the true gentlemen of the acting profession. I enjoyed our nine years of feuding, fussing and fighting as the Carringtons.
- [on her experience of a real life haunting in Venice, Italy] There is no way I am staying another night in this palazzo.
- The compartment that's easy to put me in is "freethinking, sexy broad with a dirty mouth, who pretty much does what she wants". But there's more to me than that.
- My father is Jewish and I look exactly like him... My mother is British, but she's of French extraction.
- [on her engagement to Percy Gibson] I warned him that we would be attacked remorselessly in the media.
- Mum was Church of England, Daddy was Jewish but we weren't religious at all. We didn't celebrate at all. I do feel Jewish, but I feel Christian as well.
