Joan Collins Quotes

• My father is Jewish and I look exactly like him… My mother is British, but she’s of French extraction.
• 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.
• [on James Dean] Intense, moody, incredible charisma. He was short, myopic, not good-looking in life, really. I drove with Jimmy in his new red Porsche once. We were pissed [drunk] and went down Sunset and I was scared. He had the windows open, the music up, driving really fast. He died in that same Porsche two or three months later. You know who he was like? A young, better-looking Woody Allen, in a way. He had those same qualities of shyness, uncertainty and insecurity.
• [on her experience of a real life haunting in Venice, Italy] There is no way I am staying another night in this palazzo.
• [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 success] Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I’ll show you somebody who has never achieved much.
• [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 Italian film director Roberto Rossellini] Rossellini was a stubborn, opinionated genius who had total autonomy over all his productions.
• Even when you win the rat race, you’re still a rat.
• Dynasty (1981) was the opportunity to take charge of my career rather than walking around like a library book waiting to be loaned out.
• [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.
• 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)
• The easiest way to convince my kids that they don’t really need something is to get it for them.
• 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 problem with beauty is that it’s like being born rich and getting poorer.
• [on Margaret Thatcher’s 80th birthday] She’s the Iron Lady and I want to be just like that when I grow up.
• Age, in my opinion, has no bearing at all, that is unless, of course, one happens to be a bottle of wine.
• [1995] I was thinking, who of the English actresses in the last 30 or 40 years have achieved as much as I have?
• I’ve never been that keen on Shakespeare.
• After a certain age, you get the face you deserve.
• I’ve never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I can’t say I would turn my back on fortune. I’m someone who enjoys the benefits of money. I created a lifestyle for myself. Nobody else did it for me. Everything I have I’ve bought with my own money.
• I have always tried to live my life with enthusiasm and pleasure.
• It is unseemly to undress on stage. I won’t do that.
• The secret of having a personal life is not answering too many questions about it.
• The unfortunate statistics are that there are far more available and fabulous over-40 women than there are available and fabulous over-40 men.
• [1984] I enjoyed being an adulteress… taking a certain vengeance for the fact that my husband was not being faithful.
