Ive never chased fame. I came into this business to be a theatre actress. I was nine when I first appeared on stage. But I cant say I would turn my back on fortune. Im someone who enjoys the benefits of money. – Joan Collins
I think it has something to do with being British. We dont 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. – Joan Collins
Of course its true: the public want to see young people – young people are the people who go to the cinema. Its a sad fact of life, but youve got to accept it and not whine about it. – Joan Collins
I dont 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. – Joan Collins
I know I did the right thing by taking time off to raise my son. But it also came at a price. I turned down many opportunities over the years because I didnt want to leave him for long periods of time. And in Hollywood, as in any business, the calls stop coming when you dont answer. – Arsenio Hall
So many of my friends are still trying to get record deals, and Ive had one for 10 years now, where my only goal is to make the best music I can make. Ive been very lucky. I have great faith that Im exactly where Im supposed to be, and whatever happens is going to be absolutely right for me. – Jane Siberry
