Jackie Collins's Quotes

• My biggest critics have never read me.
• I live my life like a cool bachelor. I have a man for all seasons.
• [on Warren Beatty] Warren would proposition a chair if it looked at him sideways.
• [from her last interview] Looking back, I'm not sorry about anything I did. I did it my way, as Frank Sinatra would say. I've written five books since the diagnosis [for stage 4 breast cancer], I've lived my life, I've traveled all over the world, I have not turned down book tours and no one has ever known until now when I feel as though I should come out with it. Now I want to save other people's lives.
• [asked if she was dating anyone] I have a man for every occasion. When I was a kid growing up, I used to read my father's Playboy and I'd see those guys and they had fantastic cars and apartments. I have all of that now. Why would I want to hook myself up with one man when I've had two fantastic men in my life? One was my husband for 20 years and one was my fiance for six years.
