"I'm extremely happy in my life. I consider myself to be very blessed." — Joan Collins

I do it because I love acting, I love working, and whether it's radio, television, films, theater, I don't care as long as I can get out there and do it.

Age is just a number. It's totally irrelevant unless, of course, you happen to be a bottle of wine.

Every woman should wear make-up. It takes years off. I'm wearing lots of false eyelashes today, and to me, lipstick is the best cosmetic that exists.

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!

Doing 20 minutes of stretching, light weights and floor exercises three times a week takes the same amount of time as a long coffee break - and eating a tuna fish salad, sardines on toast or scrambled eggs is surely preferable to a Big Mac or KFC.

Having had five husbands, I guess I should know a thing or two about marriage.

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.

The body is like a car: the older you become the more care you have to take care of it - and you don't leave a Ferrari out in the sun.
