The easier you make it look, the more difficult it is. Creating characters out of nothing, and making them interesting - and that's another advice I would give to writers.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

If you want to have great sex,...

If you want to have great sex, find a partner who really turns you on. Pills are merely props, and props can turn out to be a big drag.

Whatever you have a passion for, then you must do. If you want to write, write about something you know about.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

I know that I am very popular in Holland, in fact I have visited Amsterdam several times to publicize my books. I have a great publisher in Holland and they have published all of my books in Dutch.

If you want to achieve your dreams, you must follow them, and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich, but to think about doing something that you really want to do.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

I have this theory that people...

I have this theory that people in Hollywood don't read. They read 'Vanity Fair' and then consider themselves terribly well read. I think I can basically write about anybody without getting caught.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

Do not copy my style! The firs...

Do not copy my style! The first rule of writing is write about what you know, not what you think you know. So, think about what you've done in your life and write about that.

I think I'm a born storyteller. Inspiration is all around me. I can read a newspaper article and come up with an idea for a book.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

Ideas are all around me. If I wasn't interested in them myself, I don't think anyone else would be either.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

I don't believe in writing any...

I don't believe in writing anything that I don't know about or haven't researched about personally. I like to transport the reader to places, and in order to do that I have to do the research.

I write about real people in disguise. If anything, my characters are toned down-the truth is much more bizarre.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

I was never confident about finishing a book, but friends encouraged me. When I finished my first book, it was accepted by a publisher right away and became an instant bestseller. One male critic called it the most shocking book he ever read.

All of my books have the potential to become movies, it's just a question of finding a studio who wants to get behind me and put up the money to make the movie.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

Authors change publishers because it's like being married for a long time and suddenly you want to go out and have a wild affair! No, not seriously, sometimes the deal is more interesting with a new publisher, and other times they have more enthusiasm for your books.

Jackie Collins 87 quotes

I am still shocking people today, and I don't know why. Is it because I'm a woman talking about sex and men? One magazine said that no one writes sex in the back of a Bentley better than Jackie Collins.

I have visited Australia several times, and I always try to make a point of going to Melbourne because it's almost my favorite city there, Melbourne and Sydney. But I shouldn't say that because I haven't been everywhere-and I'm very fond of Perth too!

I have written 20 books, and each one is like having a baby. Writing is not easy; some people want to write books but just can't put a story together. I can put together a story that interests both me and my readers.

People are intrigued by fame, power and wealth and I think Hollywood is the only place where you get all three together.

Men are cheaters. Women are not to be trusted. And most people are dumb.

Your whole life is ahead of you. Don't you ever forget that.
