Jackie Collins

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

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.

Who is ready to settle for five minutes when three hours does nicely?

If I make a move, like raise my eyebrows, some critic says I'm doing Nicholson. What am I supposed to do, cut off my eyebrows?

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.
