You've got your hands full if you have three children under 2 years old.

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 like to design my clothes; I design my jewelry, yeah. It's fun.

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.

If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!

As soon as I reach my destination I have a cup of tea, something to eat and then sleep for about 13 hours. I make that an absolute rule and I always feel fresh afterwards and never have jet lag.

Where was Paris Hilton a year ago? She's a fabulous character to write about.
