I`m able to move like no one else you`ve ever seen in front of a camera.

I wish I`d gotten sober at a younger age.

I was shaped by my mistakes.

If you think I`m over-the-top, I am.

I was lusted after walking down the streets of New York.

Follow sound business trends, not fashion trends.

Every six months I fly to Dallas to get botox and I also get collagen injections.

Mothers don`t let your daughters grow up to be models unless you`re present.

I`ve been the queen of dysfunction and made every mistake one can make.

I have a very vivid imagination.

Celebrity is hawking make-up, cars, everything; it`s shifted.

Beauty opened all the doors; it got me things I didn`t even know I wanted, and things I certainly didn`t deserve.

I had to fight like hell to convince people I was beautiful in my own Polish half-breed way.

I have to wake up and drink chamomile tea to slow down.

Photo shoots for underage girls are like letting an ant walk around with honey.

I borrow bits from everyone.

I grew up studying ballet; I grew up honing my craft.

My first job was for a blue jean company as a sitting model. I posed for 15 minutes and made $50. It was 1976.

I got a book deal without even turning in one shred of a writing sample.

What`s my motto when it comes to money? Don`t put so much emphasis on it!

But as a young model, I never felt as beautiful as I looked.

The secrets almost killed me. I kept the secret of incest.

In my day, I, being the first supermodel, I hawked everything.

As the saying goes, I want to be the best-looking corpse there is.

Everyone steals from something or someone.

I`ve been on the cover of every magazine in the world.

I`m aiming to become the white Oprah.

People identify with me - everyone does - African American women, Caucasian women, they all identify with me because I`m ethnic.

Self-help books are for the birds. Self-help groups are where it`s at.

But you see, that`s the gilded prison of fashion. We`re riding in private jets, and meantime I was so incredibly, painfully sad and lonely.

I find the light and work it, work it, work it.

I`m keeping my acerbic wit completely fueled.

Money is like hormones. It`s just how you feel on any given day.

I was hot and I knew it and it went to my head.

I can wrap my legs around my neck.

Without gay men, I am nothing.

I`m addicted to cosmetic surgery!

And I will never, ever respond to anybody - man, woman, vegetable, or mineral - who tells me to keep my mouth shut.

I grew up in an abusive home and was told on a daily basis by my father that I would never amount to anything and that I looked like a boy.

I lived the stuff that Jackie Collins writes about.
