The saddest thing about myself is that I never read a book. I never got the habit.

To the unwashed public, Joan Collins is a star. But to those who know her, she's a commodity who would sell her own bowel movement.

The habit of reading is the only enjoyment in which there is no alloy; it lasts when all other pleasures fade.

As a boy, I devoured comics but never saw what we now describe as a picture book.

I never read articles about my books.

The saddest are these: 'It might have been!'
