My view is quite simple. When your dog pees on the carpet, you do not give away your dog. You say, This dog is special. I have to teach him not to pee on the carpet. I feel exactly the same way about men. They need to be taught things.

Jacqueline Bisset
The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.

I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.
Jacqueline Bisset
If people choose to judge how you look, that's their situation. I didn't feel that it was a problem. I've played all kinds of parts. I've played glamorous, and unglamorous, and all kinds of people. People want to pigeon hole you, I think.
Jacqueline Bisset
I went to the premiere of The Detective with Sinatra, and perhaps people jumped to conclusions. He was very protective towards me and never came on to me sexually.
Jacqueline Bisset
I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.
Jacqueline Bisset
I'd like to work more, but I don't just want to do kind of generic characters. I want to do interesting characters, and I'd like to be cast against type.
Jacqueline Bisset
When you share work, and you have the opportunity of seeing people you like doing what they do best, and you also interchange socially with them, it's very addictive.
