Image
I have never given up on men easily.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
I wanted to go to acting school, and I did a few modeling jobs to pay for acting school. I never aspired to be a model. I met lots of photographers, and I learned a lot about light - as a source of love and illumination, light as a gift of love. On film, that's a massive contribution.

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.

Character contributes to beauty.

Image
A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory. I did some modeling, and Polanski gave me that small part.

This film business, perhaps more so in America than in Europe, has always been about young sexuality. It's not true of theatre, but in America, film audiences are young. It's not an intellectual cinema in America.

Image
I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business, but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave.

Image
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.

Image
To be used in a part without depth is a frustrating feeling, when you know you have something to give.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
Success as a woman has changed me. That's what I feel is the first thing. When I feel like a successful woman as a rounded human being, then it feeds my work in a broader way so it becomes more interesting.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
I grew up in a small town about 40 miles outside London, but it was a fairly cosmopolitan household.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
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
Image
I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
I could never have conceived that I would ever get to work in a Truffaut film. It was astonishing to me, and still is. I felt like an old pro, but it was still so unexpected.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
Making the decision to do more serious work raises eyebrows. It's less easy for the industry to deal with.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
Sometimes you like the personal adventure implicit in the making of a film, and sometimes you like your part in a film, and sometimes you like the final result.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
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.

What comes first in a relationship is lust - then more lust.
Jacqueline Bisset
Image
I consider myself a character actress, and that's working out. I'm getting chances to do things. I like the process - I don't want to pretend I'm something other than what I am.
