More quotes by Jacqueline Bisset
I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.
Jacqueline Bisset
There is an eternal humanity that crosses through all people, and it's more interesting often when it's about struggle - not people with champagne glasses.
Jacqueline Bisset
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.
Jacqueline Bisset
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
I have never given up on men easily.
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.

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
I want to keep my attractiveness as long as I can. It has to do with vitality and energy and interest.
Jacqueline Bisset
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.
Jacqueline Bisset
Making the decision to do more serious work raises eyebrows. It's less easy for the industry to deal with.
Jacqueline Bisset
Best beauty tip is forgiveness for yourself and others
Jacqueline Bisset

Jacqueline Bisset
The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.
Jacqueline Bisset
You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
Jacqueline Bisset
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.
Jacqueline Bisset
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
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.
