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.

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.

I love being in my garden. I don't plant a lot of exotic flora, but I do spend a lot of time outside doing manual labour.

Image
I want to keep my attractiveness as long as I can. It has to do with vitality and energy and interest.

Image
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.

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.

At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.

I grew up in a small town about 40 miles outside London, but it was a fairly cosmopolitan household.

Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.

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.

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.
