Jacqueline Bisset
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
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
I have never given up on men easily.

Making the decision to do more serious work raises eyebrows. It's less easy for the industry to deal with.
Jacqueline Bisset
To be used in a part without depth is a frustrating feeling, when you know you have something to give.
Jacqueline Bisset
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.
Jacqueline Bisset
I want to keep my attractiveness as long as I can. It has to do with vitality and energy and interest.
