More quotes by Jacqueline Bisset
I'm a perfectionist. I need to be needed. I need to do things for a man. But I don't need to do them as much, these days.
Jacqueline Bisset
I have always watched the rushes, and have learned more because I have done so, because you can have all manner of ideas in your head, but they have to end up on the screen.
Jacqueline Bisset
I grew up in a small town about 40 miles outside London, but it was a fairly cosmopolitan household.

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.

You need to get in touch with your body ... do dance, movement, learn to be supple, or be someone who's coordinated, preferably. You have to study, train, and you don't have to go to school necessarily, you can teach yourself a lot of stuff.

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
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
Making the decision to do more serious work raises eyebrows. It's less easy for the industry to deal with.
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
You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
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 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.
Jacqueline Bisset
I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.
Jacqueline Bisset
Older people exude bundles of sexuality. Older men and women tend not run around like cats and dogs in heat.
Jacqueline Bisset
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.
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.
