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.

I get called Jacqueline Bissette in America. In France, I get called Jackie Bisset. And actually, it is Jacqueline Bisset, which is not that easy to say.

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.

The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn and in terms of acting, there's a lot to learn. The bigger culture you have in life, the better actor you'll be. You'll have more to pull on.

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
19.
I've probably understood men too well. I realise they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of the male animal.
Jacqueline Bisset

I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.
Jacqueline Bisset

Marriage has just never interested me.
Jacqueline Bisset
22.
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
23.
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.

I don't come in with any preconceived ideas, and although I will have done some preparation, I can go which way the director wants.

25.
I went to see Oliver Stone's 'Heaven & Earth,' which I thought was a wonderful movie, but I walked out because I was so moved. It was too painful to watch.
Jacqueline Bisset
26.
At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.
Jacqueline Bisset
27.
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.

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

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.

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.
Jacqueline Bisset
32.
I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.
Jacqueline Bisset
33.
I think I am an adult.
Jacqueline Bisset
34.
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
35.
I work hard, and I tend to play hard. I very seldom rest hard.
Jacqueline Bisset
36.
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
37.
You need to become a good listener. As you're working, you hear someone else's lines and how you absorb them becomes your acting.
Jacqueline Bisset
38.
Being around people with whom you feel a connection, on many levels, not just a professional one, is very relaxing. Your ears are more open to someone who is not a cantankerous bastard.
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
43.
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
44.
There's something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society.
Jacqueline Bisset
45.
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
46.
My looks are changing obviously, so I fuss like any woman if I look tired or whatever, I put on weight and blah, blah. But some part of me is very relaxed with it all.
Jacqueline Bisset
47.
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
48.
You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
Jacqueline Bisset
49.
I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don't have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty.
Jacqueline Bisset
50.
I can't believe I've been doing it so long. In the last three or four years, I've slowed down. I'm doing only the roles I really want to do.
