The deeper interior you have the more you have in your llibrary.

Jacqueline Bisset

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

Your voice is your tool and represents you. It's very important to have a good voice where you can be understood.

I'm a very nurturing kind of person and a sort of a homemaker. I'm just interested in things remaining fresh.

I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.

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.

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.

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 work hard, and I tend to play hard. I very seldom rest hard.

Character contributes to beauty.

You have to forgive everybody. It's the best beauty treatment.

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.
