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

I'd like to get my public image nearer to my reality. People have a lot of misconceptions.
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'm a very nurturing kind of person and a sort of a homemaker. I'm just interested in things remaining fresh.
Jacqueline Bisset

I've always loved men.
Jacqueline Bisset

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

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.
Jacqueline Bisset

Not everyone likes watching rushes, but it makes me work harder, and I don't feel I am watching myself, but watching the progression of the character.

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.

Time seems to stop in certain places.
Jacqueline Bisset

To be used in a part without depth is a frustrating feeling, when you know you have something to give.
Jacqueline Bisset

We all lose our looks eventually. Better develop your character and interest in life.
Jacqueline Bisset

When I am working on a movie, all I want to talk about is the movie. All I want to be with are the movie people. It's like a clan. If I'm asked to people's houses for dinner, I hate to go, because they'll talk about other things.
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.
Jacqueline Bisset

Working with Candy Bergen was really wonderful.
