I grew up in a small town about 40 miles outside London, but it was a fairly cosmopolitan household.

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

I'm either offered window-dressing parts in large movies or little art films no one ever sees. People think the movies I end up doing are my real choices. I do the best things I'm offered.

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.

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

I think I am an adult.

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

I have emotional strings that tie me to Europe.

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 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.

I always had cats and animals, so children were never really in my thoughts.

Sometimes you like the personal adventure implicit in the making of a film, and sometimes you like your part in a film, and sometimes you like the final result.

I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare. A Latin teacher told me I might make a good actress, and that stuck in my memory.

- Jacqueline Bisset

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

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

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

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.

There's something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society.
