Zitat des Tages von 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.
A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.
I have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.
Your voice is your tool and represents you. It's very important to have a good voice where you can be understood.
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.
I've always loved men.
A lot of actors work too much. There comes a point where it's hard to mask your basic personality. It's a bit like a relationship. If you're always there, they can't desire you.
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.
I'd like to get my public image nearer to my reality. People have a lot of misconceptions.
I work hard, and I tend to play hard. I very seldom rest hard.
To be used in a part without depth is a frustrating feeling, when you know you have something to give.
The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.
I have emotional strings that tie me to Europe.
I'm a very nurturing kind of person and a sort of a homemaker. I'm just interested in things remaining fresh.
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.
Time seems to stop in certain places.
We all lose our looks eventually. Better develop your character and interest in life.
Marriage has just never interested me.
I think the grandfather of the set is the director. He needs to have authority, to do what people want. A warm grandfather; he needs to know his job, to be open.
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.
There's something about being with a group of people who become like family that must be needed in society.
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.
I was never any good in the school theatrical productions. I always got a role like the March Hare.
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.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades. A mode of conduct, a standard of courage, discipline, fortitude, and integrity can do a great deal to make a woman beautiful.
I want to keep my attractiveness as long as I can. It has to do with vitality and energy and interest.
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.
At first I was always cast as the girlfriend. It was a long time before I got to play characters who were people.
I always had cats and animals, so children were never really in my thoughts.
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.
At the time, 1980, people regarded actresses involved with production with a certain amount of fear, resentment and anger.
I really feel that the talent I have is acting. Freedom and the possibility of play-that is what I like to have.
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.
You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
I've probably understood men too well. I realise they are predatory by nature, and I have a certain acceptance of the male animal.
Ideally, couples need three lives; one for him, one for her, and one for them together.
