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

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 have an intense obsession with making films. I not only love to make films, I perhaps need to make films.

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.

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.

I have very intense conversations with friends, people I really interconnect with. We talk about politics, important things. I like to talk about ideas and get people to be specific.
