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

I'd like to get my public image nearer to my reality. People have a lot of misconceptions.

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.

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.

The thing about anything in life is you have to get ready for it. Study, learn.

Marriage has just never interested me.

I'm quite happy being myself. I'm a big fan of Jessica Lange and Jeanne Moreau, but I don't want to be anyone else.
