I Work Hard, And I Tend To

I Am A Great Lover Of Art, In Many Forms: Paintings, Objets, Textiles. I Don't Have The Talent For Painting, But I Have A Very Good Sense Of Colour, A Love Of Visual Beauty.

I Consider Myself A Character Actress, And That's Working Out. I'm Getting Chances To Do Things. I Like The Process - I Don't Want To Pretend I'm Something Other Than What I Am.

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.

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 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.
