Working with Candy Bergen was really wonderful.
From Jacqueline Bisset
You can sometimes learn more working with less talented people, because you learn to survive.
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.
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 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.
Some people have said that I haven't got the parts I should've got because of the way I look.
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 grew up in a small town about 40 miles outside London, but it was a fairly cosmopolitan household.
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.
