Jane Seymour Quotes

• [In 2015, on her long successful career following her big break in the James Bond film Live and Let Die (1973)] It wasn’t really hard to get roles directly after that. I met Renée Valente, who was a casting director at the time. And she said, “If you can lose your English accent, you would do very well in America.” I came to America with no work permit, no agent, nowhere really to live, and within six weeks I got my first role. I became labeled as the “queen of the mini-series” because I did one mini-series after another. Basically, I worked consistently and usually with a different American accent every time.
• Get over jet-lag quickly. I think a lot of people waste the first few days sleeping in the wrong time zone. Sometimes, I take melatonin, but at other times, a glass of wine will do it.
• After I had my first child, I stopped breastfeeding early because I had been told that there was a possibility that I might star in The Thorn Birds (1983), which I wanted more than life itself. I went to do the screen test and everything went great until we [Richard Chamberlain and I] did the love scene. I had stopped feeding for three weeks and unexpectedly my milk came in! I lifted myself up in my pink 1930s negligee, and it’s a wet T-shirt contest! I looked up and it was just terrible. There was a big puddle of white milk all over his bare chest. I mean a puddle. This was a serious incident. His reaction was not good. You just say, “What can you do?”.
• [on her looks] I had ordered long legs, but they never arrived. My eyes are weird too, one is gray and the other is green. I have a crooked smile and my nose looks like a ski slope. No, I would not win a Miss contest.
• You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life – so that if it were over tomorrow, you’d be content with yourself.

However, she escaped the curse by following the advice of casting director Renée Valente who told her to lose her English accent and acquire an American accent. Once she did that, she was able to work consistently on American television and winning the prestigious Emmy Award in 1988. She continues to act well into her sixties.
