Understanding human nature. Perception. That's how I see acting - perception and communication.
Juliette Lewis
Image
I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.
Juliette Lewis
Image
As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.
Juliette Lewis
Image
With movies and TV, storytelling, it's a different medium. I really love it, but I'm one part of many, many pieces of that puzzle and a lot of it is out of my control.
Juliette Lewis
Image
The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.
Juliette Lewis
Image
Art is the only thing that helps people stay alive, and it is the only thing that has allowed people to create joy in this insane, suppressive universe. And art is the only thing that they can't get rid of. They've tried, but ultimately they can't stamp it out.
Juliette Lewis
Image
I was like twelve or something, when you first kiss a guy and you see the way the guy reacts, how they get really excited, or whatever. And I'm perceptive, so I think, Ah, jeez, is that something that I'm able to do?

Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.

In acting, you have a writer, a director, a character - you're working through being another person - and the irony I always tell people is when I acted early on as a teenager, it actually kept me out of trouble.
Juliette Lewis
Image
My dad kept me away from people who treat children wrong. It's just amazing that there is such a way to raise a person without giving them complexes. But nobody does it. They think it should be the old school. But look at the products. Wouldn't it be great if you could avoid the complexes? Then you could deal with the complexes of life.

I collect clothes-they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.
Juliette Lewis
Image
My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

When I first started, I wrote some songs with Linda Perry. She's so instrumental in a lot of artist's lives, listening to you and then helping you write songs that are you, that bring the most of what you are out, whereas a lot of producers might put their stamp on you. I gained confidence because I'm less of a straight-up, traditional vocalist.

Being wild can be wearing a silly hat. Being wild can be dancing weird. Being wild can be shooting people. What do I think being wild is? Nothing. Actually, the whole world is wild. Everything is wild.

Sometimes I can be on a cloud and then two hours later feel really small.
Juliette Lewis
Image
I know what I'm doing. And I even know when I don't know what I'm doing. Then there are people who don't want to know that you know what you're doing.
Juliette Lewis
Image
I can write a song in the back of the bus, where I am right now, or in my living room, and I can perform it that night and have an instant reciprocal exchange - an emotional, impactful exchange - and it's a less technical medium. It's a pure expression from my soul to other souls.

All the musicians that I know want to act.

Image
I don't make an effort to be sloppy. I just don't consider a perfect hairdo and a perfect face to be beautiful. If I had my way I'd dress myself and do my own makeup for magazine shoots.
Juliette Lewis

Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.
