Image
Understanding human nature. Perception. That's how I see acting - perception and communication.
Juliette Lewis
Image
Nobody would ever think, Oh, get into acting so you can live the straight and narrow path, but it gave me a sense of discipline and focus.
Juliette Lewis
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
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
I collect clothes-they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.
Juliette Lewis
Image
Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.
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.
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
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?
Juliette Lewis
Image
My main objective was finding my individuality as a vocalist.
Juliette Lewis
Image
Adults are just children sometimes. But evil, hurt children.
Juliette Lewis
Image
What I get in rock 'n' roll that I don't get in movies is that connection with people. With music it's instantaneous, and just to watch people light up, it's really amazing. I love that connection.
Juliette Lewis
Image
As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.
Juliette Lewis
Image
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.
Juliette Lewis
Image
I made a joke with my sister... I said, I don't know what's more nerve-wracking, job insecurity or job security. There's opportunities and things you compromise with both. When I had endless freedom of schedule, or when I commit to a movie for two months, then I could manage my music and go on the road.
Juliette Lewis
Image
The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.
Juliette Lewis
Image
I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.
Juliette Lewis
Image
Success is a nice by-product but what I really want is work.
Juliette Lewis
Image
What's exciting to me is the live show medium itself it's the last untouchable medium. I don't think it will ever go away. It has gone on from the beginning of time with little performances around a campfire, I'd imagine, like cavemen doing some chants, rhythm, and sounds, beating on things.

I think I can be beautiful with all the little stuff done, and I can be ugly. A lot of attractive actresses can't be ugly.
