More quotes by Juliette Lewis
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.
Juliette Lewis
My main objective was finding my individuality as a vocalist.
Juliette Lewis
I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.
Juliette Lewis
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
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
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.
Juliette Lewis
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
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.
Juliette Lewis
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.
Juliette Lewis
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
Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.
Juliette Lewis
As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.
Juliette Lewis
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
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
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
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
Being beautiful can be a curse, especially if you want to be an artist and create.
Juliette Lewis
My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.
Juliette Lewis
Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.
Juliette Lewis
The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.
Juliette Lewis
