Quote

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.

I knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.

Dreams, they're what sets us apart from being mere a brain and a body.
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
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 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
As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.
Juliette Lewis
Image
My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.

Image
Understanding human nature. Perception. That's how I see acting - perception and communication.
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.

Success is a nice by-product but what I really want is work.

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 collect clothes-they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.
Juliette Lewis

All the musicians that I know want to act.
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 kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.
Juliette Lewis
Image
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.

Sometimes I can be on a cloud and then two hours later feel really small.

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.

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.

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.
