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.

More quotes by Juliette Lewis
The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.
Juliette Lewis
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
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 collect clothes-they keep building and building. I buy them instead of having them washed.
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
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 knew I could live no other way, that the one thing I wanted was to act and do it well.
Juliette Lewis
I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.
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 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
Understanding human nature. Perception. That's how I see acting - perception and communication.
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
My focus, my life, my world is now. You just can't plan the future.
Juliette Lewis
All the musicians that I know want to act.
Juliette Lewis
My main objective was finding my individuality as a vocalist.
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
As early as when I was five or six I wanted to perform.
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
Because I'm not perfect looking, I get to play better roles.
Juliette Lewis
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
