Juliette Lewis (2016)

Any scene with Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid. I mean... they're both icons. I loved filming all the family stuff. I'm glad so many people enjoy it every year.

That was me! I was doing a dare that my director Henry Joost dared me to sing in a public place. It was at the Arclight. And even though I do this professionally, nobody knew I was doing this and it was absolutely mortifying. Glad your friend was there to witness it!

Thanks for pulling my accurate quotes on the subject! You nailed it. :)

Sending you a cyber-hug and good vibes...

Everything you would ever hope it to be. She's down to earth, funny, and she's mesmerizing to act next to. She shows you how you can maintain grace and integrity in such a silly business.

1,000% think it was ahead of it's time. that's the brilliance of Oliver Stone at his best. He holds up a mirror to some really nasty elements. That movie was special in how he was shining a light on media sensationalism. I still think Killer's suicide notes, faces, and names should not be printed or put on magazines. Of course, we were doing a really broad version of that idolization.

Thank you so much for your love! I play my first show July 28th in LA at the Fonda Theater with a new band that is my dream band. We're playing some old Licks sons but a lot of new songs. The Licks was a very specific guitar driven rock, My new music is more blues inspired and inspired by The Kinks, The Zombies. I'm touring all over the US. I promise you'll love it.

I think so! At the time I had never seen journalists be so mad. I wish you would have been there at the press junket with me and Woody. They HATED us! That was the magic of Oliver Stone-- he was directly antagonizing them and every journalist I talked to was greatly offended.

That movie was so fun. It was mine and Brad's first characters that were totally different from ourselves. The director, Domenic Sena, it was his first big movie. He went on to do huge movies like Gone In 60 Seconds and he gave us a lot of freedom with dialogue and with our mannerisms.

Validate your instincts and encourage truing new things in a take. I'm sorta anti-repetition. I like living dangerously though my characters which means doing things in a fresh, exciting, pure way.

A story that really resonates and that I haven't seen before. That's what Nerve was to me when I first read it. A really fresh and exciting take on our social media culture.

It's called "Life Loves You" by Louise Hay and Robert Holden. I love all kinds of spiritual self-help books. Especially as I get older. I wanna read "The Happiness Project" next.

The funny thing about me is I'll go to the deepest, darkest places to be as honest as possible to find a truth within a character in the scene, but I'm not big into wanting to change my body and feeling unhealthy. For Natural Born Killers, I learned street fighting, shooting every kind of gun, and I love learning new skills. And for Secrets and Lies (coming out September on ABC) I interviewed detectives because I play a detective. I love studying for a role.

Janis Joplin. Watch the documentary Little Girl Blue and you will know why she was a one of kind force in male-dominated rock 'n roll at the time. And she had so much powerful and good energy. And was quite a character. I relate to her because she was in a band for a long time. But normally I don't like to play actual, living people. Too much pressure.

Totally liberating. I consider Scorsese the man who gave me my creative wings in that he let me try things totally different each time and encourages me when I needed it. Which is everything for a young artist.

That Gap commercial was so fun because Daft Punk was so new. I've since seen them on the road when I was touring with my band, Yes, I've seen them out of costume and they are so bad ass and originators of great music.

iTunes and go to JulietteLewis.com.

It is my dream to be discovered and someone make me and Teddy into cartoons. And I will of course voice the characters. Please tell someone.

Zach Galafanakis in Due Date. He was the only actor I could not keep a straight face off-camera when he was doing his take. I was already a crazy fan of his and the to work with him in person he's just so beyond and special. Louis C.K. of course is the same in a whole other way. But I gotta say Rodney Dangerfield is a huge highlight and he would be telling jokes in between me pretending to murder him.

Hey! You sound like me! I'm doing pretty good. After this I'm going to band practice and I love my rhythm section. Actually, I love everyone in my band so that makes signing and playing music really fun. Although, I do tend to stress out before a show. Thanks for asking! Have a beautiful day. Drink lots of iced tea.

I fucking love Woody. Every time we see each other, it's like seeing someone you were in combat with He's a really, really special, courageous, out there dude. No I didn't see Rampart, I gotta see it!

Not yet, but I a playing some of our songs from the Terra Incognita in the JLUS Tour dates. I am lucky enough to be playing with bass player, Juan Alderete from Mars Volta. So come to a show!

The best? It's crazy because I've been so fortunate to work wth some of the most passionate, down to earth inspired individuals. from George Clooney, Leo DiCaprio, Oliver Stone, Kathryn Bigelow, Lasse Hallstorm, Uma Thurman, Robert De Niro, I could go on and on.
The worst types of people... of course I will not name names, are those who sit in some delusional rarified air of entitlement. It's something my parents raised me without and something I've fought to avoid.

Here's a fun story you may not have heard of. I was in a full Jimi Hendrix & Steve Miller Band phase at 15 so she we were on the Warner Brothers Lot, in between shoots I was rocking rocking out Purple Haze.

Anything with butter. I probably need to go to 12 step for butter or Butter Anonymous. European butter is the best! The farming is more natural and organic.

Working with all the actors in the film toward the end of the movie. I can't say what the scene is, it'll give the plot away. I just loved working with people who are inspired, good at their job and who are really giving their best. That was Emma Roberts, Emily Mead, Miles Heizer, and Samira Wiley that night.

How twisted is that? No, they have not approached me again and I've heard it's a pretty dark game. Would I want to play other video games? sure! It was to follow my criteria of coolness and amazingness.

I'm gonna say watching a movie in The Hollywood Forever cemetery. They'll play movies like Grease. It's such an event you can bring wine and food and friends.

I gotta say, any time I see joy and curiosity in a person's face when they tell me how I affected them through a live performance, song or movie, it lights up my life and I am so proud of both but probably music because I did that all on my own without any big business and I wrote the songs and everything is an extension of my creative voice.

Your guess is as good as mine, but I think the longing to be set free of his home-bound responsibilities.

I'm a big lover and believer of walking in nature. I really love going to places without cars and taking in trees, the flowers. In LA there's nice places like Griffith Park and strolling in the neighborhood with my parter ad dogs. It's the simple things.

I wanted The Kenneths to open up. They're from London, but they couldn't do it. I don't know an opener yet. You have to come to a show. Everyone who does always leave elated. Haha! Me especially. Here are the dates: juliettelewis.com/live - The set is so good its a mix of ferocious rockers, dance shit, and blues.

My dad, who never gave advice, once told me "Take your foot off the gas when you're going downhill." Another one was "Always give a really firm handshake and look the person in the eye."

I gotta say, I mentioned a lot of amazing actors in other answers but Robert De Niro and the scenes we did in Cape Fear will always go down as the most electric and transcendental.

I never discriminate, I'm always looking for new exciting directors to work with and fresh stories to tell, both big and small. And I felt Hellion was that and I loved working with Aaron Paul and director Kat Candler.

I remember me and Johnny used to listen to the Pixies together. I really liked making that movie. Johnny remains super unique, down to earth, and true to himself. I respect that.

I think you're really gonna love Nerve. Bring your friends! Hahahaha

You're not going to believe this, but yearly, I kind of kick myself for not saving my scripts from Natural Born Killers, Cape Fear, Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, with my personalized notes, lines I had made up, because at the time at 19 I had no idea how meaningful these things would be and when I was moving my apartment, I just threw them away. To answer your question, I have some pictures that are cool.

I'm so excited to say the second season is finally airing on ABC on September 25th! I love this cast. It's all super dramatic and unpredictable. Thanks for your interest. Have a beautiful day!

Italy totally blew my mind. In Milan our crowd sang the most songs back to us and were off the charts wild. I have to do more shows in Italy and will next year!

Wow! I so appreciate you saying that! That's really sweet. I love Barry's Bootcamp. But honestly, I gotta say youth is from the inside and I find as I get older I still work on letting go of and/or accepting pain as a part of life and try to nurture and give love and light. As cliched as that sounds, it's real. If that translates to looking young, so be it, but that's not my intention.

The Other Sister that Garry Marshall directed is super close to my hear. The role was the most challenging I've ever played and had so much purity and goodness of heart. And I took it after a two-year break from show business. Garry Marshall was one of the kindest most loving directors who just wanted to make everyone feel good. He will be missed.

You're welcome! Enjoy the movie. Have a beautiful day. :)

Hi Katie! You're making me laugh. The best wrap party was From Dusk 'Til Dawn. It's caught on video in the documentary Full Tilt Boogie. Basically I did karaoke and I sang "What's Going On." We all danced and sang and drank and were merry of course.

Get the fuck out of the house! Haha I was a weirdo, but I always loved my parents.

Well I didn't cast them but if I had that power I would have. Their chemistry is perfect. It was fun to watch dave be super charming but a little bit dangerous at the same time. And Emma does a beautiful job playing the slightly repressed Vee who finds her wings and enters a world of danger.

Barry's Boot Camp. I live for and love the Barry's Bootcamp workout. They trainers are the best. The music is really good. I like Prodigy, Outkast, Diplo, anything super beat driven.
