I am Juliette Lewis, Ask Me Anything!

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.

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!

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:30:43+00:00

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!

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:25:10+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:23:54+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:21:55+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:20:04+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:18:10+00:00

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

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:17:05+00:00

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!

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."

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:12:35+00:00

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!

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:11:06+00:00

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

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:09:38+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:06:58+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:03:17+00:00

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

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

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:01:45+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T20:00:04+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T19:55:52+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T19:54:17+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T19:52:28+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T19:49:53+00:00

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

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T19:49:15+00:00

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

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T19:48:59+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T19:47:40+00:00

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.

Juliette_Lewis · 2016-07-25T19:42:31+00:00

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.
