Juliette Lewis
Juliette Lewis was born on June 21, 1973, in Los Angeles, California. The city has a long association with the American film and television industries, and Lewis went on to build a career as both an actress and a musician rooted in that same national entertainment culture.
Her professional work spans film, television, and music. As a film and television actor, she has taken on roles across both formats, working in English throughout. Alongside that screen work, Lewis has also pursued a career as a singer and musician, with her musical output falling within the rock genre. That combination of acting and rock music gives her professional profile a dual character that sets her apart from performers who have stayed within a single discipline.
Lewis is a United States citizen, and the authorized form of her name in the Library of Congress Name Authority File is recorded as "Lewis, Juliette." That entry in a formal cataloguing system reflects how her work — across film, television, and rock music — has been documented as part of the broader record of American creative output.
Quotes by Juliette Lewis
Juliette Lewis's insights on:
When you say you grew up in Los Angeles, a lot of people think the west side: they think the glitz and all this stuff that I actually had no relationship to growing up.
Some of my greatest memories are of sleep-away camp; I did that three summers in a row when I was, like, 9,10, and 11.
I don't approach anything I do like an academic. I'm not trained, and I work with intuition a great deal.
My dad was lackadaisical on the discipline front. I dropped out of everything at school.
It always surprises me when people say, 'I don't regret one thing about my life. I wouldn't change anything because it's all led me to where I am today.' I would want to change certain things that have caused others pain.
My dad instilled in me to naturally question all authority. I don't follow anything blindly. That's religion, cops, doctors, schools, you name it.
All this primal energy people respond to in me and my characters is in my music, 10 times more.
