Juliette Lewis: I'd live through anything

9th January 2012

Juliette Lewis would be able to "find the joy" in anything that happened to her.

The 38-year-old actress appreciates the way her profession allows her to transform.

Gaining insight into other people's lives through acting enlivens Juliette.

"There's no circumstance I feel that I wouldn't be able to live through and find the joy in," the actress told ET Online. "I like to bring the craft to anything I play and the fact I don't know what's going to happen next, is interesting. It makes acting challenging again in a whole new way."

Juliette looks toward the future, but the star admits that there are a few roles she would like to portray afresh.

"There's some movies I'd like to try again to do what I didn't the first time. Like deepen the performance," she explained. "But I would have to say Adele from [1993 thriller] Kalifornia. I loved her. She dies at the end, and that always made me sad. Maybe we could give her a new ending. I wanted her to live so much. She was tragedy incarnate, wrapped in this little bow. I always saw her as having the mentality of a nine year old who lived through tragic circumstances. I'm always attracted to that kind of dichotomy."

Juliette enjoys her more light-hearted roles too. The actress has most recently starred in comedic viral internet series Sh*t Girls Say and is thrilled with its success.

"I had no idea that it would get so big. Honestly, who expected that to go crazy viral," Juliette gushed. "By the way, I love that medium - especially as an independent musician. I am loving finding new opportunities within this business where I can have fun."

Juliette's new television show The Firm premiered in America on Sunday.
