Juliette Lewis: My fans make me cry

11th October 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Juliette Lewis enjoys being treated like Elvis Presley.

The 37-year-old actress admits the passion of her fans sometimes brings tears to her eyes, and reminds her of the fervour shown towards the American singing legend. Juliette believes she has such a large fan base due to her ability to emotionally tap into her audience.

I have this connection with my audience that has been so powerful over the years. I run into people in airports and on the streets and they treat me like Im Elvis, she told the Chicago Sun-Times. It brings me to tears because all I ever wanted to do in life is move people emotionally. If I can serve as a catalyst in some little way by playing these parts, then thats exciting for me.

Juliette, who is also a solo singer, is currently recovering after a car accident last week left her with bruising and pain in her back and neck.

She is now enjoying spending some time at home, which is the place she loves the most.

Im an L.A. girl, born and raised there, but now I live in an uncool part of town with beautiful trees, she admitted. I love suburbia because its quiet. I dont even get cell phone reception and I love it. All I want to do is live a quiet, peaceful life with my family in California.

In her new film Conviction, Juliette plays a woman who gets her former boyfriend sent to jail. (C) Cover Media
