Juliette Lewis on being female in rock and roll: 'I'm the oddity at the freak show'Rock star Juliette Lewis has revealed that she has always felt a little different. Speaking to the Rolling Stone, she admitted that being a woman in music is different to begin with but being in the rock and roll world only amplifies that: "I always liken myself to the bearded lady. Because I'm an actress turned musician, a woman doing male-dominated rock & roll... I'm the oddity at the freak show, you know?" Lewis confessed that it took her a while to get going and she started her band just before her 30th birthday: "I think in my late 20s, I was starting to enter that realm of complacency, which is the most terrifying place I can imagine as an artist. I felt time creeping up on me. And from as far back as I could remember, I had always intended to be musical, and to be a songwriter and a performer. So the fact that I hadn't done it at that point was disconcerting, like, 'Holy s**t! I've gotta try to regain all that I am in my creative self!'"
