Billie Lourd Chats Acting & Her Mom While Modeling J Brand’s New Holiday Collection

Billie Lourd is the new face of J Brand. The young actress helped debut the brand’s current Holiday collection, where she also sat down for a brief chat about her career and mom, Carrie Fisher, as well. Highlights are below.

On acting: “Working on AHS and Scream Queens was kind of like the best acting school you could ever ask for, because I could just go to these legendary people’s trailers and ask, ‘What did you think of that scene? What would you do differently? Everyone was so open and so communicative that I learned so much, and I just really tried to use it like a second college.”

On her mom: “I feel like not only is my mom with me, she is me and I am her. I feel like I channel her every day; I try to be as eccentric and open and funny and as full of life as I can be. She used to say, ‘If life isn’t funny, then it’s just true, and that’s unacceptable.’ And that’s something I think about every day and that’s what I try to do: stay positive and enjoy every day. Be a yes person… to fun stuff, of course.”
