How to Be a Freak

Hi, I’m Julia Fox, and today, we are going to learn how to unleash your inner freak. Let’s begin. My definition of a freak is someone who is unapologetically themselves. They’ve already figured out that they’re different, but they are no longer trying to hide it. I think part of being a freak is being delusional. It is being aggressive, because you have to make space in a world that is not built for you. Lesson 1: I think spend a lot of time alone. Really figure out who you are and feel comfortable being alone. A lot of time, it really does start with clothes, because clothes are signaling into the world of who we are. And some people won’t get it, but someone else might be like, ‘Oh, the shoes, she gets it.’ Going to places, going to shows, whether it’s an art show or a music show, and not just because everyone else is doing it. It has to actually resonate with you. I probably really came into my inner freak in middle school. That was when I started to meet other people who were also the weird catgirls that meow on the table. You didn’t have any catgirls? Oh, my god. I had a lot of catgirls in my school. I think the worst thing you can do as a freak is pretend. Take the mask off. Be yourself. [MUSIC PLAYING]
