'If I had gotten that level of fame at 20 or 21, I don’t think I’d be alive today.' - JuliaFox
It may seem as if Julia Fox appeared out of nowhere, but before she turned heads in the Safdie brothers’ manic thriller, the 31-year-old was already a known entity in New York City. Fox, who moved there when she was a child, is distinctly a product of the city, the type of person who both shapes and is shaped by it. She has been a clothing designer, a model, a painter, a photographer, and even, at one time, a dominatrix.
DORFMAN: My experiences with you in the early days were so fundamental. We didn’t spend a lot of time together, but it helped me come out of my skin during that time. It was a time when I didn’t want to be social. I felt like the ugliest, grossest, and saddest. When we met, I was 21 and confused about what my life was.DORFMAN: I loved you guys, but I was so intimidated. It was realy hard for me to be social, and you guys are still, I think, the epitome of New York cool.
FOX: It’s like taking a comb through your whole life and anything extra and unnecessary falls to the wayside. It’s really, really nice. I value my time so much more because I have so little of it. It’s very humbling to know that this little baby is the boss of me. He decides what we do all the time. It does come very naturally to me because I’ve always had this maternal instinct of, you know, taking in stragglers off the street.
FOX: I know! It’s like, when will I ever be satisfied? When will it be enough? I think that’s what makes successful people. You’re always striving for more. I’m grateful I’m in this position, but I don’t want to linger in it. I can’t get comfortable. I need to keep my eye on it and not forget why I started. I can’t forget who I am and the messages that I want to spread, because it’s easy to.FOX: If it doesn’t serve you just let it go. Don’t try to make things work that are not working.
DORFMAN: Putting it out there! I want to work with the Safdies, and I want to do an indie where we’re all living in a house together in North Carolina.
