Because Julia's father was pretty lenient with rules, she started frequenting clubs at the age of 14, and she even became a part owner and investor of a nightclub at one point. However, by 18, she found herself feeling pretty burnt out by the club scene — especially after suffering a near-fatal overdose at 17. "Growing up in New York, you start going out really young," she explained to Paper. "I was 14 years old in clubs, you know? By the time I was 18, I was tired. It just got boring and repetitive. I already knew what the night would be like — it just wasn't fulfiling to me anymore. It was this really cheap thrill that I had become immune to."
Now at 29, Julia finds that — while she still enjoys going out and socialising — going to clubs is no longer something she enjoys. ". . . I really never go out unless it's an event or I have to," she continued. "I do enjoy myself. Sometimes I really have to push myself to socialise because I can tend to be reclusive and do the isolation thing, but I do love interacting and meeting cool people. I just find that anyone I've ever met at a club never really stayed in my life or impacted me in anyway. It's always been the people I met in the day."
