Ask me anything.
We need to talk about it.
You don't have to phrase it in any particular way,
or worry about saying something non-PC.
Let's be real and talk about everything
to do with the freak.
a natural born freak – not as an insult
but as identity and power.
Freak, to me, is rarity. I see
people describing themselves as freaks
because they want to seem
less human. I use it to feel
more human. I love the bed of nails,
I like putting a nail up my nose,
that fine line between pleasure
and pain. I use my sense of touch,
I use my sense of hearing
to do aerials, hula hoops –
have you ever hooped?
Hold it behind your back with your hands tight,
turning little circles with your stomach.
Front, side, back, side; front, side, back, side.
Give it a bit of momentum;
you’ve got to fling it.

I've reclaimed the words – I ama natural born freak – not as an insult

Let’s talk about this idea
of what is beautiful, what is grotesque.
Beauty is absolute awareness of experience.
It's a dangerous idea.
It's a dangerous idea.
People don’t dare ask me about love
and relationships, if I’m really honest.
Nothing is more dangerous
than falling in love.
