There’ll always be that prep in me that I can’t seem to get rid of.
The umlaut isn’t on my birth certificate. I had this book as a child called Chloe and Maude, and there was an umlaut on the e, and I said, I want that! It’s a little flair. Just to confuse people even more.
The media loves negative spin.
I wish I could take back every interview. Over and over again, I read them later, and either I’m misquoted or I said something stupid. I’m just not very good at it.
People always come up to me and say, Oh, you’re Chloe Se-VIG-ny, right? Sevigny. Number seven, letter e.
My mum’s advice is never to whine to my friends, so they never see the other side of me. I save all my problems for my mother.
The film industry is so fickle about financing, and it’s so difficult to get movies made.
In Hollywood, you can’t say anything bad about anybody or everyone is going to attack you.
I’m more conservative with make-up. My everyday look is a bit of concealer with lots and lots of mascara.
I think once you’re past 30 you shouldn’t wear a lot of glitter.
I think it’s just a lot more pressure to make the scenes work when you’re doing a film, because when you’re doing a series you feel like, I have so many scenes, so many episodes, so if I don’t get it exactly right this time, I have another scene later. You feel less pressure.
I always like my trailer or hotel room to have fresh flowers or pillows I find at a local flea market – anything to personalize the environment.
I’m definitely a lash girl. I feel they are my best feature. I have tried lots of mascaras. I was drawn to Lancome Doll Lashes recently. Not only because of the name, but it smells like roses! I usually add a few coats of it for a night out.
I have the insecurities of any actress, I suppose of any woman. Even the most beautiful ones feel unhappy. Look at Bardot: she was suicidal. But I like to play with the camera. I like to ham it up.
The first time I went to therapy, I had to stop going because they were making me hate my parents.
My room was a real way of expressing myself. It was like a little nest that I could settle into.
I’m frugal. It’s often cheaper to take the subway. And I’m an environmentalist, which my mother instilled in me, so I really believe in public transportation. And finally, I love the proximity to people in the subway.
It’s a great thing, for someone to feel that they can draw inspiration from you.
I was very troubled, yes. Me and my brother both – we were troubled and troublemakers.
I don’t like to read about myself, whether it be positive or negative.
