I have so much admiration for people who devote their life to the church, ... I was quite inspired by Clara. I was inspired by her drive to do good, by her willingness to sacrifice herself and her body. How inspired she was inspired me.
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.
People always come up to me and say, Oh, you're Chloe Se-VIG-ny, right? Sevigny. Number seven, letter e.
I think to be a true style icon, you just have to dress yourself. There are so many actresses floating around who have people picking out their outfits for them; that's hard for me to wrap my head around or celebrate.
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.

I was really shocked at myself for signing on without knowing where it was gonna go, or much of anything else.
I love acting and I love cinema more than anything,
We got along really well, thank God. We'd go out at night to parties and stuff, and hang out together.
It's not really about disco. It's about these characters that the movie revolves around and their relationships with each other and it's more about the dialogue.
In Hollywood, you can't say anything bad about anybody or everyone is going to attack you.
