Chloe Sevigny Quotes

• It’s hard to encapsulate my inspiration because there are so many different looks, but I think it’s just like, s*xy girl you see walking down the street in a cool outfit. A lot of eyelet, a lot of leather, playing with the hard and the soft, the good and bad inside of us all.

• When I get a fringe, it’s because I’m bored or need a change; I always regret it!

  Chloe Sevigny

• There’s this index that tallies up how much your movies have made, and if they haven’t grossed a certain amount, then you’re not bankable. I know I’m not Will Smith but, you know, my ranking’s pretty low. The only studio picture I’ve done is ‘Zodiac,’ and that didn’t perform that well.

  Chloe Sevigny

• There’ll always be that prep in me that I can’t seem to get rid of.

  Chloe Sevigny

• 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 other day I got a text from a boy, but it wasn’t hot. I mean, if you’re going to text me every day, you haven’t seen me for months and you’re trying to seduce me, you’d better spice up that text and make it more exciting than ‘How was your day? I hope you’re having a beautiful one.’ Sadly, I haven’t been doing a lot of kissing lately.

  Chloe Sevigny

• My first job was in sixth grade, sweeping the clay tennis courts at the yacht club near my house, which I was not a member of. Always had to pay my own rent. But I don’t really have any concept of how money works. I don’t know how much things cost. Like a BMW. Or a quart of milk. It’s embarrassing.

  Chloe Sevigny

• Muse. Mu-se. It’s a great thing, for someone to feel that they can draw inspiration from you. And I don’t think it’s necessarily a man ‘taking’ from a woman. It can go both ways, both can stimulate, excite.

  Chloe Sevigny

• Most of the models have this thing I call slouchy s*xy, not only in the way they dress, but in the way carry themselves. I don’t think they would look hot in one of my dresses. They are more into A. Wang. Most of my clothes are nerdy s*xy.

  Chloe Sevigny

• Most of the kids I hang out with in New York are hipster arty types, but I like a stronger, more physically imposing man – like a lumberjack.

  Chloe Sevigny
