Chloe Sevigny

Read an interview with Chloe Sevigny today in a fashion mag, and it's nice to see she is still relatively candid and uncensored, despite more than a decade as a movie star. She managed to intelligently dis a few other celebs, including Nicole Ritchie, Fergie ( the singer), and the cast of Will and Grace, and, while gushing about how wonderful 'Big Love' is, managed to let slip that her movie career has suffered because of the tough shooting schedule. She also mentioned her publicist is often pissed off at her, and admitted to Marc Jacobs, who conducted the interview, that the reason she has been dressing more conventionally recently is that she is trying to play the Hollywood game a little bit. I also liked her bit about not having any actor friends, except for Natasha Lyonne, and trying without success to get said friends to accompany to her to various pointless Hollywood events. I was happy to see she hasn't mellowed, sold out or had her spirit crushed by the soulless H'wood PR machine, while at the same time admitting she plays the game to a degree. She also confirmed she is still one of the most film-literate young American actresses Most of the time actors cite 'their character' as their only motivation. It's all about the role, or maybe the script, at most. Rarely do they mention the director or other actors. Probably because their agent is the one that decides for them.

On another note, I head home to Halifax for X-mas tomorrow, and I am sort of dreading it. I really don't do Christmas.
