Chloë Sevigny mentions Morrissey-solo in interview

Chloë's world - The Guardian

Excerpt:

...It's disarming how readily she will sell herself short. Her allure hinges on the easy-going confidence she clearly has in spades and which makes those around her feel more relaxed simply for being in her vicinity.

You can tell she enjoys herself: she laughs readily, and has a nice line in humorous mannerisms - lowering her face, then looking up with raised eyebrows to express disapproval, or opening her eyes and mouth extravagantly wide to register outrage.

But there's an undercurrent of insecurity that manifests itself in anecdotes that often end with her being ignored or humiliated, such as a story about a Morrissey fansite that lays into her whenever she is seen at one of the singer's shows.

"They always make fun of me," she says sadly. "They hate me, they're really nasty." Last Halloween, she dressed as Joan of Arc from the Smiths song Bigmouth Strikes Again, complete with Walkman. "Except that the Sony ones are really hard to find, so I had a Panasonic. And on the website, they said, 'Oh, a Panasonic isn't really a Walkman.' They're such nit-pickers."

She went to see Morrissey play in Miami recently, and saw the website's manager by the hotel pool. "I tried to engage him in civilised conversation - you know, love your enemies - but I don't think he was interested." She collapses in embarrassed laughter...

I really like Chloe Sevigny, she challenges the average young Hollywood actress and chooses great film roles like Kids, Dogville, etc. And even better, she likes moz

        She should remember that a little thing called jealousy is almost always to blame for hateful comments against people in her situation. Especially with genuine artists like herself.

          I won't hear a word against Chloe. As well as being in perhaps the best independent film of the last decade, "The Last Days Of Disco", she's also starring in my favourite TV show, "Big Love". I don't quite understand why people here get so uptight about her. She's clearly a huge Smiths/Morrissey fan.

          It's funny how so many posters complain about how Morrissey should be more popular, and yet, when someone famous makes comments about how much they like Morrissey, those same people get their backs up.

          it always amazes me how much keyboard bravado people have on these and other posting boards - not that there's anything necessarily above criticism - i guess it's just a bit upsetting how relentless people can behave behind a veil of anonymity.

          i'm just glad the internet and social networking sites and the like weren't around when i was growing up.

                    MOrrissey would like me to tell you his hate for you equals his hate for iams. I'm writing this to say in a gentle way- you are an idiot and morrissey will never embrace you as he has put his arms around julia as long as you shun and entice me to write to you and deplore your nasty ways.
                i know you only posted this report about chloe to raise your attributes in the esteem of people who will go figure you are so fair and self-endowing with a real nice vision. although evident to everyone but your askew view will be how you are not. It was easy for morrissey to quickly come out with that composition denouncing the NME recently because the skeleton frame was first drafted in defiance of your nastiness game. I hope you moderators remember the proverb of applying moderation even in moderation. THis post requires exception be made to expose what this site censors so much of the time- any dissent.

                        how wrong morrissey's name looks on a site controlled by your pettiness.

                        ihav seen several remarkably harsh comments about Chloë Sevigny on here though, even if the one she mentioned in particular was from Perez Hilton's site (hilarious that davidt was picky enough to look up the actual reference). im not sure why people hold so much venom for her.

                        ihav no real opinion of her. idont think ive seen anything shes done. ihavnt seen her oft criticised role in that moive with Vincent Gallo, but iam a fan of Gallo's music and other films ive seen him in- im sure its at least interesting enough to be worthwhile and idont hava problem with the scene that has garnered such infamy. im sure shes likely a very nice girl.

                          I think it’s so wonderful that everyone here is now appreciating Chloe for being the wonderful actress she is and such a sweet warm person, and she’s Morrissey fan too. That’s so rad. So totally rad, isn’t it. And David met her. I mean Gosh wow, that’s so like rad. She’s so fine, she’s delectable. How much more cool can it be Chloe and Moz, it’s like so hip and rad. I love that he is called Moz, I want to be called Toz. But this Chloe is so wonderful, liking Moz and being such a rad actress and all. I mean I was so entranced and aloof with the thought of her being this larger than life Moz fan and all, that I couldn’t contain myself and I just had to slither upstairs with my cordless phone outside this woman’s room and proceed to rub my penis on her door and wall and floor. Because I yearned to insert my manhood into Chloe’s vagina and wiggle it until it got stuck. Can haha. I was fit to be tied because well I am the son of Satan and I make things happen. I was on my cordless phone licking up pubic hair from the floor outside her apartment that I dropped there on purpose so when she came home today in my hope and glory step on them with her shoes and drag me pubic hairs into her room. She would not know what hit her. I was in dismay and disillusionment to find and capture one of my pubic hairs outside her door. I was roaring. Can haha. I like to do this while she is inside because it upsets her and then I talked to her door to make her crazy cause I like to it’s fun. She wouldn’t let me in so I eavesdropped while she was speaking on the phone, as she keeps going on about that picutre of Morrissey’s buttocks, she keeps telling her friend who looks like a chocken, the one that does not like Morrissey, well she keeps tellimng her friend that Morrissey’s ass turns her on and makes her want to have sex. I don’t understand because I think I have a nice butt. and now I am crying in a stream of jealousy knowing she is still fantasizing about having a good shag or a night in the bed with Morrissey. I am beside myself, I have my tail between my legs. Can haha I want drugs. I want to be floating and I want to go fishing with my boxers off to masturbate on the fish in the cold black water. I am going to beat myself at my own game. Can haha. I am tempted to eradicate my spermazowa on the fishing boat but I’d rather opt to go back into the hall and masturbate on the rug. It’s fun I like to, My penis is extra soft at the moment. This woman is being very snooty , snooty indeed. I am Lucifer and my bowels are dilled with jelly egg dize hemorrhoids and each one is throbbing at the thought of Chloe. I make things happen, Beelzebub is my great uncle and I have his penis on my key chain for luck. I have powers I like to make things happen. I like to torture the woman upstairs for no reason. I tell her it’s day when it’s night and that it is sunny when it snows so she will go out and slip. it’s fun, I like it. I want to eat snausages. I want to proclaim that Satan is the almighty and show you all his name emblazoned on my anus just like Morrissey did. I wonder if Chloe would like it. I think she would because I am Satan and I make things happen Can haha.

                            Sevigny is a huge Morrissey fan and once remarked, "His manager saw me on the tour in Boston and told me, ‘I said to Morrissey, “That girl Chloé is there.” Morrissey said, “You mean the model?”’ And I wanted to kill myself that he thinks I’m a model, not an actress. God. That’s disappointing.”
