Chloe Sevigny Talks ‘American Horror Story: Asylum’
Chloe Sevigny Talks American Horror Story: Asylum
— November 7th, 2012
American Horror Story is one of the few shows on the air where fans will be treated to a new cast of characters each season. This year, the show moved to the East Coast insane asylum Briarcliff, where one of the patients is the nymphomaniac Shelley, played by Chloë Sevigny. The actress recently held a conference call to discuss her role on American Horror Story: Asylum, which continues with "I Am Anne Frank" Wednesday, November 7 at 10 PM ET on FX. The actress first discussed what drew her to the show.
"I guess it was having watched the first season and just being a fan of the show. I just thought it was so rich, the production design and costumes and how much detail went into it and I just thought it was wildly entertaining. I was hoping the second season would be as much so. I didn't get to read any scripts prior to signing on, so I was kind of going in on blind faith hoping that it would be what I wanted it to be and it's proven so."
She also revealed that the wealth of female characters in the asylum was also a selling point.
"I think with this season, he's exploring different things from the first like you said before. I think there's a lot of really good characters, how women are accused of being this, that, and the other thing. I think it's like they're wildly represented in the season. As a woman, as a female viewer I like that pitch."
The actress talked about the shocking revelation that Shelley lost both of her legs on the operating table, and the challenges that brings to her performance.
"I think she's pretty pissed off. I think she feels pretty helpless and I think in the beginning you kind of like not so much rooting for her. You think she's this bad girl and then see her helping Evan's character and ... character trying to escape and you realize that she's pretty selfless in that regard. I think after she gets in the clutches of the evil doctor, I think you're then kind of more rooting for her and hoping that she can escape or find a way out. So I think the character goes through a lot. The audience goes through a lot with the character. The prosthetic pieces that they put on made it impossible to straighten my legs, so I had to keep my legs bent all day and I had to be wheeled around in a wheelchair and I was feeling quite helpless. It was a strange feeling to have to need assistance to do lots of different things. And that was probably the most challenging part, feeling kind of helpless in that way. "
Shelley is diagnosed as a nymphomaniac, although the actress herself doesn't exactly believe there is such an affliction.
"I don't know if people truly are addicted to that. There's so much talk about it as of late. I think that she was a little wild and her husband had it within his power to commit her and I think kind of once she's in there, she kind of goes with it to come to who she is and how she identifies herself. So I think that she probably yes really likes sex. All the reaction, I don't know if she's quite a real nymphomaniac."
She also teased that Arden (James Cromwell) has some intriguing plans in store for Shelley.
"I guess it's kind of under wraps, but yes, he transforms her into something else. I don't how much more dialogue I have. There's lots of gurgling. You see her transformed into something, something not so pleasant to look at."
The actress also said she surprised herself during an early scene where she touches herself during a fight at the asylum.
"I found myself like during that scene where Kit is fighting in the first episode, like her being turned on by the violence. Like oh my God I'm really like going for it with this part, so I guess I surprised myself in that sense, in that scene."
You can watch Chloë Sevigny as the nymphomaniac Shelley in American Horror Story: Asylum, which continues with "I Am Anne Frank" Wednesday, November 7 at 10 PM ET on FX.

DS TECHEETAH HEADS TO MONACO TO EXTEND ITS CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD
The ninth round of the ABB FIA Formula E 2018/2019 Season sets sail in Monaco on 11 May 2019. DS TECHEETAH enter the round as championship leaders for the Teams, with drivers André Lotterer and Jean-Éric Vergne in second and sixth place respectively in the Drivers' championship.
The famous Monaco circuit plays host to the all-electric street racing series for the third time in championship history. The two DS E-TENSE FE19 Gen2 cars will battle it out with the 20 other Gen2 cars on an adapted street circuit in the municipality across 12 turns and 1,765 km.
Mark Preston, DS TECHEETAH Team Principal: “We head to Monaco seven points ahead of our nearest rival so it’s still a very close championship order. Both of our drivers are in a good position for the drivers’ title and André also is current leader of the voestalpine European races.
“We’re once again in a fortunate position to be leading the Teams’ championship and be in the mix for the Drivers’ one, and it’s all down to our incredible team. In all my years in motorsport, I’ve never seen a group of people this passionate and dedicated. We may be a small team, but we’re a very efficient one.”
Xavier Mestelan Pinon, DS Performance Director: “We’re in the middle of a very intense part of the season right now. We’re working at full speed on the development of the season six and seven powertrain whilst competing at the forefront of season five. We’re currently leading the Teams’ championship and we want to fight in Monaco to keep this intact. At that stage in the season, the battle is very close, and all the points matter. We are here to win the titles.”
André Lotterer #36: “I’m super excited to drive the DS E-TENSE FE19 around the Monaco track for the first time this week. I’ve lived in Monaco since 2012 but I’ve never raced here so that will be a first. It will be amazing to wake up at home, have a coffee on the balcony and then walk down to the track, it’s not many times in your career you get to do that. “I’m incredibly motivated to have a good result in Monaco. I’ve had two second places now so it’s time to turn that into a first place. As a driver, winning is all that you think about. You live and breathe it so being close yet so far really triggers you to wanting it even more and I will give it all I got. It’s all about every single little point as the championship is a numbers game in the end of the day and we can’t take any gambles.”
Jean-Éric Vergne, #25: “With five races to go, it’s getting really exciting now. With eight different winners in eight races, anything is possible. Monaco is a track I enjoy driving and it helps that I’ve driven here before. Just like the Grand Prix circuit, the Formula E circuit is super tricky to overtake on so it will be as important as ever to qualify well. All my focus will be on putting it all together to ensure I grid at the top.”
