Chloë Sevigny on Acting Opposite Lady Gaga, the Anti-Vaccination Movement, and the Eroticism of Vampires
she's not giving away any accidental spoilers about this season of American Horror Story
Okay, because the American Horror Story vampires don't have fangs, they can day-walk ...
I think they didn't want to do a night schedule! [Laughs.] For True Blood, half the series was shot at night. It's just so hard on the crew. Logistics were informing a lot of the creative decisions! In Coppola's Dracula, wasn't Gary Oldman walking around in London during the day, too? I was hoping we'd have fangs because I'm a classic vampire lover, so I was hoping to get to be able to do the classic bloodsucking on the neck. There's something very sexy about that. And I kind of got to do something like that with Gaga, a little bit on the chest, minus the fangs. There was an eroticism to it that I liked. It's that intoxication, and the turning, when she dies and wakes up and has this new life coursing through her veins.
And Lady Gaga was super generous. She was really excited to do that, and I got to feed off of her energy. Because Ryan prefers to use practical effects, we had the guys pumping the blood off-camera. [Laughs.] Seeing all the trickery is kind of fun. You know, I thought Gaga and I would be less in cahoots. I think it will be further revealed what we have in common as we become closer, and kind of allies.
Because Alex shares her "virus" to try to save the boy with measles, now the vampire virus has spread like wildfire among all these children. You could read all these things into it about the anti-vaccination movement, but there's also the sense that this is just the beginning. The Countess does not want her children creating more children.
Alex decides rather rashly to put a couple drops of her blood in his IV to resurrect him, and obviously does more than that. And she kind of guiltily leaves, knowing she didn't exactly do the right thing. In every classic vampire story, there's this truism that the head vampire has to teach his or her children, and there's a transition period. She doesn't want to give that responsibility to others because they won't handle it as tactfully as she would. For however many years she's been alive, she's probably had that situation happen before, and maybe we'll see that in a flashback. I can't imagine this is the first time it's gotten away from her.
