Since 1978, Playboy has run their "20Q" feature where they've asked everyone from Al Pacino to Bettie Page 20 questions about their work and personal life. The latest person on the hot seat is actress and designer Chloë Sevigny. In a rather candid but playful interview for the January issue of the magazine (accompanied by the above photo), Sevigny breaks down everything that the media has pegged her for, including that infamous scene with Vincent Gallo in 2003's The Brown Bunny. "What’s happened with that is all very complicated. There are a lot of emotions. I’ll probably have to go to therapy at some point," the actress reveals to Playboy. "But I love Vincent. The film is tragic and beautiful, and I’m proud of it and my performance." Sevigny is refreshingly honest with every question thrown her way, including dating. It may come as a surprise, but she's actually a really big fan of texting—or sexting, even: "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 although you'd think the artistic guy is more her speed, she's actually into the opposite: "I want a guy who is masculine, good with his hands and able to build stuff and who has survival skills. Facial hair is a big turn-on. 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."

20-year-old socialite and serious journalist Peaches Geldof hates a bunch of stuff, like goals and "stars who look totally overstyled." But the thing she hates most is being called a prostitute on the cover of a major newspaper, which is why she took The Daily Star to London's High Court over a story they ran back in September of 2008: "PEACHES: SPEND NIGHT WITH ME FOR £5K."

The fearless fashion gene must run in the Geldof family.
