More quotes by Claire Danes
Money or no money, acting is my calling.
Claire Danes
I do know how to fire a machine gun, so be warned! I'm trained!
Claire Danes
Counterterrorism isn't really about the nunchakus, the guns and gadgets. It's about psychology.
Claire Danes
I'm human. I think people see me as sweeter and softer than I do.
Claire Danes
Well, it's true that you often kind of forget to see the person you're most intimate with, but occasionally I'll come to and sort of think, 'Oh my God! You're really, really good-looking! I'm embarrassed now! It's nice to occasionally have that flash.
Claire Danes
I was told that my going to college wouldn't be good for my career. I think that's nonsense. It's good to empower yourself by cutting yourself off from this business every once in a while.
Claire Danes
I discovered Christopher Isherwood in college. His writing style is so direct, warm, and inclusive.
Claire Danes
I used to talk about my personal life all the time. It's the most fun thing to talk about, the people in my life are hurt.
Claire Danes
What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.
Claire Danes
I think the voice over actually enhances the various moments instead of compensating for something that's lacking. Voice over can be tricky. It can be dangerous because its over used or inappropriately used. I think in this case it informs the story.
Claire Danes
I was a pretty nerdy kid. I was pretty nerdy. I'm still kind of nerdy. I have all of the worst qualities of being a nerd - all of the affect and none of the smarts. I'm a useless nerd! That's pretty bad.
Claire Danes
I really have never been concerned about being beautiful on-screen. That's just not my jam.
Claire Danes
My go-to gifts are scarves from my friend Matin Maulawizada's nonprofit organization, Afghan Hands, which supports disenfranchised women in Afghanistan. In exchange for their beautiful embroidery, the women are given financial aid and classes in math and literacy. The scarves are all stunning and one of a kind.
Claire Danes
In a way, that's really reassuring. I'm not just a very limited person to not have figured it out at this point. But it's also intimidating. Well, how long is it going to take before you can have a good time?
Claire Danes
I was very driven to act from a very young age, and my parents were not only tolerant of that drive but also encouraging.
Claire Danes
Acting is a humiliating job, from start to finish.
Claire Danes
I finally realized that yeah I did want to be an actor and it wasn't out of habit, but I needed to grow up for myself and then kind of re-enter the industry with a sound understanding of what my sensibilities and my values are as a relatively formed human being.
Claire Danes
I think it distinguishes television from every other medium. It's what makes it kind of radical, and risky, and fun.
Claire Danes
It's been a huge joy, this experience of being a mom ... I don't know how to articulate it yet, because it is so fresh.
Claire Danes
I actually haven't been approached a whole lot for television, believe it or not.
Claire Danes
