More quotes by Claire Danes
As a young performer, I didn't know that you can have a great time playing someone in terrible crisis. The more you know it's not real, the deeper you can go into it. And the easier it is to let it go when it's done.

I don't want to be coy. It's so important for me to be as genuine as possible, so I don't want to stop when it comes to rendering sex the way that most people have it, which is unclothed.
Claire Danes
I think people of my generation are really worrying about thier zits and getting that date for Friday night. I think that's their reality. I don't' know if they're worrying too hard about their future.

Counterterrorism isn't really about the nunchakus, the guns and gadgets. It's about psychology.
Claire Danes
I know, it's true. I've played these tortured teenagers. I can't wait to shed that image.
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.

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
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
I fantasized about being a psychology major when I first started school, and I took a handful of Psych 101 classes.
Claire Danes
At every stage in life you think about death. But teenagers especially are sort of invincible. They're not supposed to be thinking about dying yet, or else they'd be too afraid to live.
Claire Danes
I get a little jealous of these actor boys. They walk into a club, and in two seconds flat there are swarms of girls who are wanting so badly to touch them or just say hello. That's not the case with me, or any other girl I know.
Claire Danes
I do know how to fire a machine gun, so be warned! I'm trained!
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
By the time I went to Yale, I'd been acting for a long time and I was really tired of it. I was restless - and a little bored - and I was really eager to investigate different parts of myself.
Claire Danes
I have this book club, and we don't read one book we offer up a few suggestions and create a library over time.
Claire Danes
My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production.
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 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.
