What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.

I'm human. I think people see me as sweeter and softer than I do.
Claire Danes

Claire Danes
Image
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.
Claire Danes
Image
I would sign on for projects that were meant to shoot in July, and then they would postponed and they would bleed into the following semester, and then I'd take a semester off, and then the movie would collapse.
Claire Danes
Image
I'm only realizing now that I was a child actress because I always took myself so seriously.
Claire Danes
Image
I actually haven't been approached a whole lot for television, believe it or not.
Claire Danes
Image
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
Image
Money or no money, acting is my calling.
Claire Danes
Image
I was very driven to act from a very young age, and my parents were not only tolerant of that drive but also encouraging.

Steve Martin is one of my favorite performers, writers, artists of all time.
