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
Image
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
Image
I should be so lucky to be a misfit. I aspire to be a misfit.
Claire Danes
Image
I think it distinguishes television from every other medium. It's what makes it kind of radical, and risky, and fun.
Claire Danes
Image
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
Image
My husband and I have watched a lot of Hitchcock movies in bulk, and there's a lot to be gained from that, from focusing strictly on an artists canon.
Claire Danes
Image
I do know how to fire a machine gun, so be warned! I'm trained!
Claire Danes
Image
I love love and falling in love, but it can get pretty flat real fast.
Claire Danes
Image
Yeah, there was the Flora Plum thing, where I trained for about a month and I had taken a semester off for that, and two weeks prior to filming, the financing collapsed.
Claire Danes
Image
Autism does exist on a spectrum, and there are so many manifestations of it, so many kinds of expressions of it. And every case is particular.

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.
