More quotes by Claire Danes
When I was 18 I went to college for two years and didn't work for a year which was essential for me, because my identity had been so influenced by my being an actor and I think I just needed to discover what it was to be myself, divorced from all that responsibility.
Claire Danes
I played a girl. There's really nothing controversial about her. She's just fine. She has to be fine in order to make Sarah Jessica's character pop, I say I just play a white girl in that movie.
Claire Danes
I do know how to fire a machine gun, so be warned! I'm trained!
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 should be so lucky to be a misfit. I aspire to be a misfit.
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 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

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
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
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.
Claire Danes
Television lets audiences deeply connect with characters.
Claire Danes
You know, let a few years go by until I hit my midlife crisis. Then that can be documented on film.
Claire Danes
I was a serious kid to an absurd degree. I was overwhelmed with responsibility. You know, trying to play grown up. I overdid it.
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
What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.
Claire Danes
Counterterrorism isn't really about the nunchakus, the guns and gadgets. It's about psychology.
Claire Danes
You don't realize how useful a therapist is until you see yourself on e and discover you have more problems than you ever dreamed of.
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
Every three seconds in the developing world, a child dies needlessly due to lack of basic health care and other things we all take for granted.
