My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production.

Image
I became very successful at a young age... I had lots of opportunities and lots of power and had no idea how to focus it.

Image
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.

People in the CIA, they marry each other. They're like actors! We have to travel without much warning to far-flung places, and it's very hard to communicate what our experiences are like to those in the outside world.

If I hadn't been an actress, I was thinking seriously about going into psychology. It's just really what I'm interested in: the human psyche and how we process information.

Claire Danes
Image
I like marriage. I feel very secure. It helps when you are in love with the person you are married to.
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
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
It just seems like the most successful, iconic love stories are not so easy or escapist. I think the ones that stay with us and resonate are full of conflict, discord and misunderstandings 'cause that's what makes drama happen or tension even if it's a comedy.
Claire Danes
Image
However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.
Claire Danes
Image
Counterterrorism isn't really about the nunchakus, the guns and gadgets. It's about psychology.
Claire Danes
Image
The big question is always, 'Eyes or lips?' I tend to go with the eyes because I've got a lot more material to work with now - and it saves me from reapplying lipstick! I'm a pretty low-maintenance person and it's too excessive to exaggerate both the eyes and lips.

Image
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.
Claire Danes
Image
