More quotes by Claire Danes
I used to have nightmares when I was a little kid that I woke up prematurely and opened all the Christmas presents. And then I would be so relieved when I woke up and I realized that I hadn't done it.
Claire Danes
I should be so lucky to be a misfit. I aspire to be a misfit.
Claire Danes
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
I'm human. I think people see me as sweeter and softer than I do.

Claire Danes
I am a feminist. And I'm so glad that Lena Dunham exists, because she is one too, and she's quite vocal about it. Yes, women have more freedom and more influence than ever, but it's hardly equal. It's just not.
Claire Danes
What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.
Claire Danes
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.
Claire Danes
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.
Claire Danes
I love love and falling in love, but it can get pretty flat real fast.
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
