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.

I'm only realizing now that I was a child actress because I always took myself so seriously.
Claire Danes
I know, it's true. I've played these tortured teenagers. I can't wait to shed that image.
Claire Danes
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
I really liked Yale, although it was extremely intimidating. When I visited the campus, I was hiding behind trees, I felt so unworthy.
Claire Danes
I should be so lucky to be a misfit. I aspire to be a misfit.
Claire Danes
I do know how to fire a machine gun, so be warned! I'm trained!
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 think it distinguishes television from every other medium. It's what makes it kind of radical, and risky, and fun.
Claire Danes
What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.
Claire Danes
I'm just a big old nerd.
Claire Danes
There is real honor in being a total goofball
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
As a young performer, I didn't know that you can have a great time playing someone in terrible crisis. The more you know it's not real, the deeper you can go into it. And the easier it is to let it go when it's done.
Claire Danes
