Quote

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.

You know, let a few years go by until I hit my midlife crisis. Then that can be documented on film.
Claire Danes
Image
Acting is a humiliating job, from start to finish.
Claire Danes
Image
I don't want to be coy. It's so important for me to be as genuine as possible, so I don't want to stop when it comes to rendering sex the way that most people have it, which is unclothed.

Image
There was a solid year and a half, perhaps two years, after making 'Temple Grandin,' when I didn't do anything. I just didn't have much patience for roles that were silly, or light, or inconsequential.
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 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.

I really have never been concerned about being beautiful on-screen. That's just not my jam.
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 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.

Image
I took three years off. I differentiated myself from the industry. Found my identity - sort of... I haven't graduated yet. I'm not legitimately educated yet, but maybe one day.
Claire Danes
Image
I'm only realizing now that I was a child actress because I always took myself so seriously.
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
I don't know any celebrated people that register in a big way who aren't unique.
Claire Danes
Image
I should be so lucky to be a misfit. I aspire to be a misfit.
Claire Danes
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.
Claire Danes
Image
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.

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.

Image
I'm human. I think people see me as sweeter and softer than I do.

Tel Aviv is the most party time place in the world.

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.
