Claire Danes
Image
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
Image
I know, it's true. I've played these tortured teenagers. I can't wait to shed that image.

My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production.
Claire Danes
Image
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.

Image
Counterterrorism isn't really about the nunchakus, the guns and gadgets. It's about psychology.
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.
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.
