More quotes by Claire Danes
I discovered Christopher Isherwood in college. His writing style is so direct, warm, and inclusive.
Claire Danes
Acting is a humiliating job, from start to finish.
Claire Danes
Anybody who knows how to make a good movie, knows that it's a collaborative undertaking. To deny that its really dangerous.
Claire Danes
I was told that my going to college wouldn't be good for my career. I think that's nonsense. It's good to empower yourself by cutting yourself off from this business every once in a while.
Claire Danes
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
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
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 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 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 fantasized about being a psychology major when I first started school, and I took a handful of Psych 101 classes.
Claire Danes
What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.
Claire Danes
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
I was very driven to act from a very young age, and my parents were not only tolerant of that drive but also encouraging.
Claire Danes
I'm human. I think people see me as sweeter and softer than I do.
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
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
You don't realize how useful a therapist is until you see yourself on e and discover you have more problems than you ever dreamed of.
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
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!
