I played a girl. There's really nothing controversial about her. She's just fine. She has to be fine in order to make Sarah Jessica's character pop, I say I just play a white girl in that movie.

More quotes by Claire Danes
Fame doesn't end loneliness.
Claire Danes
I don't know any celebrated people that register in a big way who aren't unique.
Claire Danes
I'm human. I think people see me as sweeter and softer than I do.
Claire Danes
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.
Claire Danes
There is real honor in being a total goofball
Claire Danes
I get a little jealous of these actor boys. They walk into a club, and in two seconds flat there are swarms of girls who are wanting so badly to touch them or just say hello. That's not the case with me, or any other girl I know.
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
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
I should be so lucky to be a misfit. I aspire to be a misfit.
Claire Danes
You know, let a few years go by until I hit my midlife crisis. Then that can be documented on film.
Claire Danes
The big question is always, 'Eyes or lips?' I tend to go with the eyes because I've got a lot more material to work with now - and it saves me from reapplying lipstick! I'm a pretty low-maintenance person and it's too excessive to exaggerate both the eyes and lips.
Claire Danes
I have a huge, active imagination, and I think I'm really scared of being alone because if I'm left to my own devices, I'll just turn into a madwoman.
Claire Danes
My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production.
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
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
My go-to gifts are scarves from my friend Matin Maulawizada's nonprofit organization, Afghan Hands, which supports disenfranchised women in Afghanistan. In exchange for their beautiful embroidery, the women are given financial aid and classes in math and literacy. The scarves are all stunning and one of a kind.
Claire Danes
I really have never been concerned about being beautiful on-screen. That's just not my jam.
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
Counterterrorism isn't really about the nunchakus, the guns and gadgets. It's about psychology.
Claire Danes
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.
