People in the CIA, they marry each other. They're like actors! We have to travel without much warning to far-flung places, and it's very hard to communicate what our experiences are like to those in the outside world.

It's been a huge joy, this experience of being a mom ... I don't know how to articulate it yet, because it is so fresh.

I was a serious kid to an absurd degree. I was overwhelmed with responsibility. You know, trying to play grown up. I overdid it.

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.

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

My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production.

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.
