I think it distinguishes television from every other medium. It's what makes it kind of radical, and risky, and fun.

More quotes by Claire Danes
I'm just a big old nerd.
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
Money or no money, acting is my calling.
Claire Danes
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.
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.
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
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 like marriage. I feel very secure. It helps when you are in love with the person you are married to.
Claire Danes
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.
Claire Danes
I'm human. I think people see me as sweeter and softer than I do.
Claire Danes
I've always very earnestly tried to do my best, so I just have to trust that and forgive myself for being fallible.
Claire Danes
Tel Aviv is the most party time place in the world.
Claire Danes
I think people of my generation are really worrying about thier zits and getting that date for Friday night. I think that's their reality. I don't' know if they're worrying too hard about their future.
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
I do know how to fire a machine gun, so be warned! I'm trained!
Claire Danes
I know, it's true. I've played these tortured teenagers. I can't wait to shed that image.
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 actually haven't been approached a whole lot for television, believe it or not.
Claire Danes
At every stage in life you think about death. But teenagers especially are sort of invincible. They're not supposed to be thinking about dying yet, or else they'd be too afraid to live.
Claire Danes
By the time I went to Yale, I'd been acting for a long time and I was really tired of it. I was restless - and a little bored - and I was really eager to investigate different parts of myself.
Claire Danes
