I'm very vain about my performance. I want to give as honest a performance as I can. But I'm not so worried about being regarded as beautiful when I'm playing a character.
Quote by -Claire Danes
Oh, I'm full of fear. I care about things; therefore, I have fears. I like to think that I'm brave, which is different. Brave means you're able to admit that you care. If you care, you are vulnerable.
Quote by -Claire Danes
It's OK to want to look and feel your best. It's OK to work at being attractive, whatever that means to you. And it's also OK to not expect to be defined by that. It's OK to be powerful in every way: to be big, to take up space. To breathe and thrive.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I try to eat sensibly. I cheat, but for the most part, I eat in a clean way.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I don't want to be an actress. I want to be doing good work that is well written and has good people in it.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I think you can become dependent on fame and be as known as you want to be, you know?
Quote by -Claire Danes
It's a very young mistake to assume that life is very serious. I get the joke now.
Quote by -Claire Danes
When somebody asks me who I'm wearing, I always see myself with a BabyBjoern, carrying a little tiny Karl Lagerfeld, like, 'I'm wearing Chanel.'
Quote by -Claire Danes
Working gives you this new perspective. You don't take everything too seriously, and you realise that if you don't do too well on a history test, it's not the end of the world.
Quote by -Claire Danes
It's been a great privilege to see how interwoven nations are and how incredibly complex these relationships are. It's so elaborate.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I still have a book club with my friends from when I was 5. That's the privilege of growing up in a place where people want to remain. It's a huge gift.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I'm happier in my thirties. I feel clearer about who I am and less apologetic about it, and more accepting of my limitations and also more aware of the ways in which I'm capable.
Quote by -Claire Danes
The twenties are a deceptively challenging-slash-painful time. I'm just glad to be out of that phase.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I care about being formally physically attractive in my life, and I think that I am quite vain about my performance. I'm just not vain about how I look while I give the performance.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I love sitting in the makeup trailer and getting my makeup done in 15 minutes as opposed to an hour and a half.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I really have never been concerned about being beautiful on-screen. That's just not my jam.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I started working when I was very young. I got an agent when I was 12, and fortunately was employed consistently from that point on. So I didn't really go to a conventional high school. I was tutored on sets and things.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I was a pretty nerdy kid. I was pretty nerdy. I'm still kind of nerdy. I have all of the worst qualities of being a nerd - all of the affect and none of the smarts. I'm a useless nerd! That's pretty bad.
Quote by -Claire Danes
My first offer was when I was 12, and it was for a soap opera. And I turned it down because I knew that I was an unformed actor, and I didn't want to develop bad habits.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I have to say that my dad's face is very malleable. He's barely got any cartilage in his face. I think I maybe inherited that Play-Doh-like physicality from him.
Quote by -Claire Danes
Growing up in New York City, I was always encouraged to question authority, and I think I confused patriotism with jingoism.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I like reading novels because it provides insight into human behavior. I am really interested in feelings and think they are what define us as a species. When you really get it right in acting, it's an act of empathy. You feel less distant from others, and that is really exciting.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I don't know any celebrated people that register in a big way who aren't unique.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I've always had a really active imagination. Lots of kids have imaginary friends. Mine just took on a rather demonic form.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I actually think in some ways that it might be more challenging to be bipolar because it's so mercurial - it's so ever-changing. You can't get any traction. You can't build on a system. Whereas, somebody who has Asperger's, which is certainly a much more forgiving expression of autism, can create models for coping and build on them over time.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I guess I stopped acting when I was 18 and didn't pick it up again until I was 21. That wasn't the plan, though. When I first started at Yale, the plan was to do a movie each summer.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I'm just always learning lines. I've learned to flag the really crucial scenes, and I start figuring them out and committing them to memory as soon as I get them.
Quote by -Claire Danes
I was a very confident child. I knew I wanted to be an actress from the age of 5.
Quote by -Claire Danes
My parents never condescended to me. As a child, I always sat at the head of our dinner table. I was always given a lot of responsibility.
Quote by -Claire Danes
It's very difficult to judge yourself. Extreme self-doubt is only attractive when it's fictionalized. Which is why people love the movies. They are so reassuring.
