| Claire Danes QUOTES / QUOTATIONS |
Acting is the greatest answer to my loneliness that I have found.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
But I don't know if people are meant to be together. You have to have a lot in common, choose well and be really fortunate. It's not like you're sprinkled with fairy dust. You have to believe that love will be there when you need it.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
Fame doesn't end loneliness.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
Growing up, I wanted desperately to please, to be a good girl.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I did Little Women, when I was a very little woman myself. But America's history is not as impressive as your own.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I don't need to be exposed to people's opinion of me; it just makes me too nervous.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I feel like I'm turning into more of a woman - I'm getting ready to leave home, go to college, be independent. It's an exhilarating time.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I hadn't been free from adult responsibilities since I was 12, and I needed to experience that. I really needed to just be a kid again.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I have this home in New York, I have a long-term relationship with my boyfriend, who's from Australia, and I had this business that I had maintain. Even though I wasn't actively shooting, there's a lot of peripheral work.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I haven't been threatened in the way that has crippled me, emotionally or physically.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I know, it's true. I've played these tortured teenagers. I can't wait to shed that image.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I think anybody who knows how to make a good movie knows that it's a collaborative undertaking. To deny that is really dangerous.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I think because I am as earnest as I am, people were accepting of my evolving into a certified, legitimate, and grown up and I did take three years off.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I wanted acceptance. I still do.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I would sign on for projects that were meant to shoot in July, and then they would postponed and they would bleed into the following semester, and then I'd take a semester off, and then the movie would collapse.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
I'm only realizing now that I was a child actress because I always took myself so seriously.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
It seems like the most successful, iconic love stories are not so easy or escapist.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
It was interesting because I was very representative of teenagers, especially with My So-Called Life and Romeo and Juliet, so I was like a teenager in an abstract and literal sense, which was a bit peculiar, but I couldn't dwell on that as it would drive me pretty insane.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
Maybe philosophy - I love talking about ideas. Or maybe art history. I was thinking about psychology, then I got really afraid because everybody says it's terribly boring.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
My character was kidnapped by the Terminator and I was kidnapped by the Terminator production.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
There's certainly something very uncomfortable about the voyeurism involved in being in the press, being an actor, where people have a seemingly insatiable curiosity about, you.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
Three years had passed since I had acted, and I missed it. I missed it terribly.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
What I needed was a connection to life that was real and lasting.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of 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.
Quotation of Claire Danes
|
You know, let a few years go by until I hit my midlife crisis. Then that can be documented on film.
