Claire Danes quotes about
long way good-times
In a way, that's really reassuring. I'm not just a very limited person to not have figured it out at this point. But it's also intimidating. Well, how long is it going to take before you can have a good time?
junior-high juniors kind
I've never dated (casually). Ever. It's kind of weird. I did have a boyfriend in junior high who was a kleptomaniac. We'd leave stores and he'd come out with something for me.
teenager thinking dying
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.
yale tree intimidating
I really liked Yale, although it was extremely intimidating. When I visited the campus, I was hiding behind trees, I felt so unworthy.
teenager waiting i-can
I know, it's true. I've played these tortured teenagers. I can't wait to shed that image.
stories littles little-love
Any story is better with a little love in it, right?
party dance-party i-can
I can get a dance party started pretty much anywhere and anytime.
being-alone thinking imagination
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.
careers defining influential
Every time I make a movie, I'm prepared for it to become influential and career-defining - but I have no control over these things.
loneliness being-lonely fame
Fame doesn't end loneliness.
tired yale bored
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.
realizing problem therapists
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.
feminist influence equal
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.
nice stride get-over
Once you get over that peak of puberty, you hit a nice stride.
