Famous Claire Danes Quotes

“Anybody who knows how to make a good movie, knows that it's a collaborative undertaking. To deny that its really dangerous.”

Claire Danes

"Interview: Steve Martin and Claire Danes" by Jeff Otto at IGN.com (19 October 2005)

“This business can be very erratic and intense … You can be the subject of great attention, both positive and negative. You really do have to tether yourself when you're a teen star. If you don't have that tether, then you're really lost.”

Claire Danes

As quoted in The Chicago Sun-Times (10 August 2007) http://www.suntimes.com/entertainment/pearlman/504249,CNT-News-peop10.article

“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.”

Claire Danes

In "I Needed A Connection That Was Real" by Dotson Rader in Parade magazine (2 October 2005) http://www.parade.com/articles/editions/2005/edition_10-02-2005/featured_1

“It's not called stalking…it's called "passionately following."”

Claire Danes

Explaining about her character Angela Chase and her crush on Jared Leto's character, Jordan Catalano, while on MTV's TRL (11 August 2007)

“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. I think people who make movies and have invested a lot of money in them, get frightened that if they challenge an audience they are going to repel them. And I think the opposite, it's really true. It takes confidence and courage to know that and then commit to it.”
