Claire Danes
approach to life and appearances

The following is a description of Claire's basic stance toward life, the way others see her, the way Claire Danes comes across, the face she shows to the world. In the page about motivation you will read about the inner Claire Danes - her real motivation, which describes the kind of person she is at heart and where her true priorities lie. Study this page and the next one and compare them - there may be significant differences between the two, in which case "the inner Claire Danes" may not shine through and others may be in for so a few surprises once they get to know Claire a little better. This page describes the disguise Danes wears, her role in life, while the page about motivation talks about the real person beneath the disguise.

Ferociously proud and somewhat vain, Claire Danes likes to be impressive and to be considered special and unique. She is not timid, meek, or self-effacing, and is rarely content with staying in the background or in a subordinate position. She is a natural leader, and does not take orders from others very well. Danes must have something of her own, something creative - be it a business, a project, a home or whatever - that she can develop and manage according to her own will and vision. Whatever Claire does, she does it in a unique, dramatic, individual way. She likes to put her own personal stamp on it.

Claire Danes also has a very strong sense of dignity, self-respect, and personal honor and is deeply offended if someone treats her in a humiliating or dishonorable way. Danes will rarely confront the offender - she is too proud to do so - but she will lose her affection and respect for them. Claire dislikes pettiness and hates to be snubbed or ignored.

Danes admires others who are strong individuals like herself. When Claire Danes befriends someone, Danes is tremendously loyal, sincere, and willing to go to extraordinary lengths to make that person happy. She is very giving and generous, but her gifts are never anonymous - Claire expects recognition and appreciation for them. She also expects the intense loyalty that she offers to her dear ones to be reciprocated. However, Claire Danes often has trouble developing relationships with people who are as strong as herself, for she does not really cooperate or share the leading role very easily. If she is not in the leading role, she aspires to be and will compete with the person who is.

Claire Danes has great heart and courage, and people often look to her for strength, encouragement, and affirmation. Claire always puts her best face forward and rarely allows others to see her hurting, disheartened, or vulnerable. Claire Danes also has a very strong need for love, admiration, appreciation, and praise, although she does not like others to realize just how important it is to her.

Her outlook on life tends to be very personal and rather self-centered. Her own self-expression, self-actualization and self-realization interest Claire more than anything else. Claire Danes feels that if she does her best where she is, the rest of the world will take care of itself.

She is direct, honest, and to the point - some might say excessively so. However, no one has to guess who Claire Danes is or what she wants - she is pretty much up front. Claire radiates a refreshing enthusiasm and vigor when she is at her best. She seems to enjoy competition without taking it terribly seriously.

She is easily excitable and could find it difficult to sit still. Danes always have something going on and is not afraid to take chances. Claire Danes takes the initiative and has the ability to stimulate and sweep along others.

Claire Danes tends to get excited easily and may act a bit restless in the presence of other people. Always in motion, Danes seems to come across like a whirlwind and has a constant need for different and new experiences.
