Chapter 1: What personal experiences does Claire Danes share about her childhood?
Hi, everyone. Amy here. I'm recording this the day before our new episode with the great Claire Danes comes out. And it's an episode we recorded a few weeks ago. And since then, so much has been happening in our country. And honestly, it felt strange not to address it.
The intention of Good Hang has always been to bring levity and joy and laughs in these tough times, and we're going to keep doing that. But before we start this episode, I just want to send much love to the best people in the world, also known as Minnesotans. What we are all witnessing is terrifying and enraging and illegal, but we are also seeing neighbors helping neighbors.
And if you want to help, there is a directory of local organizations and mutual aid groups that you can check out at standwithminnesota.com. Minnesota, you're in our hearts. Okay, on with the show.
Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Good Hang. Very excited about our guest today. It is the incredible Claire Danes. I cannot wait to talk to Claire today. She is such a pro. She's so good at so many things and I know she's going to be a good hang and we are going to get into it today. We're going to talk about her big brain.
We are going to talk about the lasting effect of my so-called life and how people still love it even to this day. We're going to talk about her stint on Law & Order and what that was like. And we're going to hear about how she met Basquiat. in an elevator when she was a New York kid. So much to talk about.
Before we do, we always like to speak to somebody who knows our guest, who has a question for me to ask our guest. And we talk well behind their back. And we have a great one today. The incredible Mandy Patinkin. Mandy...

Chapter 2: How did Claire Danes prepare for her role as a teenage murderer on 'Law & Order'?
I didn't get that right.
Chicken in a hen house. Thank you for that. Well, thank you. This was amazing. This was really nice. This was so fun. Birthday present to me. No one's ever brought me a balloon.
Thank you for bringing a balloon. And again, for people that are sick of me talking about the Enneagram, I don't know what to say. But let me just read you this as we wrap up and see if any of these land. These are things that annoy an Enneagram 8. Are you ready? Sure. People who talk just to talk. That's very annoying. That is deeply annoying. And I have a podcast. Yes.
People who talk just to talk. Fake people. Beyond. I mean, I'm like, I literally, if someone's like, I'm a piece of shit or whatever, I'm like, okay, great. But fake? No way, babe. People who aren't on time.
I have to have some tolerance for that because I am not the... Same. I was late today. Yeah. Jenna's always on time. Most punctual person.
And then this one really scratches an itch for me. Others asserting power in a situation where they have none.
So I went through a period in junior high where I became, like, a vigilante. And I would, like, rough—I would, like, confront the bullies. AIDS hate bullies. Yeah, really. And I went to the principal's office one time because I, like, hit a bully. I love to bully. And... That's exciting. And we've talked through it, the bully and I. And actually, we made some progress.
And then he was so deferential to me and so... And he would open doors like he was really, you know. But I had to stop that because... It was like going on my record. But yes, I mean, so I think that makes sense. I have fantasies that I stand up to bullies and that everybody sees it.
Like that's my like embarrassing fantasy that I stick up for people in public.
