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.

Hi, Amy. Hi, Mandy.
Don't look, Amy. I'm eating something again.
Yum. What are you eating?
Murray's tuna.
Perfect.
And vegetarian chopped liver on Ezekiel cinnamon raisin toast.
Wow. That's a lot of flavors.
Well, I love the cinnamon raisin and I eat that because my my trainer tells me not to eat this other bread. This is the one he wants me to eat and I'm feeling good. And so I do what he says.
You're a podcaster now.
Yes, I'm a podcaster. Do you only talk to podcasters?
I can't stand talking to someone who doesn't have a podcast.
Trust me, Amy, I know.
Right? When you see someone, you're like, what are you doing with your life?
It's unconscionable to even think of doing that. It's horrible. So I wouldn't even, even hearing you say it upsets me. So that's not an option.
You do a show with Don't Listen to Us with Catherine, your wife and your son Gideon. And congratulations on that.
And they don't listen to me. So it always the title is always in operation.
How has it been? What have you been learning about yourself and in the process?
It's great, Amy. It's just great being with your family 24-7, never a break. You know, what more could you ask? You know, be at home, work with them. You know, just like, you know, my son, you know, just can't get enough of his parents. It's just a total joy 24-7. It's just like being in paradise.
Before we get to Claire, just one more time, because I know Gideon will want me to get the log line. How would you describe the podcast?
Oh, just the podcast. To describe the podcast is just, it's a podcast. It's indescribable. It's just an extraordinary podcast. It has my wife, who I love. I've been with her for 47 years.
