Los Angeles, March 22 (IANS) "Homeland" star Claire Danes says television is "fun" because of the uncertainty factor that it brings in.
"Television is fun too because we're riding this train on tracks that are being laid and, you know, nobody really knows where its going to go, even the writers are not entirely certain," Danes said in a statement.
"And so, its terrifying and really thrilling and Im as hungry for the next script as, you know, an audience is going to be for the next instalment, you know, the next episode. Were all kind of biting our nails," she added.
Danes, who stars as Carrie Mathison, a Central Intelligence Agency officer with bipolar disorder in the American political thriller television series, says she admires the "insane super-human intelligence" of her character in the show, but she is not like her in real life.
"I admire her like insane super-human intelligence, her Spidey sense, like, she's so extraordinary and Im so glad that I get to pretend to be because Im not, in that way, and she's so. She means so well; shes really earnest, brazen and kind of sexless. I mean, shes not defined by her gender," Danes said.
However, Danes said that she doesn't recommend anyone to date her character.
"She doesnt have inhibitions that most women are supposed to have and I enjoy and appreciate her brazenness and her chutzpah and her courage and yeah, I think she's actually a pretty good person given how terribly she can behave. She works really, hard and youve got to give her credit for that. But, you know, I dont recommend dating her; not a good idea," she said.
"Homeland" airs on weekdays on Star World in India.
