The actress rarely says that she is rarely pleased with her scenes and thinks it has to do with the work conditions.
Danes told Stella magazine, "Occasionally I get it right as an actress and feel proud of what I’ve done. But the conditions have to be just right. I have to be working with a director who is really capable and attentive. The weather has to be just so and the other actors have to be great. Then, for some reason, it works and I feel wonderful."
The 28-year-old star admitted that she does spend a lot of time complaining.
She expressed, "I complain the whole time, mainly about my acting. I complain about it when I do it and I complain when I’m not doing it, too. I think the main problem is that I’m exceedingly self-critical.
Danes will be in the movie Stardust which is being released later this month.
