The 34-year-old actress, who has son a Cyrus with actor husband Hugh Dancy, rose to fame appearing in 'My So-Called Life' when she was just 15-year-old, reported Contactmusic.
"I was a pretty messed up and misanthropic teenager, and it was good for me to find some good friends whom I could talk to and get rid of some of my angst," Danes said.
"I was way too serious and overly concerned with trying to project this adult self. When I hit my twenties, I figured out that adults don't really have that much certainty about their lives either," she added.
