The 31-year-old actress - who shot to fame as a teenager in TV show 'My So-Called Life' took a break from acting in 1998 to study psychology at the prestigious Yale University but quit after two years.
When asked what advice she would give her younger self, Claire said: "Go to college, actually. I didn't finish. I only went for two years but those two years were really good for me to just step away for a little bit and grow up without the prying eyes of the public and all the judgment that accompanies it. So that was good, and I don't know."
Claire - who won the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a TV movie for 'Temple Grandin' last night (16.01.11) - has previously revealed she took time out from Hollywood to attend college in order to regain a "normal" life.
She explained: "I started working when I was very young. I got an agent when I was 12 and fortunately was employed consistently from that point on. So I didn't really go to a conventional high school. I was tutored on sets and things."
The actress - who is married to British actor Hugh Dancy - is not the only actress to take time out of her career to attend university.
Natalie Portman completely a degree in psychology at Harvard, while 'Harry Potter' star Emma Watson is currently studying English Literature at Brown University.

Alicia Silverstone is pregnant

   Alicia Silverstone is pregnant, expecting a baby with Christopher Jarecki, her husband of more than five years.                                                      

Hmmm. That puts a little different spin on the vegan pregnancy Q&A series Silverstone has been running on her website, the Kind Life.

This will be a first child for the "Clueless" actress, 34, and musician Jarecki, 40, who dated for eight years before their June 2005 wedding in Lake Tahoe. Thenews was first reported by People.

Silverstone, who went vegan in 1998, in recent years wrote "The Kind Diet," a vegan cookbook. On the book's companion website, in addition to the vegan pregnancy series, Friday brought a recipe for mushroom pizza that contains no meat or dairy products.

The 2004 best actress Golden Globe nominee for the TV series "Miss Match" is among the ranks of celebs who've posed nude for PETA ads.

HELEN Hunt puts her family before her career

HELEN Hunt puts her family before her career.

The actress — who raises daughter Makena Lei Gordon Carnahan with husband Matthew Carnahan — says she’s hesitant to take on parts that are going to require her to give up everything.

“That makes a lot of sense to me. Movie acting is a great job for your twenties: You travel all over, you have affairs with people, and you throw yourself into one part and then another,” she said. “It gets more challenging as you get older, and it’s not just having a daughter, it’s wanting to have your own life and be yourself. I have kind of a mixed relationship with that throw-yourself-into-the-part thing: There are times when I love it and I get to express myself in ways that I need to and wouldn’t otherwise, and there are times when I really like my life and I don’t want to cut my hair off and go to Tennessee and live in a hotel for three months. I just don’t wanna! I’m too grown up. That’s when choosing becomes really important.

“This year I did [Soul Surfer], where I got to take my daughter with me and shoot in my favorite place on earth. They were like, ‘Do you want to go to Oahu and bring your daughter and surf in a movie?’ I went, ‘Okay!’

“I haven’t seen it yet, so I hope it turned out all right, but the opportunity to be paid and have my family with me and be in heaven was pretty great.”

Helen — who has been in showbiz since the age of ten — was then asked if she wishes she started acting later.

“I don’t wish I started later, but I was never a child star,” she said. “I was in school every year and had normal friends and I loved it and here I am, so I can’t say that I wish I hadn’t done it.

“I used to say, ‘No, I didn’t miss any of my childhood,’ but it is a very adult place to be, a movie set. Like, it’s a little weird. I think if my daughter was interested in acting, I would find ways for her to act in theater that has to do with her school or a kids’ improvisational thing.

“There are ways to do it where you’re not on a movie set with 60 adults, which I loved at the time, but as a parent, I don’t know that I’d be dying to put her in that spot.
