I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet.
Sarah Jessica Parker
A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit!
I don't judge others. I say if you feel good with what you're doing, let your freak flag fly.
Every once in awhile, a girl has to indulge herself.
You can't be friends with a squirrel! A squirrel is just a rat with a cuter outfit.
So many roads. So many detours. So many choices. So many mistakes.
When men attempt bold gestures, generally it's considered romantic. When women do it, it's often considered desperate or psycho.
When real people fall down in life, they get right back up and keep walking.
It's like the riddle of the Sphinx... why are there so many great unmarried women, and no great unmarried men?
Can you make a mistake and miss your fate?
I don't believe in email. I'm an old-fashioned girl. I prefer calling and hanging up.
It was very flattering when Manolo Blahnik named a shoe after me.
Follow your instincts and do not let other people's opinion of you become your opinion of yourself.
Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate.
Can you really forgive if you can't forget?
Graham Norton makes me laugh. I love him. I'm not kidding. I watch him on BBC America every week. He's so fast.
Do we need distance to get close?
I believe in God, but in my own unconventional way. We're not affiliated with any organisation, and I have no religious education of any kind, but I definitely have my own kind of ideas about it.
One of the things that's great about New York is that it is not a one-industry town. It has education, academia, the service industry, arts, publishing, theater, politics, fashion, finance, as well as movie-making.
So we strive for perfection in the areas in which we can control, and that isn't necessarily what provides contentment and joy for ourselves and, more importantly, for our children.
To be in a couple, do you have to put your single self on a shelf?
You can't live in New York City and be the most important person in town; you just can't. There are too many other important people here.
I love, love, love being an actor - it's still the hardest and scariest thing I do, outside of parenting. But I've always been someone who likes a busy day.
I write about sex, not love. What do I know about love?
The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door. There is no choice. And I love that.
People should dress the way they want. Any rules for age or shape are silly.
I think growing up in a big family taught me a lot of problem solving and how to share and compromise, and that's been helpful in my marriage.
My job requires me to put on a little dress and run around the streets of New York in heels. But I also had the financial means to hire a yoga teacher to come to my house while my sitter watched the newborn. For 95 percent of the world, that's not realistic.
In a relationship, when does the art of compromise become compromising?
Balls are to men what purses are to women.
My mother was a master juggler. If you ask her, she'll say she was a wreck. There's plenty of screaming that went on in the house, but I think it was necessary just to be heard. There were eight children!
I love Matthew Broderick. Call me crazy, but I love him. We can only be in the marriage we are. We're very devoted to our family and our lives. I love our life. I love that he's the father of my children, and it's because of him that there's this whole other world that I love.
Read the editorial page of your local paper. It introduces you to opinion and can be terrifically provocative and perhaps a great motivating force for you to get involved in your community, regardless of your political ideology.
My dream was to be a working actress that would be working in theater.
If two people have only one thought between them, something is very wrong.
When it comes to life and love, why do we believe our worst reviews?
I have a fantastic husband. Here's the honeymoon part: I still think he's the funniest, wittiest, most clever man I've ever known.
I don't know how an actress is supposed to observe and create new stuff if she hasn't been on the streets, brushing up against humanity. You have to have a life.
I'm very, very concerned about the Bush presidency. I'm worried about the kinds of cuts in domestic programs that mean something to a lot of people, including members of my family, who depend on certain things from the government.
Men who are too good looking are never good in bed because they never had to be.
I tell my friends married life is boring, but that's just a fun thing to say to make single people feel better.
As a woman, I have an inherent need to be all things to all people, to make certain everybody's taken care of. I know I can't sustain that level all the time, so I'm finding the proper balance and it's made me infinitely happier.
When I go to a premiere I like to borrow lovely clothes and shoes from designers. It's like the library: if you return them in good condition, you get to borrow more. I'm very lucky.
Most of my friends in New York are single women or gay men.
I remember when I came home from the hospital after having my son, I wore a Narciso Rodriguez black coat. Then, I was using this fragrance that I had created. I walk by that coat, and it still smells like that fragrance. It takes you right there.
Friends are readily disappointed by the size of my closet. And I thought it was big!
And if you are a parent, introduce your children to their neighborhood library. It will give them a real sense of independence to have their own library card and enjoy borrowing books.
If I didn't have kids, I would be at the theater or the ballet every single night of my life.
I love the opportunity to wear something really special and go to a wonderful event at some great cultural institution.
I'm a bitter-ender. It's potentially my fatal flaw that I do not give up on something. I will not rest. I work and work and work until I can no longer and someone has to remove me from the premises.
