Also, it was a cultural moment that wasn't being represented in terms of women who were successful and had choices they didn't have before. They needed a show that they can watch that they felt like represented them.
As an actress, there's nothing worse than not knowing your cues.
But you know, our show is our show, and it's not for everybody.
Dogs are very, very pleasant with people that they're connected to.
Every child that I've worked with so far has been so professional and not at all the kind of difficult, cliched stories that you would hear.
Everyone would talk about their diets and working out and what it made me do was go to craft services where all the food for the cast and crew was and I would eat.
I also like men who like dogs. I couldn't date a man who doesn't like my dog.
I had my house in L.A. before we started. It's a cute little house up in the hills.
I just loved being in the theatre with all those crazy, creative people.
I like green or brown eyes. Tall but not overwhelmingly so. I like men who do yoga and meditate.
I love animals and I love to see movies with animals that are done respectfully, you know?
I love theater.
I think I can speak for all four of us on the show here. We all consider ourselves to be feminists and we get very upset when people don't think we are. We're like, where did this come from? Of course we are.
I want to try to support women and make them aware there's a myriad of choices out there, politics being one of them.
I was very poor and I was a waitress, and it's hard to be a poor waitress in New York.
I'd wanted to be an actress my whole life, that was my goal, that was all I cared about.
I'm an actress who likes a strong, communicative director.
I'm having a great career, though I think I'm not as good as your little scenario makes me out to be.
I'm just happy when people want me to work for them.
I'm not about to go out and buy a snake for a pet. I mean, I may have faced a few fears but I'm not insane.
I've been dating since I was fifteen. I'm exhausted. Where is he?
If I was going to do anything, I'd be a producer, only because I'd like to have a say in what gets made and what doesn't.
If I'm walking very, very fast down Madison Avenue in the middle of the day, I'll say I'm stopped 10 times.
It was certainly set up that the other girls would do things and I would react. I was there as the dissenting voice.
Let's just say that I don't think our show has very much in common with the book any more.
Never, never did I think I would be in a Disney movie.
Our mothers' generation fought so hard to change things and we're the first generation to benefit. And now you get girls in their twenties who say they're not feminists.
Personally, I don't think we could do such a show if we didn't get along. The subtext of all this is that we're women in a show so we can't possibly get along. It's not like they write about The Sopranos like that.
Sex can still be great, even without an orgasm.
So it was good for me to play a likable person and it was just an amazing situation to be in.
Sometimes it would be nice to just have some red wine with dinner, but it's not worth the risk. I have a great life, a great situation. Why would I want to risk self-destructive behaviour?
Sometimes, when you're acting, you are so in the moment that you don't even remember what just happened.
The Carrie in the plot was too much like the Carrie in the book. She smoked, she swore a lot, she was very hard, very cynical. I could never have pulled it off.
The girls on the show are like a rat pack. People don't believe us when we say that, but that's one of the joys of the show for me.
There's this whole thing in America about talking about all your addictions and problems and I'm not really into that.
To the outside world, I was a good girl. But I drank a lot, which was rebellious because my parents didn't drink at all. In the South, pretty much everybody drinks. There was always lots of alcohol, lots of access to alcohol, people sitting around every night with a Mint Julep, or whatever.
Well, I am a dog lover as I said, and a dog owner, and I talk to my dog ALL the time.
When I was growing up in South Carolina and would go swimming in Lake Murray, water moccasins were every kid's worst fear.
Where I come from, a lot of people didn't have money, but they didn't have gangs or drugs either.
