My understanding is SJP is bad for people's mental health
Very quick translation, excuse the mistakes
Question: Did you enjoy your brief return as Samantha Jones in AJLT's second season finale just as much? (Previous question was about Glamorous and she said she enjoyed that).
Answer: Of course! Samantha to me was always a fun character. I gave so much of myself to that role, I impersonated her in such a way that I feel as if she's a relative. It was wonderful to return, even for a little, to the universe of this woman, who has made so many people happy with her lines.
Question: What do you believe is the legacy left by Sex and the City? Why is it still relevant to the public after all this time?
Answer: I find it difficult to talk about it since I was a part of it. I recall the experience with gratitude. It surely changed my life and I think it changed the lives of many women. It made them ask for more. I always looked at Samantha as a modern Aphrodite. And this is not just in relationship to sex. I think we are in need of these bold powerful women in the spotlight. It was a series that brought women together, showed how they react to men, how women's friendship is. The four characters made up a full woman, that is why everyone could identify with all of them. It was of its time and made for its time, yet you can still enjoy it because it was special. But let me say this again, I can't see it as you or as a fan watches it, cause I was in it.
Question: There's so much that has been said about the reasons you didn't return in AJLT and I know that you don't want to speak about all that. What I would like to know is whether you believe that a career is better built on "no's" rather than "yes's".
Answer: My good friend Patricia Fields comes to mind again. One of the reasons I admire her for is her instict. What happens is that as you get older, the knowledge about what's best for you also matures inside you. You have something that guides you. An intuition over a certain role, a collaborator, a situation. In the current phase my intuition is at its best. I am very synchronised with my desires. I withdraw me from things I feel do not suit me. I say "Kim this may not be for you". So many things happen every day in every city, in every relationship, in every workplace. You need to take care not only of your physical health, but also of your mental one. You owe to control the situations you grant yourself access to. A "no" you may say is not that terrible. It simply shows that something isn't right for you.
