“I don't know. I think we're having conversations about what we're going to do next and when and how. And I think really more so it's what, as always is the case, what does Michael see here and feel? This is Michael Patrick. Michael Patrick King, yes. He's my collaborator and producing partner and our showrunner.”

“We love Richard Plumper. Love him. He used to always say that the show was about home and finding home. Love is part of home and contentment. And yes, the show, if you just looked at Carrie, was about this pursuit of love. But what it sort of finally ended up saying was that it's the most important relationship you have is the one you have with yourself. And I think this is more so. Doubling down on that new show and just like that.”

“It's incredible. And Brooke and I were friends in that period. I was doing Annie, and she would come by and pick me up and we'd go to a restaurant with her mom and we hung out. But being around her and witnessing the sort of temperature that existed around her was really something to see. When I watched that documentary, I was Shocked and really reminded of the presence she had. I mean, she was Huge. I remembered the Calvin Klein commercials. I remember all the controversy around her. I lined up to see Blue Lagoon. I saw all those movies she made. But she was massive. And yes, everybody really did project onto her everything.”

“My guess, my hope is that those actors are doing it because they feel it's important to the story, integral to the story. They feel comfortable doing it. They don't feel that they're being exploited or objectified, but rather helping tell a story that they feel good about and that they want to tell. And I can't imagine today. Trying to get anybody to do any of that against their will. It just seems inconceivable to me. But that doesn't mean that a young woman wouldn't still feel the same pressure to make somebody who is her authority happier. Right. Or get the”

“And he said, fine. Other people are comfortable with it, and we'll ask them. And if they are, they'll do it. And if they're not, they won't. And you certainly won't. I couldn't believe that I was allowed to Say that and that somebody wouldn't be completely put off, never mind a man, whether he's gay or not. And so my guess is that the kind of sexualizing that you're discussing or the nature of it”

“Daughters Is on right now? I don't want to know about Yeah, I think it. I think it depends very much on the actors. Conversations that didn't used to happen, to my knowledge, are happening. In the old days, I'm going to say that you were told what you were going to do. And if you express concern or resistance or objected, you simply wouldn't get the part. And one of the only things that Darren and I talked about when we met at ET on the Uppery side to talk about Doing a show called Sex and City, I said that I'm not comfortable with nudity. I've never done it and didn't want to start then and certainly don't want to start now. I thought that that might be a deal breaker for him because the show was so much about the candid conversations in word, but also in action.”

“By herself She said, I've organized it all. I found a crowded row with one seat left in the middle, so nobody is going to talk to me. They won't be talking over each other because they would have already taken that seat. And then that started this conversation about eating alone. I said, I love going to the movies alone. I like eating alone. And my daughter said my other daughter, her twin said, I can think of nothing better than a meal by myself with a book.”

“No, they're not. But you know what's curious? Once again, I don't know your children, you have much younger and slightly older. My daughters go to the movies all the time longer. Interestingly, my daughter asked me the other day if she could go see the new Spider-Man movie.”

“Whatever I don't think about it yet. I mean, I'm cognizant of it and it's the larger role it's playing. And I think there is going to come a time very soon where you start. Including that in your conversations about development. I don't know. But I'm not resistant to it. I just don't entirely understand it as a scripted.

“I do that with Facebook Not call you that. Your face shall not call you that. I shall not. Your stupid new name. It's been a hard adjustment. How do I think about streaming? I still wanted us. To drop on Sunday nights at 9 o'clock I love a standing date. I love waiting for a standing date. I love reading a book before I read the last page. I don't read the last page of a book first. I like to have an experience and then share it and talk about it and ponder it and dream about it. It's a whole new world for me, the idea of as an audience watching six, seven, eight episodes in a row, it astounds me that their time exists, but also that you take away that drawn out.

“Yeah, you know, being a playwright is really hard work, and there's certainly not enough theaters to produce enough plays for many to make a living. But there is a singular approach. To the playwright that doesn't exist, I would say in television, you know, the writer is quite powerful, quite powerful and the showrunner. But that as streaming has Imposed itself happily in our lives in a lot of ways, the economics, they don't add up for a lot of writers. And I think also we haven't adapted simultaneously to these small orders of shows. An order for season is 8, 10. Right. It used to be. It used to be 22, 24, 28. And that's just a huge difference.”

“Unions are a large group. It just seems impossible not to have a real genuine conversation about the ways in which people share in those profits And I don't know, I don't know how to settle that. I don't know what those numbers are because they seem so vast and big and the difference, the gulf that seems to exist right now is quite significant. But I find it impossible to not have the conversation in good faith.”

“I think they're going to strike. And I think it's not surprising. And I think that These new platforms have forced a conversation. And I think that it's very hard to argue against sharing a piece of the extraordinary pie that exists. And certainly for writers, because We have no place to show up if we don't have a script. And for actors, I remember when I first started working for HBO and there wasn't a blueprint or a business model. That could talk about residuals. So HBO could show something, say, 25 times before they paid you X amount of dollars. Well, guess how many times, you know? Yeah, right. You're constantly adapting and technology is far better than I do. It stays ahead of the worker in a lot of ways.”

“And the reason that I insist on being involved in everything I do, I mean, first of all, I own the shoe company outright. It's mine 100%. It was 51% mine before my partner passed. It is just the way I like to work. I don't feel I'm any good to a customer or anybody else if I can't answer to all of it. That's why I work in the store all the time. It's why I do PAs all the time. It's why I'm in constant conversation with the fellows at In Vivo. It's why we grow together. Because I just feel it's a more principled way of frankly asking for people's hard earned dollars. So for me, I like the responsibility two and for Product and the experience. I don't know if that makes sense. No”

“I think we're accustomed to not having authority, maybe less than power. It's the authority or to be part of the conversation. And I think what happens is, well, for me at least, is that, and I'm still a hired handoff, and I wasn't a producer on Hocus Pocus. I wasn't a producer on a bunch of movies I've done in the recent past. But once you are included in the conversation and you like it and it's interesting and conversation, it's very hard to remove yourself.”

“And I really understood money. I was surprised that it wasn't the math that I had spent time agonizing over in school. It was an entirely different math. And the math is humans. And the minute you put people into the conversation, so whether it's minimums in Italy for a leather or a velvet or a satin, it's people. So you have to think, okay, so a person is making this and it's asking this of them and it's asking for more of this person. And all of a sudden when there were people involved, I was like, well, I'm good at math. I can do math. And when I don't know, I'm going to just ask somebody who does know and I'm going to shut up and not contribute until I know what you're talking about. Yeah. And it's just been...”

“I do. Well, first of all, Darren initially said when I first sat down with him to talk about sex in the city, he said, and you know, you'll produce the show. And I was like, Darren, I've never produced before. I don't know anything about producing. He said, you've been on a set your whole life, you know a lot. So just learn then. If you don't want to call yourself a producer the first year, let's call you a consultant and just be in every meeting and listen and learn, which is what I did. And I think once I started taking more responsibility and really listening to everything from uni negotiations to our budgets to why we couldn't afford rain to getting an actor, to”

“Well, that'd be a reason to not do it Well, a few years ago, I got a call from my agent saying that these two gentlemen from New Zealand had called and asked about doing a partnership, a collaboration in the wine category. I thought that was silly. And I was completely ill-equipped. They encouraged me to get on the phone with them. And so I said, listen, I just know nothing. Unless you're willing to really teach me and take the time and allow me to learn. And I only get involved if I'm 100% involved, but that means I have to be informed. And they said, yes And they initially, of course, wanted to do a Sauvignon Blanc because their vineyards are in the Marlborough region, which makes perfect sense. And we worked and blended and worked and blended.”

“Same day that I did January of 1977, we had all the same points of reference and he had all these relationships with factories in Tuscany and said, No, we can do this differently. And it'll be. Complicated and will have to be strategic, but there is a way to launch a shoe brand handmade from Italy and be at a third of the price point typically or many other luxury brands that are made in Italy. And thus it was born and that's the brand.”

“When you're talking about producing handmade shoes in Italy, which is I think inarguably still the greatest place to produce shoes is it's expensive and the price points are very high and the materials are costly and the margins are tough. A friend of mine said why are you not doing this? And I said really the only person I want to produce shoes with is George Malcolmus who had been the CEO and had been the president of Manola. He brought Manolo here 100 years ago and I knew him. So I just summoned the courage and I called him up and I said, Would you ever consider doing? A shoe collection with me, a shoe brand, and he said, Be at my office tomorrow morning. And it turned out he arrived in New York.”

“Yeah, I mean, I think there is a place for that and it's necessary. And this was a long time ago, but I felt that if, in fact, I wanted to be able to talk about this brand with enthusiasm and knowledge and wear the shoes that I had to offer something. That had connective tissue to what they associated with me. And so I passed up all the opportunities to work in the shoe category in ways that were masks. So producing shoes in China, a lot of money, big sales, fast fashion, particular to shoes. I just didn't feel in principle that I could do it. Was confounding to a lot of people because there was a lot of money offered. But for me, I felt the way that I wanted to do it was different, was really a connection to the kind of shoes I had been wearing on the show. And that's a hard thing to do because”

“But nonetheless. As your character Well, over the course of the, I would say the latter part of the last season of the show, opportunities presented themselves, which would not have previous. The first was fragrance, which I am launched, I don't know, 15 years ago. And that was an experience that was very fulfilling and successful and creative. And I got to work with people who were extremely good at what they did. And then when the show ended, there were opportunities to work in the shoe category. I didn't feel That I knew enough and the more I engaged in those conversations, the more it became clear to me that what everybody mostly wanted was for me to produce mass. And I didn't. Feel that would be honorable.”

“When Michael and I typically, historically we meet before a season starts and he talked about the idea of Aiden coming back and how and why In typical fashion for me, I just have enormous trust in his instincts. I think he's a Crazy skilled writer and always knows. No matter what the response is, how and where and why we make a choice. And it was Really nice to be back with him and I like very much the story we get to tell, and I think the time having passed such a significant amount of time really allows for the relationship to be both familiar and new.”

And also, I fear I will never offer up the response people are wanting, which is just catnip and fuel, because it's just, you know, it eclipses this extraordinary experience that has been hugely joyful.

“At this very consequential moment in Carrie's life in the show. And it's just a tiny moment, it's a phone call. And it was kind of devastating to have it be leaked. But I will say it's sort of dispiriting to keep having the conversation about this only because it just doesn't reflect how I feel about her.
