How do you assume Carrie’s modified as an individual from Intercourse and the Metropolis to And Simply Like That…? That is somebody who was of their 30s and now they’re of their 50s. I feel she appears extra chill.
[Nods.] Aren’t you completely different to the way you had been 10 years in the past? You’re extra outfitted to cope with the issues which are tougher to cope with. You realize extra, you’ve had extra experiences. You’ve harm someone, they’ve harm you, you’ve disillusioned someone, they’ve disillusioned you. You fell quick at work, you had been nice, you bought fired, you bought employed, you’re simply higher at life. It’s fascinating that individuals are like, “She’s a lot extra mature…”
Do different individuals say this to you?
Oh, all day. And I’m like, in fact she is! Season 1, her husband handed away and I feel she handled it so freaking effectively. There’s a lot the Aristocracy connected to grief; I assumed she was beneficiant about it, she wasn’t narcissistic. And then you definately’re recovering, you’re resurfacing. She’s reaching out once more, she’s seeing what exists on the planet for her. So all that stuff informs you—I hope.
So it’s not shocking to me that she’s “extra chill,” as you set it, extra philosophical… not hysterical. When there’s a revelation that Aidan shares along with her, 20 years in the past she would have marched off and talked to her mates like, “I ought to depart him and that’s not what we understood and that’s not the association!” This time she was like, “Properly, what do you assume? As a result of that is what I used to be considering.” It’s not drama or pointless hysteria.
I’m the identical age as Carrie was within the first season of SATC and I’m semi doing her job, though our lives are very completely different. Do you may have any recommendation on how you can be extra Carrie?
I really feel such as you don’t want it. You don’t want my recommendation. Take a look at you. What do you’re feeling is absent in your life? The place is the deficit?
Properly, other than the walk-in wardrobe…
Remember that was Perry Road, that was that little condo. And that closet was massive, nevertheless it wasn’t shiny. It was kinda nasty, in a great way, are you aware what I imply? And crammed with, initially, used stuff, classic stuff. And by the best way, you seem like you’d have an incredible closet.
