Despite playing the lead in a TV series about sexual relationships, Sarah Jessica Parker has always had a no-nudity clause in her contract. She has never done nude scenes in anything she has ever done and is always careful to take work that does not embarrass any of her family members.

Admits to being quite prudish and clean-living. Even as a teenager, she never rebelled and was very straight-laced; she once went to a party and was so shocked by the amount of alcohol that was there that she made her father take her home straight home. She even had reservations about Sex and the City when she first read its script owing to its explicit content. However, once she signed up to it, she was dedicated to the show and is proud of its success.

Orignally, she was set to appear with a cameo in Lovelace as Gloria Steinem. But eventually her scenes did not make the final cut. The role was originally given to Demi Moore , who dropped out due to health issues. Parker accepted the role a week before filming ended.

With an income of $30 million, she ranked #2 in Forbes Magazine list of "10 Highest Paid Actress of 2010-2011". She was placed behind Angelina Jolie , who also earned $30 million. However, $18 million of Parkers income was not based on her work in entertainment, but gathered by her collaborations with Halston and the best-selling fragrance NYC.

In 2014, Vogue created the video "73 Questions with Sarah Jessica Parker" in which an interviewer followed her around her apartment and asked a series of random question, all done in just one shot.

Hugh Grant has been her co-star in two films.

In May 2015, she created a minor media frenzy. On her Instagram profile, she posted a teasing photo of herself with a shopping bag, that would later be revealed to be a part of her new collaboration with Bloomingdales. However, the photo went viral before the reveal, when it proved so ambiguous, that several fans believed the photo teased a third Sex and the City movie. Several online outlets reported about the possibility of a new entry in the series and an unaware and puzzled Cynthia Nixon , co-star of the show, was asked about the announcement during a live interview. In the end, Warner Bros. Studios had to make an official statement that there were no plans for a "Sex and the City 3".

Has worked twice with Tim Burton , which makes him her most frequent director outside her colleges from the "Sex and the City" franchise.

Once, live on air, she called up the radio show "Opie & Anthony" and called them out for heavy criticism of her and her appearance at the 2000 MTV Movie Awards.

Launched her own line of handbags.[March 2017].

Despite her reputation as a fashion icon from her time on "Sex and the City" , she has in recent years become conscious of the high cost of fast fashion, and hence will only buy second-hand clothes for her children and her shoe line only makes high-quality shoes made to last and created by Italian cobblers for a living wage instead of the usual Chinese factory workers. Additionally, the costumes on her show "Divorce" are all second-hand. Her viewing of the film The True Cost was the turning point for her.

She sits on the New York City Ballets Board of Directors.

Celebrity and the media are reliant on each other - always have been -,but we have lost the elegance in that relationship, somehow.

Fashion is a part of my work. I feel a responsibility to be presentable,to dress up if the occasion calls for it. But, really, fashion does not,play that big a role in my life these days.

in sex or counseling.

But I work in an industry where appearance is everything and sometimes,I have to work hard at looking good.

So many roads. So many detours. So many choices. So many mistakes.

I never wanted to be a celebrity; I never wanted to be famous. And in my daily life, I work really hard to not trade on it in any way.

Balls are to men what purses are to women.

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.

Men who are too good looking are never good in bed because they never had to be.

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.
