Sarah Jessica Parker doesn't watch And Just Like That...
The 60-year-old actress reprised the role of Carrie Bradshaw to star in the Sex and The City sequel series - but Sarah doesn't enjoy watching herself on-screen.
During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Sarah explained: "I don't not watch it because I'm being cavalier about my relationship [to the project]. I don't watch it because I don't love watching my work [and] myself."
Despite this, Sarah insisted that she cares enormously about the TV show.
The actress explained: "It doesn't touch on how I feel about the experience or how much I care. In fact, it's because I care that I can't watch it.'
Earlier this year, Sarah stressed that she feels proud to play Carrie.
The actress has played the iconic character in Sex and The City and the show's revival series, And Just Like That... - and Sarah admits that she's always relished the experience of playing Carrie.
During an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast, the actress shared: "First of all, the way she was speaking, like her choice of language, I'd never seen or heard a woman talk like that."
Sarah then explained that she respects Carrie's "curiosity about sex and sexual politics".
The actress - who stars in And Just Like That... alongside the likes of Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon - added: "Which is not like me - I don't talk about that at all even with friends. I'll talk about it globally, but I don't sit and share intimate details of my life that way."
Sarah thinks of Carrie as being a "little survivor".
The actress - who is married to Hollywood star Matthew Broderick - explained: "I admired that she was scrappy.
"She was a little survivor. She had instincts to keep her head [up], not always making smart choices and falling short of being the best friend or the best girlfriend or her best self, but I also was very happy that they were writing her that way."

Olivia Dean's new album inspired by Carrie Bradshaw
Olivia Dean's new album is inspired by Sex And The City character Carrie Bradshaw. The 26-year-old singer has revealed that the fictional character, played by Sarah Jessica Parker, served as a big inspiration for The Art Of Loving. She told The Sun on Sunday newspaper's Bizarre column: "I'd never seen Sex And The City before, and started watching it from the beginning. I have been living my Carrie moment – her influence will be there." Olivia also revealed that one particular song on the new album focuses on relationship struggles. She shared: "Something In Between is about when you are between being with somebody and not, and you are like, 'I don't want to just have you in my life, like now we are not supposed to talk?'" Olivia released her debut album, Messy, back in 2023. The singer previously explained that the record explored the experience of falling in love again after a break-up. She told TimeOut: "It's a messy road and I've become quite hardened. My heart has got a hard case." The album featured the single Ladies Room, which was inspired by a drunk conversation that she overheard in the toilets on a night out. Olivia explained: "I was just in the cubicle peeing and I overheard this lady talking. "She was like, 'Girls, if I could give you any advice, never go out with a man who's 20 years your senior.' I recorded her because I thought it was hilarious. "The song originally had her voice at the beginning, but it's illegal to record people. I was in the toilet queue before, so I don't know how to find her. Wherever you are out there, you're my inspiration!" Meanwhile, Olivia also revealed that therapy has helped her to overcome her self-doubts. The singer shared: "There was a big chunk of time where I was in a pattern of being very self-critical – to the point where you just feel so s*** about yourself, comparing your beginning point to everyone else's finished product. "That is just the thief of joy. I was honestly in quite a depressive state. I got out of it: I've been doing therapy and learning how I function and what environment I function best in. Therapy is awesome."

And Just Like That recap: This is the moment we've been waiting for
Elsewhere, I guess Adam's done in Carrie's garden, since the episode opens on Aidan and Duncan sitting silently out there together and Mr Karma has way more time to bury his face in Seema's pits. I'm unsure if 'woman applying deodorant in public' needed a two-episode arc. Seema also got an office, so we could get a whole scene ramping up to the line, 'From WeWork to SheWork!' It's in this scene, when Carrie visits her to have lunch, that our girl finally, finally vents about Aidan's weirdness. She also mentions Big for the first time in years! The awkward courtyard chat with Duncan brings up so much old Aidan residual shame and guilt: her cheating on him with Big and sneaking cigarettes, him wanting her to change her life to mould itself around him, both of them seeing one another as a fresh start despite all the unresolved stuff still lingering. It couldn't go ignored forever. Carrie's late-night writing session with Duncan sends all that steam shooting out. Aidan needs her upstairs eating steaks with him. She doesn't bend to his will the way she has up to this point, and he sulks. When she climbs into bed to wrap herself around him like a koala, he's stewing. As cold as the raw steaks left symbolically on the counter. He sends her away, telling her to shower. 'You smell like smoke,' he basically spits. God, can she start smoking again? After she blows off her own steam in the shoe department, where SJP's IRL BFF Andy Cohen reprises his season six role as 'shoe salesman', she meets Aidan at 'the place we love'. Before her iced tea has even arrived, Carrie needs Aidan to finally stop blaming her for all that old stuff. They have it out. At last! She can't believe she doesn't have Aidan's trust after all the enormous changes she's made for him and with Big's gazillions of dollars. He has trust issues – not had. She was 100 per cent in – not is. Carrie has very real needs, and he's responsible for meeting some of them, which he's proven himself incapable of doing. The way she has been ground down as a result, shrinking herself into this easy, tiny, flexible thing, waiting for him to want her, has been gruelling to watch. This scene almost makes it worth it. I wish it didn't take Carrie this long to come back to herself, but God, I'm glad she's here. Loading At the manse, as a song from Taylor Swift's most verbose era plays (I bet The Woman loves Tortured Poets Department), Carrie removes all the Aidan ephemera from her apartment: two blank postcards and a pillow. Carrie trots off to meet the girls at dinner to discuss their armpits and dizziness, probably. The Woman is looking ahead to the future. Maybe one in which she gets a name. I know, I know – I've had one wish come true this episode, I won't push another one.
