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.

In Abracadabra (1993), she played a witch who was executed during the Salem Witch Trials in the late 1600s. While researching her family history for the show Généalogie V.I.P (2010), Parker was shocked to discover that her 10th great-grandmother Esther Elwell was arrested in Salem in the late 1600s for committing "sundry acts of witchcraft" and choking a neighbour to death. Esther's case never went to court, she escaped with her life and the accusation ended the Salem Witch Trials.

Is the only one out of the four main female actresses of Sex and the City (1998) not to have done any nudity in the show, because she has a strict no-nudity clause in her contract.

Despite her reputation as a fashion icon from her time on Sex and the City (1998), 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 (2016) are all second-hand. Her viewing of the film The True Cost (2015) was the turning point for her.

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 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.

Thank you. I've never won anything in my life. - on winning her 2000 Golden Globe Award for Sex and the City (1998).

I tell my friends married life is boring, but that's just a fun thing to say to make single people feel better.

Sarah Jessica is fine, Sarah, SJP, SJ, hey you, anything. [on how to address her]

The hardest part of leaving the show [Sex and the City (1998)] was this endless gypsy-like life that I'm back into, where it's like being the new kid in school all the time, which for some people is very easy but for me is not. I don't really like change, and I would like everything to be the same constantly, except that I love being terrified.

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