NPK: Do you still think of yourself as a real-life Carrie Bradshaw?
CB: I created that character as my alter ego when I was writing “Sex And The City.” The character on the TV show has definitely gone in a different direction. I didn't marry my Mr. Big. I'm about being your own Mr. Big. That's really my message to women -- be your own Mr. Big. It’s one of the messages of my one-woman show because it is about success as well. But, of course, everybody still calls me the OG Carrie Bradshaw.
NPK: You pioneered the movement of women embracing and owning their sexuality with “Sex And The City.” What do you think of “And Just Like That,” and how it's approaching women in middle age?
CB: The TV series has been on in some form for over 25 years. It goes in its own direction, which makes sense, and one absolutely wants that because everybody who works on the show has to bring their own experience to it. They do, and that's terrific. I enjoy “And Just Like That” very much. I don't actually have anything to do with the show, but they give me a credit and a producer fee, which is fantastic.
NPK: How do you feel about the story line Miranda has taken?
CB: A lot of people objected to certain storylines, but I don't have a problem with them. And like the Miranda storyline, the fact is that I know at least a couple of women who have had a similar story line. I really like that character, and that's New York these days.
