A glittering disco ball spins from the ceiling, but the music is something I've never heard, discordant and haunting and insistent, the kind of music that demands you dance.

If I'm with a man, is that going to prevent me from achieving my goal? What sacrifices will I have to make in terms of being myself, if I'm with a man? Something that young women find out really quickly is that when you start dating, all of a sudden you're supposed to have a role. You're not allowed to just be yourself.

The joke that I make is that there are instances on the TV series that happen to me, - except on Sex and the City they always make it better or worse than real life and I am actually saying that in a joking way.

My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly, it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.

What Sex and the City did for sex and relationships, Lipstick Jungle does for success and power.

Love is dangerous, if you know it's dangerous, that makes you treasure it, and you'll work harder to keep it.
