SJP talks more about 'Sex'

Sarah Jessica Parker found time after winning an award at ShoWest in Las Vegas to talk about her upcoming film, based on the hit HBO series "Sex and the City."

What was the best part of making "Sex and the City: The Movie?"

"Honestly, the best part was just being there together on the set the first day. Being together. It took a lot to get this movie back up and running. It's taken 1 1/2 years of my life to cobble it all together and to find ourselves on the set playing these women again. Surrounded by crew who have been there from the beginning, and surrounded on the peripheral by hundreds of women and the paparazzi. It was really kind of heavenly to be there again and shooting at the perfect time in New York City -- the most romantic time -- late summer, early fall. Things just don't generally work out like this. It was a thrill. The whole experience from the first day to the last."

Tell me how you work with Patricia Fields on Carrie's costumes.

"With Patricia, it's extremely collaborative. I think we started talking on the phone with her other designers in probably June or July. My rule with Pat is, I will try anything on. I don't care how ludicrous or ridiculous or silly, because she just loves telling stories with clothes. Every now and then something I find absurd somehow works, so I will try anything on for her. And honestly one of the best parts of the experience is a fitting with Pat and her team, because it's just crazy. It’s the most amazing, beautiful, ridiculous clothes in one room. It's great. She is an incredible storyteller."

Did any of your own clothing line get into the wardrobe?

"My clothing line (Bitten) wasn't (included in the wardrobe for the movie) because, as one of our producers said, you know, there is no Sarah Jessica Parker in Carrie Bradshaw’s world. She doesn't exist, so there can't be a Bitten clothing line."

Makes sense.
