"It is the quietness….the space between the words," that some people are afraid of, says Parker.
"Studios were wary of the deeper, heavier plot, preferring to stick to 'fun, fun, fun'," she says.
But as executive-producer with Michael Patrick King, Parker was able to create a product that has both fun and humor as it shows the realities of life during love and heartbreak.
"I know this better than I know anything else. It doesn't mean I'm right. It just means that I care and it means that Michael and I will fight for what we think is the story we should be telling or how we should be telling it," Parker says.
"This animal cannot be about four women running around Manhattan, drinking cosmopolitans and pursing sexual relations. We wouldn't have allowed it….and I hope our audiences wouldn't have allowed it."
Off-screen, Parker describes a very different life than Carrie Bradshaw.
"It's no cosmopolitans, my friend. It's Gristedes, it's Jefferson Market, it's taking the garbage out, it's knowing the sanitation workers. "Good morning Jerry," Parker says with a grin.
But just like Carrie Bradshaw, Parker's true love is New York. "I've loved the city from the moment I stepped foot here" she says.
"Sex and the City" opens Friday, May 30th, nationwide.
