1 00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are 2 00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: you a Charlotte? Hi? Everybody, We're going to do another 3 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: episode of Give Me Your Question, So here we go. 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 1: The first thing that I wanted to talk about was, 5 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: this is just kind of a bizarre thing that has 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: been happening since we started this podcast. So in my mind, 7 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: I was like, yes, I'd love to rewatch Sex and 8 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: the City because I haven't ever rewatched it, right, And 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 1: that'll be super interesting because it was a long, long 10 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: time ago, almost thirty years ago, and I really had 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: no idea that people were going to be paying so 12 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:42,639 Speaker 1: much attention to what I said. So there's been these 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,200 Speaker 1: crazy headlines and my mother has called me and asked 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: me about them because her friends talked to her about them, 15 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: and it's just been a little bit overwhelming, I have 16 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: to say. And I just thought, you know what this is, 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: like thirty years ago, I did not think anybody was 18 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: going to care. I mean, I thought the fans would care, 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: and you guys do care, thank goodness. And I feel 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: like you guys know the truth of what I'm saying. 21 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: But sometimes I see these headlines and I do get 22 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: a little concerned about people who maybe see the headlines 23 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: but don't necessarily listen to the podcast, that they might 24 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: not have the right understanding of what I was saying. 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: So just some of the weird ones, you know what 26 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: I said, I said the cult like rules. I don't 27 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: know that I said rules, but I definitely said the 28 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,319 Speaker 1: word cult. And of course that, of course is a 29 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 1: headline now that the producers forced us to do things. 30 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: This is so not the case, you guys, Oh my gosh. 31 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 1: This was that pat Field have a very strong vision 32 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: and that's what we love about pat Field, and that's 33 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: why we hired pat Field. And my fashion sense was like, uh, nonexistent, right, 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: So I was just really happy to be told what 35 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: was cool and what was in It wasn't rules. The 36 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: producers didn't care one way or the other. I mean, 37 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: they cared that the show looked great, but I mean 38 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: I don't think they cared about the specifics of you know, 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: how we made it look great or whatever. They were 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: not involved, so there was no producers making us do 41 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: any rules or whatever. Anyway. That's one. Then the other 42 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: is you know, the whole you know, horrible mistake I 43 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: made about saying the word forced when I was laughing 44 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: about Michael Patrick and me having to flash my boob 45 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: in the year two thousand, so I laugh. Now, I 46 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: don't ever want one of my good friends to get 47 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: hurt because of something stupid that I said. And that's 48 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: what I feel like happened because I said a word 49 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 1: that they could take out of context, and they did, 50 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: and you guys on the social media really cheered me up. 51 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: But once I went on the Today Show because you 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: were like took Kristin out of context, and I really 53 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: appreciate that. And I don't know if you're aware, but 54 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: sometimes when you look at comments, it can be dark, 55 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: and sometimes it can really make you feel so much better. 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: And that's what you guys do for me on my 57 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: Instagram page and on the podcast Instagram page, and think 58 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: you keep it coming because sometimes I really really need it. 59 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: And then also people still want to talk about this 60 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: poor actor that I lend money to, and again I 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: really really just wanted to say, don't lend money to 62 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: people that you're involved with. That was my only point, 63 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: Like it just changes the dynamic. It makes it kind 64 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: of weird, or it has the potential at least to 65 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: make it kind of weird, and I never will say 66 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: this person's name, and I feel really badly that I 67 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,399 Speaker 1: even opened that box up. So those are the ones 68 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: that come to mind. But honestly, just in general, the 69 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: whole idea that people are like, uh, creating these headlines 70 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: is still I'm just trying to get my mind around 71 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: it because I just thought we could just talk freely, 72 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And I do feel with 73 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: you guys that are listening that I am just talking freely, 74 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: and I'm really trying to keep that going. I just 75 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: don't want any of my friends to get hurt, you know. Okay, 76 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: So that's the end of that. Now we have some 77 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: other questions from people on our I think from our 78 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: instagram is that right? 79 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 2: Easton is here, Hi, Christin, this is so fun.

People are just being 82 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,559 Speaker 2: in on the door. 83 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: Yelling say, I'm glad you were there to listen to 84 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: what the head I. 85 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: Wrote everything down on my stenopad. So we're so excited 86 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 2: for season three even just like that, I am part 87 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 2: of the horde that is so excited. 88 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: About the show's nice. 89 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: So a lot of these questions are about and just 90 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: like that, this person says, seeing the trailer got me 91 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: so excited for and just like that, we see you 92 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: say owed to Aiden's postcard to carry in the trailer. 93 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 2: Do you support Aiden's five year rule and even Carrie 94 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: for waiting for him? 95 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: I know, isn't that a funny little thing? Yeah, it's funny. 96 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: I do not support that, me, Kristen, but Charlotte probably 97 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: does because you know, for Charlotte, she's just always optimistic. 98 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, when you've had this long 99 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: history which Aiden and Carrie have had, and obviously Charlotte 100 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 1: believes in love, and Charlotte was pro Big as we know, 101 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: but Big is not here anymore, sadly, and that was 102 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: obviously really hard for Charlotte also to watch Carrie go through. 103 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: So I think that Charlotte would want Carrie to have love, 104 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: and if Carrie tells her that that's what Aiden, I 105 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: think Charlotte is going to support that because that's the 106 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: kind of friend that Charlotte is, and I support Charlotte 107 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: being that kind of friend. Me personally, I feel like 108 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of complicated and I'm not sure, So let 109 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: me just say, let me just say that I really 110 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: love this season and I hope that everybody else does. 111 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: And it's super interesting writing Like what they wrote I 112 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: think is very good. I really really looked forward every 113 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: week to seeing what they wrote and watching Sarah Jessica 114 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: at the read throughs, and I can't wait to see 115 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: the finished product. I haven't seen anything yet. A little 116 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,239 Speaker 1: in the trailer interesting, yeah, I mean I've seen tiny 117 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: bits and pieces when I had to go do adr, 118 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 1: which is like, you know, the. 119 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 2: National Dialogue recording, thank you so much. 120 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: Of course she knows that was fast man, you're on it. 121 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 1: We also call it looping, right, yes, so when I 122 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: had to go do that, I've seen tiny bits and 123 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 1: pieces like but the whole trailer was more than I 124 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: have seen. So I also was just like, what, I've 125 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: got to watch this again. So that was exciting to 126 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: get to see other people watching it as well and 127 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: obviously weighing in with all of their thoughts and opinions, 128 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: and some of them are very strong. But we love 129 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: that also, like I mean, no offense, but we're not 130 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: twenty right, do you know what I mean? It's like, 131 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: why like five years. 132 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: It's a long time, very long time. 133 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: Very long time to wait. So I agree, but I 134 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: also feel like it's very hard to be you know, 135 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: you're never really in someone's relationship, right, you don't really know. 136 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,600 Speaker 1: And I also do feel like Carrie really believes in love. 137 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: She does. 138 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: Eass he's worn out, you guys, He's like, oh god, 139 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: she does it? Anyway, go ahead. 140 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: This question comes from me. I'm putting it to the 141 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 2: top of the pile. So I really enjoyed Carrie's podcast 142 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: subplot as someone in the business. That was something I 143 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: loved in season one. 144 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: I'm glad you loved it. Wasn't that a nice studio. 145 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: It was a great studio. They had real microphones, there 146 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: was a for real set. Yeah, it was awesome. So, 147 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 2: you know, spoiler alert, the podcast goes away, Carrie starts 148 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 2: her own at the end of season two or something. 149 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: It seemed to last. 150 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I was curious. I don't know what the 151 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: timeline is in terms of you filming if you had 152 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: started your podcast yet. 153 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: No, okay, I hadn't. We were working when the idea 154 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: came to me, and I was really excited and also nervous, 155 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: and I mean, I might add rightly, so no, that 156 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: we're in it but I was very much feeling like 157 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: I needed to go check in with Michael Patrick and 158 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: Sir Jessica about it. So I talked to everyone on 159 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: the phone. I had a really great talk with Amy Sugarman, 160 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: our executive producer, and she's a super fan and really 161 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: blew me off my feet, you know. But then I thought, 162 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: I've really got to make sure that everybody feels good 163 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: about this, because I only want to do it if 164 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 1: everyone feels good about this. So I think I which 165 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: one did I go to first? I think I went 166 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: to Sir Juska first, and she immediately was on board 167 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: and really supportive and very cheerleadery. Then I went to 168 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: Michael Patrick. He had done last year the writer's podcast 169 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: that was on the Max podcast exactly, the Companion podcast, 170 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: which was very much about the writer's room and the 171 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: writer's process, and it was great, but it was very compelling. Yeah, good, 172 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: thank you. I mean I didn't want to like tread 173 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: on his area or whatever. He one percent was on it. Obviously, 174 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: we're rewatching sex in the City, not and just like 175 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: that that we do mention it obviously, but he came 176 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: up with the title are you a Charlotte Like two 177 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: sentences into my explanation, you know, very hardcore supporter and 178 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: Cynthia was very low key. Cynthia and I almost did 179 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: a podcast many years ago, whoa like right after I know, 180 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: this is the third podcast that's been brought to me. 181 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: And it was just weird timing too, I think, and like, 182 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: in some ways I just didn't have my mind back 183 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 1: around it. The podcast this Cynthia and I were going 184 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: to do, then Willie and I were going to do, 185 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: which was all before and just like that got Greenlitz. 186 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 2: Oh wow. 187 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 1: And I think it was different to think about reflecting 188 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 1: back on the work without us also getting to make 189 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: fresh work. And I think somehow getting to reconvene and 190 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 1: be together gave me kind of the grounding to be 191 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: able to look back and not just feel like I 192 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: was living in the past. Yeah, because that had been 193 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: my fear. But I don't feel like that at all, 194 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 1: because obviously things are so different. You know, it's it 195 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: is like looking at a time capsule, you know, it's 196 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: really interesting. So we were towards the end, we were 197 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: almost done, and I just went to them and they 198 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: were immediately on board. So then I was like, okay, 199 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: goo let's go. 200 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 2: I was wondering, like if you had been doing it, 201 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 2: and then like, there's a podcast thing in the in 202 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 2: the scripture setting. I'm like, well, that's not how it's 203 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: actually done, you know, because I have a podcast. 204 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,479 Speaker 1: Oh I would never. First of all, I think everyone 205 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 1: at this point has been on a bunch of podcasts, 206 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: and Bobby Lee has a podcast. Yes, And you know, 207 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: the thing that I think was funny was that when 208 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: we saw the set, we were like, this is the 209 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: most glamorous podcast that we have ever seen. Like who 210 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 1: gets this? Yes, and obviously not me, but we are 211 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: now in a very glamorous screen room. So you guys, 212 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 1: you guys are you guys are moving us up the day? 213 00:10:48,520 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 2: Okay, great, this question comes in from someone. It was 214 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: mentioned if you asked this question, I'm. 215 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: Sorry, I will not be named. Oh my god. 216 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 2: It was mentioned earlier in your episode with Michael Patrick 217 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 2: that the writers intentionally didn't have anyone from the girls 218 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 2: families an outside world come into the story. But for fun, 219 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: what do you think Charlotte's life was like growing up? 220 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: That's cute. I do think it. Also in this finale, 221 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: don't I mention something about Sororities. I mean, I think 222 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: she went to Smith We know this. I think she 223 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 1: was in Sororities. I think I say it. We know 224 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 1: she was a teen polo model at the mall. I 225 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: believe somewhere. I feel like maybe I made this up 226 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: that she grew up in Connecticut, which I think makes sense. Yeah, 227 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if I made it up. 228 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 2: Connecticut. 229 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: Okay, are you are you googling? 230 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 2: I'm googling. I have a computer in front of me. 231 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: Are you seeing anything? 232 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: Yeah? Really raised in Connecticut. I don't know the exact 233 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: city or township. 234 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, because I don't think I know, so I'm not 235 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: surprised the Google doesn't know. If I don't know. 236 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 2: Here we go early life. We should have gone a 237 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 2: Young Charlotte show on HBO. That should have happened. Wealthy 238 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: family in Connecticut. She was a member of Kappa Kappa 239 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 2: Gamma Sorority. Oh my gosh. Let's see she's the newest 240 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 2: friend of the group. 241 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: That is true because they have a flashback to the 242 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,080 Speaker 1: eighties and I'm not there. That's when Carrie wears that 243 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: pink cowboy hat. Yeah, there are some kind of a 244 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: like it looks like a college party, but I'm not there. 245 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're in college or not. 246 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 2: But yeah, in the second movie, they confirmed that you 247 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 2: met Carrie in nineteen eighty seven. Oh well, okay, only 248 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: at the most a year before Samantha. Okay, now things 249 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 2: are getting kind. 250 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: Of iffy meshed up. 251 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, but that means there's a blank slate for what early. 252 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: Because I think we've now you know, done our due 253 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: diligence on trying to figure out the roots of Charlotte, 254 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: and you know, that has been like a side thing 255 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: of the podcast that has really been so helpful for me, 256 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,599 Speaker 1: because we've gotten confirmation from Kendice Bushnell that she was 257 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: not based on anyone in particular. We've gotten confirmation from 258 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 1: Michael Patrick that when he first got there, he thought, 259 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how to write for that character. I mean, 260 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: we've gotten a lot of interesting confirmations of what I 261 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: was feeling at the time, which was that she didn't 262 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: have kind of the same fleshed out storylines that the 263 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 1: others had, and I had a lot of anxiety about that. 264 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 1: And now I have a lot less anxiety. Obviously it's 265 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: thirty years later, but also because now I know that 266 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: no that was all actually real and they just created 267 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: me as we went Which what a lucky person I am, 268 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, what a fantastic situation 269 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: to find yourself in. Slightly scary at the time, because 270 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: when you've been an out of work actor for like 271 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: roughly a decade, you know, a little bit less than 272 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 1: a decade, you know, you're very vulnerable about it, all right, 273 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: and you want to make sure you have a place 274 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 1: a place in this thing that you want to be 275 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: a part of, which I did feel on the set, right, 276 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: But when I would go home and think about, like, 277 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: who is Charlotte, I don't know, because they didn't know, 278 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: you know, so you know, you're kind of making it 279 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: up as you go. And then as we found out 280 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: from Jenny Biks, Jenny Bicks grew up on the Upper 281 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: East Side, So when Jenny Bicks came, I feel like 282 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: Charlotte got a lot more kind of depth and grounding 283 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: in the world that we were in because Jenny brought that. 284 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking about as an actor, you obviously 285 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: want more as much information as possible about the character, 286 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 2: but like if you get like a Bible or something 287 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: of their whole entire life. That must be intimidating too, 288 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: to make sure you. 289 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,520 Speaker 1: First of all, it never happens. Second of all, I mean, 290 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: I do know actors that create that bible, and they 291 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 1: might depending on the situation, they might create it by themselves, 292 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: or they might create it with an acting teacher, acting coach, 293 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: or if they're really close to the showrunner or the writers, 294 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: they might create it together. But it's a rare thing, 295 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: and I think with us, I mean, I don't think 296 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: well asked Sir Jessica if she did that. I don't 297 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: think she did that. But I think that Sarah Jessica 298 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: already because she was in New Yorker and she really 299 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: was an it girl. She was a downtown it girl, 300 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 1: which was a little bit different than Candace's version of 301 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: the it girl. But she knew kind of the vibe. 302 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: You don't know, I'm saying she knew who these people 303 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: were just from being in the Manhattan like nightlife, you know, 304 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: the I don't know if she would describe it that way, 305 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: but you don't. We'll ask her when we see her 306 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: next week. But I think that she already had such 307 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: a grounded sense of who they were and how they 308 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: dressed and what they did. I so didn't have any 309 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: of that. Like I had lived in New York already, 310 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: but I was an out of work actor waitress, very 311 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: very different life, very very different life. So part of 312 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: me I was just like, how do I do this? 313 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: What do I do? What do I do? And in 314 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: my mind and this is what you do as an actor. 315 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 1: You create the backstory that you need that helps you 316 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 1: to understand who they were. So as I think I've said, 317 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: I would just go up to the Upper east Side 318 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: and I would just walk around the shops, walk up 319 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: and down Madison Avenue and look at the women and 320 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: look at their hair. Most of them had baby carriages, 321 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: some of them didn't. I'd look at their coats, I'd 322 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: look at their bags and try to look at how 323 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: they walked and talked and if they were talking to somebody. 324 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: You know, you're trying to pick up details and then 325 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: you're making the facts up in your mind to back 326 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: up those details. Did that make sense? Yes? 327 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: And I'm picturing you like walking over down in Massive Avenue, 328 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 2: like write, like with like a notebook or something else. 329 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: Seems like something Charlotte would do. 330 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:36,359 Speaker 1: I didn't have a note because I'm a visual memorizer, 331 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: so I would have snapshots. I have snapshots when I 332 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: tell you about it. Wow, still in my mind of 333 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 1: what I saw then, which is why I was trying 334 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: to get her to grow her hair out and they 335 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: had made me cut it. But you can see the 336 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: progression during the first season. I'm like, look, it's getting better. 337 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: It's getting better. It's almost of the place I want it. 338 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 2: Uh. This next question I love because I my New York. 339 00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 2: I grew up on the West coast of my New 340 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 2: York like knowledge was Sex and the City and Seinfeld 341 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 2: that was it, you know. 342 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: And so different, so different. 343 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 2: But I was like, oh, Seinfeld's little cartoon version Sex 344 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 2: and City is what are It's really like? 345 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: This question is so sorry. 346 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 2: Do you think Sex and the City shows a realistic 347 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: depiction of life in Manhattan? 348 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: No? No, unfortunately No. I mean I think it did 349 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: for this tiny group of women, right, because it was 350 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: based on some real people. And as Candice told us 351 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 1: at one point when she was writing the column Sex 352 00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 1: and the City that was in the New York Observer, 353 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 1: she was living in a doorman building, so she was 354 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:37,160 Speaker 1: obviously doing well. I mean, I didn't have the thought 355 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: to ask her, like, were your parents helping you or whatever? 356 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's possible, right, I don't know 357 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 1: that or not to be true, but I do think 358 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,560 Speaker 1: that a lot of these people came from generational wealth 359 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: and were thus at a certain point in New York 360 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: society that would come with generational wealth. But we don't 361 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: really say that in the show either. 362 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean interesting because like Samantha can afford 363 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 2: like I don't have a doubt that can afford her life. 364 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: Well, she was her own pr lawyer. 365 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 2: A lawyer trying to be a partner carries the baffling one. 366 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: Well, carries the baffling one, and this will become an 367 00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: issue as we know, right, carries the baffling one. And Charlotte, 368 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: I do think that in my mind she was supported 369 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: by her parents. You know that because all of well 370 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: at the time, at least the beautiful young girls who 371 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: were working at the galleries were all supported by the parents. 372 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 1: Because you couldn't really be like kind of an assistant 373 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: at an art gallery and make a living, like it's 374 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 1: a tough kind of a job. But yet there are 375 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: there are still gorgeous young people, men and women who 376 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: are doing that and I don't know how that we 377 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 1: should call them up. We should. I should go to 378 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: some art collaries next time in New York. Yes, them 379 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: should do some research. But yeah, I think that that 380 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: there is a assumption that parents were helping, or there 381 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: was trust funds or something. Yeah, but only does never 382 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: mention a trust fund, which I find interesting because I 383 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: always thought there was like some money, but not a 384 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,160 Speaker 1: lot of money. Because once we get to the trade era, 385 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,680 Speaker 1: you know, obviously she wants that apartment, like there's things 386 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: about him that he has that she really loves. 387 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 2: What do you think Charlotte's attachment style is? 388 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 1: And there's a lit I looked at this list, ok, 389 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: because my first thing I thought was she's secure, secure attachment, 390 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 1: because that's definitely where she's at now with Harry. But 391 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: then I was like, oh wait, she was maybe not? 392 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: Maybe not? Then isn't there one there's like anxious attachment. 393 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 2: Anxious preoccupied attachment? I think probably that that's what I 394 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 2: would guess too, a style where people have a fear 395 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: of abandonment and a constant need for reassurance. 396 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: Right, But that makes it sound so awful, but I 397 00:19:55,320 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 1: just really think that's like human normalness. I don't know. 398 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: Maybe that's saying a lot about me. I don't know. 399 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: I just feel like people, especially when you're younger, you know, 400 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: like because obviously in the first season, Charlotte very much 401 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: like believes in love and wants to get married, and 402 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: she puts that right out there. But she's also kind 403 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: of choosy in an interesting way. But I do feel 404 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 1: like she definitely wants to know, you know, like, wants 405 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:30,239 Speaker 1: to be attached and wants affirmation of that. Yeah, I 406 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: think it hard to be objective sometimes. 407 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 2: It is this question here, what is the process like 408 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: prior to shooting an episode with fittings and thinking out 409 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: the looks for the episodes? 410 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, it is a process. Let me tell you 411 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,680 Speaker 1: first of all, as I think you know, we're very, very, 412 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 1: very spoiled. We have just the most incredible costume department 413 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,919 Speaker 1: and costume designers Mollie Rogers, who I had on that 414 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: was so much fun. And Danny Santiago works with her. 415 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 1: He's also amazing, and he has like a vintage world 416 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,159 Speaker 1: at his figuertips that you would not believe. And we 417 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: have many and many other people and all through the 418 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: show we had so many people helping and eventually so 419 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: many designers lending us things, which was great. The only 420 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: the only downside is that we spend a lot of 421 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: times in fittings, like like a lot, like a lot, 422 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: a lot, a lot like hours and hours. I don't know, 423 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: like I think I've had an eight hour fitting. Yeah, 424 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,479 Speaker 1: it's fine. I mean it's part of the job. And 425 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, luckily they really make it fun. I mean, 426 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: if you were trying to do eight hours of like 427 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: suits because you were a lawyer, that would be super boring. 428 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: But because we have this like full fantasy world that 429 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: we're creating, I mean, I am my own character within 430 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,879 Speaker 1: that fancy world, right, so sometimes I walk in the 431 00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: other character. They do it by areas, right, so they'll like, 432 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: there'll be an LTW character aisle, and I'll walk down 433 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 1: that aisle. I'll be like, I want all this stuff. 434 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: I can't have that stuff. I can't even pull that 435 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: stuff off. I mean, she does it, and she does 436 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: it so beautifully, but it's really fun to walk down there. 437 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: Or sometimes I'll go and carry's asle because we have 438 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: the same size put Oh yes, I'll be like, oh 439 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: does she have these slotted for an outfit? 440 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 441 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: And they'll be like, get out of there, Kristen. You know, 442 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 1: it's fun. And then sometimes there were times in the 443 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: past where at the end of the season I would 444 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: take home some of Miranda's clothes because they were like 445 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 1: really wearable every days. 446 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 2: Yeah they look super comfy. 447 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: Super comfy, nice fabrics, good colors, turtlenecks and things. I 448 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: still wear some of them, but yeah, Samantha's clothes. Couldn't 449 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 1: pull those off either. But it is fun, but it's 450 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 1: a lot of work. I remember also when we were 451 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: doing the show, there was never any time for fittings 452 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,440 Speaker 1: because we were working so hard in such long hours. 453 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 1: And I do remember I might have mentioned this with 454 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: Molly that one time when I wrapped at two am, 455 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: they said, you have to go to your fitting and 456 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: I was like ha ha, and they're like, no, no, 457 00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 1: you have to go to your fitting. And I was like, 458 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 1: you got guys, Oh the pain. But there was just 459 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: no other time to do it, so we did it. 460 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: We did it. 461 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 2: During the fittings, Like the wardrobe people are there. I 462 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: assume there's a producer someone there. Now no who is 463 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: giving the like who's given the feedback? I guess on 464 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 2: what you're going to use is it? Like, like, do 465 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: you have any how much? Say do you have as 466 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 2: the actor? Like, oh, I really like this. 467 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,600 Speaker 1: Well it's our world. We have a lot of say 468 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: yeah good. I mean, as we have for a long time, 469 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: you know. I mean I've always said that we've always 470 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: been very involved in all of it. And I have 471 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: felt that even when we had no title, you know, 472 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 1: like now we're executive producers of and just like that. 473 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: But we used to not have any title, but it 474 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: didn't mean that we weren't involved. Michael Patrick would sit 475 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: us down before the season started and run through everything 476 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: with us and say what do you think? Like he 477 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 1: did not have to do that, and he did that, 478 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: which is part of the reason that we have the 479 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: relationship that we do is that I really felt that 480 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: we were respected and considered all the time. But with 481 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: the clothes, I think so pat was very strong, right, like, 482 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: she was very strong, and occasionally she would try to 483 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: talk me into things that I was like, I just 484 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: do not think Charlotte would wear this, and she would 485 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: try for weeks. Okay, sometimes she'd go over my head 486 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: to Darren. I'd be like, Darren, she can't wear it. 487 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense, you know, because Pat's very 488 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: fanciful and doesn't really care about real life, you know, 489 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: and that's kind of the joy. But also sometimes if 490 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: you're playing Charlotte, you kind of gotta care about real 491 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: life a little bit, a little bit. But often sometimes 492 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: too she'd try, she'd say like look at this, and 493 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,680 Speaker 1: you look at it me and be like, god, I 494 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: don't know, and then like over time she'd wear you down, 495 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But it's always a group decision. 496 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: In the fittings. Now we also photograph everything, and we also, 497 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: you know, we're going in the script order, so like 498 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,879 Speaker 1: this is true for all production. I think you have 499 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: the script. Someone in the costume department has done a breakdown, 500 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: so every scene is listed with the description. You know, 501 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: they're at the coffee shop, Charlotte says she's come from work, 502 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 1: something like that, something very practical, like so that you know, 503 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: if there's something that affects her clothing in the scene, 504 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: right then you know they will have already thought about 505 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: let's say it's a coffee shop scene. Those are the 506 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: hardest because everyone's in it, right yea, So they have 507 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: to think about the colors and the textures and the 508 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: daytime or the nighttime, or the cold or the heat. 509 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 1: Theoretically it might not match the actual real cold and 510 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: the heat and the real temperatures out in the world, right, 511 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: but in the story, what season is it? And so 512 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: they'll have an idea. Maybe they've done Cynthia's spinning already, 513 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: but they haven't done Sir Jessica's spinning, and they haven't 514 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: done nicoles, and they maybe have done so Rita's right, 515 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 1: they can show you a picture. Oh, Soerita's wearing, you know, 516 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: cream silk. Cynthia's wearing these bold stripes, so we were 517 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: thinking for you. They'll have pre thought out ideas. So 518 00:25:55,840 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: they'll have maybe like ten things. They're like separates. There 519 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: were dress or pants or whatever. They'll say like, oh, 520 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 1: this might be a great time to wear some pants. 521 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: You know, Sharlotte doesn't wear a ton of pants, right, Oh, 522 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: this might be a great time we wear some pants 523 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: because blah blah blah whatever reason, or we found this 524 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 1: amazing jumpsuit or whatever it is. Right, So they have 525 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: some ideas and then you pick the one you like 526 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: the best. You try it on. It might not fit. 527 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: It might be a color that doesn't work on you. Whatever, 528 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 1: you move on to the next or maybe you think, oh, 529 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: this is so amazing. Let's put it at this dinner scene, 530 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: which is a little bit more glamorous, and this outfit 531 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: is a little you know, it's like this. And then eventually, 532 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: once you get your picks for each thing slotted in, 533 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: they've photographed everything, They've listed everything. Usually almost everything gets 534 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: to be altered, which you know, I think is an 535 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 1: important point or super spoiled. But like, that's why it 536 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: all fits us. It's not like if we went to 537 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,479 Speaker 1: the store and pulled things off the shelves that they 538 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: would fit us like that. It would not be true, 539 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: at least for me. I can only speak for myself. 540 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: But our tailoring department is unbelievably talented. Like they do 541 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,080 Speaker 1: so much work, Adrian, thank you. So then their pictures 542 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: slotted in and they make a book. So for each scene, 543 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 1: let's say that all four of us are five of 544 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: us are in a scene, they'll be every one's picture, 545 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,400 Speaker 1: so you see them together. And then let's say it's 546 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 1: like Harry and Charlotte. They'll have a picture of Emma 547 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 1: and I in the outfits. Then Michael Patrick or whoever's directing, 548 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: and Michael Patrick also because he's executive producer, will look 549 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: at it and approve it because maybe the director had 550 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: a vision. Like when Cynthia directed, Cynthia directed, and I 551 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: can't remember if we talked about this or not. Cynthia directed, 552 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: I want to say the second season when she directed, 553 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: and the really funny thing where I was in my 554 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 1: fitting and she just walked by the door because our 555 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: production offices are upstairs and our fittings in the second floor. 556 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: She walked by the door and she was like, oh, 557 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: you're in here, and I was like yes. So she 558 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 1: was like, let's see. Let's see it, and I was 559 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 1: like okay. And she said, you know, in this particular scene, 560 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 1: I just really pictured you like a fawn. And I 561 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:08,719 Speaker 1: was like, you mean like like a deer. Yes, Like 562 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: you know, like a doied fawn. I was like okay, 563 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: Oh my god. Then we're like what does that mean? 564 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: What does that mean? When she left the room and 565 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: we got out like a kind of a faun card 566 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 1: and I pulled my hair back and I kind of 567 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: put on really long eyelashes. 568 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 2: She tried to like be like Bambi herself. 569 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: Right, I was going for bamby. 570 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 2: The constant professional Kristen Davis.
