KRISTIN DAVIS

I may not be perfect, but I'm trying.

Sometimes, when you're acting, you are so in the moment that you don't even remember what just happened.

I'm not about to go out and buy a snake for a pet. I mean, I may have faced a few fears but I'm not insane.

I would never describe Charlotte as a prude - maybe at the start, but that was in comparison to the other girls. She wasn't willing to do the stuff they were doing - and I mean, thank goodness!

I'm an actress who likes a strong, communicative director.

I was very poor and I was a waitress, and it's hard to be a poor waitress in New York.

Where I come from, a lot of people didn't have money, but they didn't have gangs or drugs either.

Sometimes it would be nice to just have some red wine with dinner, but it's not worth the risk. I have a great life, a great situation. Why would I want to risk self-destructive behaviour?

I'm not really much of a shopper. I have to say that I'd definitely prefer good sex. What makes good sex? Oh my god. I think you need to feel free and you have to really trust the other person. And you have to have that strange, mysterious chemical connection.

Personally, I don't think we could do such a show if we didn't get along. The subtext of all this is that we're women in a show so we can't possibly get along. It's not like they write about The Sopranos like that.

We were very rich culturally. One Sunday each month, we would do this thing called Chamber Pots at somebody's house. A classical music group would come over and we'd have dinner. There were thirty people - parents and kids - and we'd sit on the floor and listen to this beautiful music.

I like green or brown eyes. Tall but not overwhelmingly so. I like men who do yoga and meditate.

This is going to sound strange, but I really didn't think I would pass 30. I don't know why or whatever, I just didn't. That's a very weird thing to say, I'm sorry. I don't know. Maybe it's because I was drinking so much as a youth.

If I was going to do anything, I'd be a producer, only because I'd like to have a say in what gets made and what doesn't.

Alcoholism is a genetically predisposed disease and it does run in my family. I also think I felt like a misfit. I was in the South, everybody was blonde. I just didn't feel like I fitted in. It was sort of my way of fitting.

Let's just say that I don't think our show has very much in common with the book any more.

We all get so caught up in our day-to-day lives and have so many gripes. But when you see the way others live and how they make the best of it, you'll realize how lucky you are.

I drank a lot when I was a teenager and I don't drink any more, because that's when I thought, you know, I'm gonna end up a car wreck.

So it was good for me to play a likable person and it was just an amazing situation to be in.

Everyone would talk about their diets and working out and what it made me do was go to craft services where all the food for the cast and crew was and I would eat.

I probably believe in God in a non-denominational way.

I'd wanted to be an actress my whole life, that was my goal, that was all I cared about.

I'm just happy when people want me to work for them.

If I'm walking very, very fast down Madison Avenue in the middle of the day, I'll say I'm stopped 10 times.

I also like men who like dogs. I couldn't date a man who doesn't like my dog.
