“There was an uproar when our show [#SATC] came on: ‘Women shouldn’t talk like that,’” @KristinDavis says proudly.

Davis excitably recounts how Sarah Jessica Parker phoned to tell her about the ten-episode reboot and how much she had hoped for that call. “I felt like we weren’t done. I had that feeling.”
What were the emotions like being back on set? “Our first read-through of the first three [episodes] was very thrilling and very emotional. I’m going to try not to cry,” Davis says, suddenly sobbing. 
“Being together was good and Willie [Garson] was there and I didn’t know yet [that he was ill]. So that’s really what I think of. It’s still so very hard.”
“It was very intense. We have such a history together, all of us. It was kind of miraculous to all be together,” she says, wiping her eyes.
Was it weird being on set without Kim Cattrall? “Not really, no,” Davis says, laughing nervously. “We haven’t been together in a long time.”

She’s frank about how the criticism affects her — “I feel angry and I don’t want to feel angry all the time, so I don’t look at it, I just know it’s there” — and recalls the focus on her weight in the past. “They would write articles every week about how I was ‘pear-shaped.’”
“I’m going to be blunt — I feel like, ‘F*** you. F*** you people, like, come over here and do it better.’ You know what I mean? Like, what are you doing?”
A self-described “late bloomer”, Davis recalls how she didn’t want children for “the longest time” and, the opposite of Charlotte, dreamt of Broadway rather than having the traditional family model.
“Everyone [in the South] was, like, ‘Gotta get married.’ I was like, ‘Why?’ I felt rebellious about it. When I was young I thought that marriage seemed like the patriarchy.”
It’s clear by the end of this interview that Davis would run circles round sweet-as-pie Charlotte.
