Sarah Jessica Parker Talks 'Parade' Sex

Sarah Jessica Parker graces the cover of Parade and dishes about politics, parenting and, of course Sex! Here are some of the highlights from the interview:

On Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha not young anymore: “Their lives are much less frivolous. They can’t cope with their problems by putting on their sweats and staying up all night and ordering in food and gossiping about the men in their lives. There is less self-absorption but perhaps a little more self-awareness.”

On spending so much time with her 5-year-old son James Wilke: “I put him to bed every night. I get him dressed. I’m the one who gives him his toothbrush. I take him to school every morning. He’s very small, but his personality is 6 feet 4. I’m spending the whole summer with him out at our beach house.”

On being the stricter parent (her husband is Matthew Broderick): “Does it surprise anybody that I would be? It’s not that Matthew spoils him, but he just has a different way of parenting than I do. I was never spoiled. Oh, dear no. I was the baby of the family only for a wee time, and I was lucky to get any attention, let alone be spoiled. A few years ago, I found all our baby books. My two older brothers’ baby books were filled with pictures. Then we found mine, and it only had my name written in it. There was nothing else in there. Not one picture. So there you have it. I’ve been starved for attention ever since.”

Sex and the City: The Movie opens in theaters everywhere on Friday, May 30.
