Sarah Jessica Parker Covers 'InStyle' February 2014

Sarah Jessica Parker is colorful as can be in a Prada dress on the cover of InStyle magazine’s February 2014 issue, on newsstands Friday.

Here’s what the 48-year-old actress had to share with the mag:

On age appropriate fashion: “People should dress the way they want. Any rules for age or shape are silly. If you walk out the door feeling good about yourself, that’s what counts.”

On her words to live by: “The Golden Rule – do unto others as you would have them do unto you – that’s my religion, my dogma. As soon as my son could recite it back, I’d repeat it to him.”

On her success: “The real success happened after I was grown, and that saved me. I was appreciative of all of it, and continue to be – my gosh. I don’t think my success has ever defined me; it’s just this thing that I carry around and then shepherd in a hopefully graceful way, you know?”

On a possible Sex and the City reunion: “A part of me thinks there is one last chapter to tell. But timing is a peculiar thing. It isn’t a decision that can wait forever. I don’t want to have to wear muumuus!”
