Sarah Jessica Parker on her marriage to Matthew Broderick

Sarah Jessica Parker catches up with Harper's Bazaar USA to discuss her love for fashion and her marriage to Matthew Broderick.

If you have a subscription to Harper’s Bazaar USA then you’ll have just received the September issue, featuring Sarah Jessica Parker on the cover.

The actress well and truly achieved style icon status after playing Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw – the woman who made us all envy her shoe collection and walk-in wardrobe.

She has since gone on to work with some of fashion’s biggest names in fashion campaigns. Speaking about working with people in fashion she tells Harper’s Bazaar she enjoys collaborating. “We’ve all worked with complicated people and I always think that I can disarm them,” she says. “I love collaborating. I’m a great listener and learner, and I don’t think I know more than they do. I’m transparent.”

However, whilst she’s open and happy when it comes to fashion collaborations, her marriage is something else and she dislikes the attention she and husband Matthew Broderick have received over the past few years.

“Matthew and I come from a different time and place,” she tells the magazine. “When we were young people, all we ever wanted was to be good working actors. We didn’t think of fame or money because, honestly, money was never part of the dream. It was to work in theater, to be around those people whose work I was in total awe of. I never saw the trappings; nobody talked about being a celebrity. So when our marriage came up in conversation, it wouldn’t occur to us that we were obligated to respond to allegations or gossip. You have to be a bit circumspect, but you also have to take up a position, and you have to stick to it. I love Matthew Broderick. Call me crazy, but I love him. We can only be in the marriage we are. We’re very devoted to our family and our lives. I love our life. I love that he’s the father of my children, and it’s because of him that there’s this whole other world that I love.”
