Kristin Davis Net Worth

Kristin Davis's Quotes

• [on her character, Charlotte, from Sex and the City (1998)] She's really very funny. 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 think she has some themes, like wanting security, that many women relate to. That's what's so great about our show, plus it shows the different choices that women have.
• [on her character, Brooke, on Melrose Place (1992)] Oh my God, it was awful! One time I was in a department store and, as I was walking around, I could hear women whispering, "There's Brooke--that bitch!" I wanted to scream, "I'm not Brooke, I just play her on TV!"
• [on her childhood in South Carolina] 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 30 people [parents and kids] and we'd sit on the floor and listen to this beautiful music. I never appreciated it until I was grown up and realized how lucky I was to be exposed to so much, so young.
• [on motherhood] I'm open. Adoption is wonderful. I think there are many different ways to do it. I'm an only child, so it's hard to picture the whole multi-child situation. Cynthia [Cynthia Nixon] has two children and it is unbelievable the amount of work involved. I have the most respect for it in the world, but I'm not sure if I'm cut out for it.
• It's nice to be with someone, but I don't think you need to be in a relationship to feel complete. That would be really sad.
