    I love her bright, refreshing attitude toward her difficult childhood. The fact that she was appreciative of it speaks volumes about gratitude.
  • I don't know why but she is so fascinating to me. Such an intelligent and beautiful person inside and out.
  • @blacklight57
    She is such a voice of reason and decency! Always! I love her so much! Every single person that I know that has met her says how wonderful and warm she always is!
  • @kari2704
    Sarah is so right and I do the same. Kids shouldn't be spoiled. They should appreciate and work for the things they want so when they are adults they will make smart choices.
  • @ladypicasso79
    Admirable and always presents herself to the public with class. Thank you Sarah for your words and supporting the arts !
  • @jackmac6965
    I agree. Happiness does not come from having everything you want.
  • @KristenLB
    People have often tried to judge SJP as if she's actually Carrie, because she does such a good job of playing her, but she has always seemed to me to be the most kind hearted, humble person who appreciates the smallest things. I refuse to believe she'd be anything other than that.
  • @blissfulbaboon
    "That was in the day when they still funded art programs". Sara Jessica Parker had known poverty as a child and it gave her great wisdom, probably some trauma too ....
  • @frfr-ps3qg
    She is so real, so relatable. Plus, an incredible actress.
  • @noamweizmann
    She’s incredible. So humble and so beautiful inside and out. I love what she said about withholding things from her children that they yearn for, so that when they achieve it, it will have so much more meaning to them. Someone who is simply handed things casually, will never know the true feeling of winning or achieving something you’ve always wanted.
