Not everyone was happy about Carrie Bradshaw's happy ending with Mr. Big in Sex and the City's finale—including series creator Darren Star, whose comment that 'it ultimately betrayed what it was about, which was that women don't ultimately find happiness from marriage,' went viral last month.
But Sarah Jessica Parker, a.k.a. Carrie, had a different perspective when asked what she thought of Star's remarks during an interview with Yahoo Style.
'As I recall, the way Carrie and Big married was something she wanted rather than a feeling that life was slipping away and she best settle quickly,' the actress responded.
'I don't think of it as someone diminishing herself by letting a man marry her—it always felt that she had arrived at that on her own. But the beauty is we can all have lots and lots of opinions about lots of choices Carrie made that we object to or that we stand by. If that's Darren's feeling, I think it's interesting!'
So, a diplomatic way of saying: "I'm still Team Big."
