I think certainly that looking for love is a big part of the show, but I think that if – there’s one thing that is different about ‘Sex and the City’ and the message that I think has resonated with viewers, especially women. It’s that you don’t need to get married. You don’t really need that love to be fulfilled. Darren Star Read Quote

In the moment when you’re doing a show, you’re thinking of that moment, but you don’t think of, ‘Here’s down the line how people will be relating to the characters.’ There’s something very universal about ‘Sex and the City’ that people are still tapping into, where every generation seems to be discovering for itself.

When I brought ‘Sex and the City’ to HBO, I wanted to do something independent, where I could be like, ‘I don’t care if anybody watches this thing. Just let me do something that I would love to see.’ Honestly, the success of ‘Sex and the City’ was what was most surprising to me. It was sort of like the anti-TV-show in my mind.
