She admitted that it was thanks to her work on "Sex and the City" that she was able to reconsider her attitude towards age:
"When we started, I was already 40 years old. It was difficult for me, because I felt old for all these sexual things. I did not think that this role would "submit" to me. But I was wrong. Samantha changed me, her charisma destroyed age stereotypes in my mind. "
