Sarah Jessica Parker Talks "Girls"

Would "Girls" be the phenomenon it is today if "Sex & The City" hadn't come before it? Not according to Sarah Jessica Parker.

In an interview with Net-A-Porter's The Edit, Parker revealed that she believes "SATC" paved the way for Lena Dunham.



“HBO was very encouraging of the beyond-camera role I played, and I feel that had we not done it, I don't know that would have existed for 'Girls,'" she said. "It's a such a different way of thinking and it's not conventional.”

“I also think Dunham came along understanding her voice and with the support of a producing partner [Judd Apatow] experienced enough to say she is capable of this, she needs to be in charge of the story as it's her voice. I do feel 'Sex & The City's' success made that possible, and it would have been different otherwise.”
