Sarah Jessica Parker Opens Up About Her ‘Fatal Flaws’ and Family Life (Vogue August 2011)

Sarah Jessica Parker looks very happy posing with her small kids for Vogue August 2011 (By the way, it’s the Age issue!!!). In the interview for the edition the actress tells about her ‘fatal flaws’, strategic planning to keep everything in control and the difference between her and her famous character Carrie Bradshaw.

Sarah Jessica Parker hasn’t been on a Vogue cover since last year, so it’s a great pleasure to finally see her again on the August 2011 issue of the magazine. She looks beautiful and very, very elegant. The Sex And the City actress and the mother of three says her life isn’t very easy. Bouncing between making her family members happy and working on her career Sarah admits it’s like ‘avoiding icebergs’.

Family life takes a lot of time and Sarah considers it right to do ‘strategic planning’ to be able to realize what’s important and what’s not. She comments:

The internal lists, the children’s doctor’s appointments, the letters to write, the school projects. . . . What you have to do and how to get the kids from A to B, and whatever is required of you at your work. And maybe you can toss in friendships that need to be attended to. . . . The thing that’s most surprising to me is how much we do in a day.”

Although Sarah Jessica Parker has three nannies to help her with the kids she tells Vogue August 2011 that she and her husband Matthew Broderick are ‘pretty hands-on parents’:

We don’t have any live-in help. We’re pretty hands-on parents. That’s something that’s important to both of us, and we don’t shirk it, because what’s the point in having a family if you’re not going to really participate in it, you know?”

Being often compared and even taken for her character Carrie Bradshaw Sarah Jessica Parker says she is not like her at all:

Bradshaw’s life is nothing—nothing—like mine. I loved playing her, and it changed my life in lots of wonderful ways, but I’m not a crazy shoe lady, I don’t think about fashion all day long, although I have a great respect for the industry.”

Paparazzi seem to be the worst part of a celebrity life. Everything you do becomes known to everyone. Sarah Jessica Parker isn’t new to it and this is what she told Vogue US August 2011:

You do start to understand the behind-the-gate mentality, the getting in the car in your driveway but I can’t imagine living in seclusion. We flirted with it. We went outside the city and troubled all these Realtors and stood in these homes and fantasized, and then I kept picturing nine o’clock at night and… The beautiful thing about New York is, you have to expose yourself to other people the minute you step outside the door. There is no choice. And I love that.”

Sarah also reveals she has ‘fatal flaws’:

It’s kind of all I’ve known. I’m a bitter-ender. It’s potentially my fatal flaw that I do not give up on something. I will not rest. I work and work and work until I can no longer and someone has to remove me from the premises.”

By the way, the pictures inside the August 2011 issue of Vogue Magazine are amazing. Sarah Jessica Parker poses with her children in her kitchen, living-room and kids room. She is also photographed with her handsome husband. What do you think?
