Notable Quotes:
On Following Your Passion: "When you feel something in your heart that you're passionate about, you can do anything. And it is. It's a question of just doing it, believing in yourself, reaching out to people. Everyone knows somebody who knows somebody who can help and support."
On Ski Fashion Philosophy: "You'll never, you almost never find me in black. I'm not going to a funeral. I'm going skiing. So I like bright colors and fun and I like to push the envelope, so it's always something different."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
