people love to like no like tolearn stuff. So I'm hungry for knowledge.
(02:13):

I have nothing to do with nodamn science. I just think that people
are shaped based on how they havelived, right. You know what I'm
saying. You've got bad parents.You have bad people, right, you
know, and the fact that you'rea good person, mean you had good
parents. That's it. But soShaggy, You've had a lot of artists
(02:35):
going up. What's different here whenit comes to be cause I know I'm
becoming, you know when it comesto DJs. I talk to my guys,
but then they only want to hearThey go, how did you get
to number ten? They don't wantto hear the one, two, three,
four? They just want to hearnumber ten? Right. I don't
think you could get to number tenlike that. You got to go to
the one too. And if youdo go straight to number ten, then
you're not gonna you're not gonna appreciateit, right, So she's actually taking
(02:57):
the steps in doing the two,three, four and five and all that.
You know what. She she's beendoing this for for a while now,
you know. Costa Costi was theone that was working with her,
and he asked me to write acouple of songs. I say, bring
her to Miami. She came toMiami, sat with the team, me,
Shane and everybody, and we satdown and we wrote a couple of
songs and move just happened to beone of them songs. But what I
(03:20):
like about her is that I tookher out of her comfort zone and have
her to do like some dance allyou know, those cadences of dance.
I mean, I have to thingwith him on there, and she kind
of she was open to do it, you know. And she was never
late. She's always on time.She's always energetic, no matter how long
the vocal take. She never complains. And I just thought, those are
qualities that I that I like andshe you know. And the other day

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.
