The entertainment industry is at a standstill.

The world is topsy-turvy and thats putting it mildly.

ButSarah Jessica Parkeris feeling optimistic.

And for Parker, that doesnt mean carving out time for a 10-step skin-care routine.

We are better and have more to contribute.

We are not of lesser value, but rather the contrary.

We are a huge, important, and influential part of life and industry and friendships and love… Like anything, it takes time to integrate ideas [about beauty] into our lives.

It takes time to chip away at old ideas and welcome new things.

I just don’t spend that much time [thinking about appearance].

I like to be graceful with myself.

I’m not delusional.

I know that age adds up, and that there are consequences to being 51, 52, 53.

Do I want to participate in stopping time?

[Get a] time machine?

What small effort can I make toward feeling okay?

Beyond that, it’s out of my hands.

That’s the way the world works.

Do I wish people were nicer to each other, especially women?

I have no interest after a while.

I just want to feel decent when I wake up.

I like these [RoC Skincare] products.

I have for a while now.

It’s nice to have products in life you really use and believe in.

I have two products from RoC that I’m very devoted to already.

I don’t understand 10 steps.

I don’t want to get involved in 10 steps.

I see the results.

I feel good about where we arrived.

[The moisturizer] has SPF, which, for lazy people like me, is good.

I want stuff that can [layer] well, that I could wear under base [makeup].

I’ve never done more than wash my face.

I think I’ve done three steps.

What I do is serum, moisturizer, and maybe one other thing.

I take most of what I have left over from my face and use it on my hands.

I think if it’s good for my face, it’s got to be good for my hands.

My hair is pretty much as it’s always been.

My face is my face.

It is what it is.

I’ve been going to the same colorist forever.

If I’m not working, I probably won’t see her for six, eight months easily.

So, I’m much more scheduled and obedient about that.

[My] hair care is the same.

I use Serge Normant’s Dream Big Instant Volumizing Spray.

I use honestly whatever shampoo.

It has a smell like heaven.

And one [tube] can last you three, four, five years.

You’re asking fewer questions about, Should I?

With age and experience, you feel more certain about your place in the world.
