Sarah Jessica Parker is best known for her role as Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and the City, reprising the character in multiple movies and even the sequel series And Just Like That..., but she wasn't always on board with it. In fact, she "panicked" after landing the part and even considered walking away from the show.

Parker reunited with her SATC costar Kristin Davis on the May 12 episode Davis' podcast Are You A Charlotte?, where the longtime pals reflected on the beginnings of the beloved series, including her initial hesitation about remaining on the show amid worries about "doing the same thing over and over and over again."

After SATC got picked up, Parker started to panic that it would limit her ability to work how she wanted and constrain her to one role rather than flitting between jobs like a "journeyman." She was used to bouncing between doing plays and readings to having a part in a movie, never in one place for too long.

"The idea of a television series meant that I couldn't do all those things, and that I would get in the same car every day and it just kind of felt like somebody was putting their hand over my mouth or something," she said. "It was just very weird, and you know, absolutely wrong..."

She met with agents to discuss her worries, and after talking it out and meeting with more people who signed on to the show, Parker started to have a different outlook.

"All of a sudden, it didn't feel like the same thing. It felt like a brand new, exciting, completely unknown, like somebody was offering me a menu of food that I'd only ever heard about," she said. "So it went from being this like, kind of oppressive idea to this like endless possibilities."

That idea was reinforced following her first day on set.

"I never looked back and I was never not happy to be there," she said. "There was no place I would rather have been than on our set every single solitary day."

On Are You A Charlotte?, Davis shares "untold stories and all the behind the scenes" tales from the iconic series that "helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex." According to the podcast description:

"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."
