Kim Cattrall recently said in a new interview that when she wed Mark Levinson in 1998, she decided to put her role as Samantha Jones on S=x and the City ahead of raising a family.

Along with Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon, Cattrall, 61, also appeared in the popular program.

During an appearance on Monday’s episode of Piers Morgan’s Life Stories, the actress, 61, talked openly about having thought about becoming a mother. She said that after she married her third husband Levinson, she considered beginning IVF treatments but ultimately decided against it due to the demanding shooting schedule for SATC, which debuted that June.

She stated: “That was my early 40s and I had just started filming S=x and the City, the chances of getting pregnant with these procedures was, everyone was talking about it.” She said that the demanding working hours had significantly influenced her choice not to conceive a kid.

“But I thought to myself, ‘wow I have 19 hour days on this series, I have weekends where I finish at Saturday morning. My Monday morning would start at 4.45am and go to one or two in the morning.”

‘How could I possible continue to do that, especially in my early 40s?And then I realised what a commitment it was just to the procedures.

“I thought I don’t think this is going to happen. It was the first moment, it was extraordinary, in my life where I thought maybe I’m just not going to do this.”

But Cattrall doesn’t think she lost out on the opportunity to play the mother role. She recalled thinking, “I thought, I have a place to be a mom here, not a biological mom but a mom and an auntie and a friend,” she said. “And that has really given me so much, as much as I give I get twofold back.” When asked if she feels maternal, Cattrall said, “Yes, I think it’s part of being a woman to have that. But obviously fate, timing, luck, destiny, I don’t know.”

Cattrall said that she was “never pals” with her SATC co-stars in the interview as well.

She said: ‘We’ve never been friends. We‘ve been colleagues and in some ways it’s a very healthy place to be because then you have a clear line between your professional life and relationship and your personal.

“They all have children and I am ten years older and since specifically the series ended I have been spending most of my time outside of New York so I don’t see them. The common ground that we had was the series and the series is over.”

‘It must have been at some event, I don’t even remember,’ Kim said when asked when she had last talked to her former co-stars.

When Piers inquired if it was years ago, said: ‘Got to be. And that’s another thing that’s really disappointing is that nobody ever picks up the phone and tries to contact you and say, ‘how you doing?’

Additionally, she earlier said that she believed SJP “should have been kinder” about the whole incident.

She continued, “To get any kind of negative press about something that I’ve been saying for almost a year of ‘no’ that I’m demanding or a diva, and this is really where I take to task the people from S=x and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker is that I think she could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer. I don’t know what her issue is.”

‘I think the thing that still bothers me is this feeling of being in some way made to be the baddie. I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects, to be thought of as some kind of diva is absolutely ridiculous.’

When Piers said people would be sad to hear Kim confirm rumours that she didn’t get on with her co-stars, Kim replied: ‘This is the irony of it, this is where we are in the reality of it. And that was the fantasy of it but this is the reality of it. I’m being incredibly honest about them.’

When asked whether she planned to speak with Sarah Jessica Parker again, Kim said, ‘I don’t think that we’re faking it. I think there is genuine affection and there has been over the years.’

‘This is extenuating circumstances and in the past I’ve felt, wow, especially with the fans I don’t want to in any shape or form ruin an ideal of it, because it does stand for empowerment and it does stand for women sticking up for each other, but not always.’

Fans have long been expecting to see Samantha (Cattrall), Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) team up once again for a new movie, which would follow 2008’s S=x and the City and 2010’s S=x and the City 2.
