Michael Patrick King Quotations

'Sex and the City' is about outsiders. Single girls as lepers, should have been married by now. It's the reason the whole thing took off.

The thing you can't let go of is gravity. The reality of gravity in writing. If someone says something really mean in a sitcom, and the next wave isn't a reaction to the reality of that, you start losing relatability. In a lot of romantic comedies, they throw out the rules of life.

Let there be no mistake. A gay man alone could never begin to replicate the inner workings of the female mind.

Every character when born is a stereotype.

I always like a good math solution to any love problem.

The first-time director thing is just another label somebody puts on you.

Seasons change, so do cities. People come into your life and people go, but it's comforting to know: the ones you love are always in your heart and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away.

The second episode of any new show can be tough. You have about a week to top the well-crafted and polished pilot episode that was written over six months.

Here's what happens - you create something in the moment that you feel will be good, and then... people's reactions to it or people referencing it years later, it's a compliment.

I really enjoy women and I totally understand and applaud the diversity that they have in terms of their emotions and intellects and vulnerability and strengths.
