Sarah Jessica Parker is pure gold on the cover of Marie Claire’s June issue. She was joined inside the magazine by her Sex and the City 2 costars Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon, and Kim Cattrall. SJP and Kristin were also together for Monday’s Costume Institute Gala, which even brought out Chris Noth for a memorable moment. The four women weighed in on their wild ride through the series and movies, with SJP touching on style and their long workdays, while Kim and Kristin discuss their rumored conflicts and pasts. Highlights below:

SJP on the demands of working on the film: “When you’re on set, you’re working 90-hour weeks, you’re never home, you’re exhausted. There are times when all of us have been sensitive, and sometimes feelings get hurt. But I don’t have any regrets about how I’ve treated people.”

Kristin on how they used to let loose: “When we first started, we would all drive out to the Hamptons together at 4 a.m. on a Friday night after shooting ended and see the sunrise as we arrived. I love those memories.”

SJP on being influenced by Carrie’s style: “I’ve never revealed as much or been so daring or made quite as many triumphant mistakes as Carrie. But I’m now bolder than I would have been had I never played this part.”

Kim on the rumored infighting between the ladies: “The press has to put women in these boxes, rather than show them as the movie portrays them: working together and being powerful. Things just have to be explosive for no other reason then for people’s imaginations.”
