"Do you really want to do TV?"
"making choices differently than [she] used to,"
"As a journeyman, you're trying to find work [where] you keep learning, you get better,"
"Maybe you get to travel. Hopefully you get paid, and you get to work with really interesting people ... but now ... I'm much more thoughtful in smaller ways about how I'll be spending my time."
Sarah Jessica Parker received the 2026 Carol Burnett Award in recognition of five decades of acting. She began acting around age 8 and held major roles in Annie on Broadway, the sitcom Square Pegs, and the films Footloose and Firstborn. Matthew Broderick presented the award and recalled questioning her about doing television. Parker achieved major success with Sex and the City, earning six Golden Globes and two Emmys. She now prioritizes projects that leave room for life off-set, balances acting with fashion, publishing, and wine ventures, and describes choosing slower-paced, flexible work as a hard-earned luxury.
