Sarah Jessica Parker’s alter ego Carrie Bradshaw may be known for dishing out all the gossip when it comes to her personal life but the leading actress likes to keep to herself in the real world.

In a September issue of Harper’s Bazaar however, the Sex and the City star talked about her relationship with actor Matthew Broderick – her husband of 16 years.

“We didn't think of fame or money because, honestly, money was never part of the dream” she told the magazine.

“It was to work in theater, to be around those people whose work I was in total awe of. I never saw the trappings; nobody talked about being a celebrity.”

“So when our marriage came up in conversation, it wouldn't occur to us that we were obligated to respond to allegations or gossip. You have to be a bit circumspect, but you also have to take up a position, and you have to stick to it.

The star continued saying that she had to a certain element of reality to the situation:

"I love Matthew Broderick. Call me crazy, but I love him. We can only be in the marriage we are” said the 48-year-old.

“We're very devoted to our family and our lives. I love our life. I love that he's the father of my children, and it's because of him that there's this whole other world that I love."
