《欲望都市》（Sex and the City）是一部女性題材的美國電視劇，但是她的創造者和靈魂卻是一位男性。
Michael Patrick King是《慾望都市》的製片人，這部電視劇的製作由他一手負責，故事情節的發展他說了算，所有劇組人員也都是由他挑選僱傭。從第二季開始，每一季的第一集和最後一集都是由他編劇和導演的。他才是名副其實的《慾望都市》的作者。
下面就是他談到的這部電視劇的一些基本構思和人物走向。
這些內容是我根據《慾望都市》第六季DVD的花絮部分聽寫的，可能有些地方不太準確，但大意不會錯。
1. 關於Carrie
剛開始的時候，Carrie真的覺得她都明白了。這部電視劇的樂趣就是看她不停地犯錯，看她在這些錯誤中學習。她可以永遠不去關心Mr. Big的真名，因此她也就可能永遠無法知道他和她之間到底是什麼關係，這帶來了他們之間的很多矛盾。
When Carrie Bradshaw started, she really thought she knew it all. The joy of the series has been watching her make more and more and more mistakes, and seeing her learn from these mistakes. She can never know his (Mr. Big) name, therefore she can never know what is inside them, which makes great intension.
2. 關於Charlotte
Charlotte也給這部電視劇帶來了很多樂趣。她想去尋找真愛，而不是它們看上去的樣子。最終，她終於明白了什麼是男人，什麼是真心，什麼是心心相印。
The fun of the series has been to look Charlotte around so much. She started to look at the truth of something, rather than at the label of something. Now she looks at the man, the heart and the soul.
3. 關於Miranda
Miranda有意思的地方是，她是她們中最會把人拒之千里的一個。所以當我們決定要使她變得更包容後，我們就必須讓她去生一個孩子。因此我們費盡心思，構思了她與Steve之間那段不尋常的感情故事。看她如何變軟，真的是很有趣。讓一個硬的人變軟，那是多麼困難的事啊？
The fun of Miranda has been she was the one who pushed the people away the most. As we put out a goal to find out a way to make her open up, we must give her a baby. It is very complicated to figure out an unconventional love relationship with Steve Brady. It has really been fun to see her become soft. How much hard it is to be soft when it is to be hard?
4.關於Samantha
從我們一開始拍這部戲，Samantha的行為就是最不羈的。這些年來，我們一直保持她的這個特點，因為這就是我們喜歡她的地方。她是一頭獅子，勇敢的人，也是一個戰士。海誓山盟對她來說是可笑的，但是她內心也渴望愛。
Samantha started most away as we just casted. And over years, we have maintained her registered, because that is what we love about her. She is a lion. She is brave. She is a warrior.
5. 關於全劇
人們剛開始看的時候，會覺得這部電視劇都與性和時尚的東西有關。但是慢慢地，幾年下來，人們開始發現她實際上講的還是愛、還是男女之間的相處，以及性。從根本上，這個故事表現的是一個戰場，在那裡人們試圖尋找愛，不管愛的是他人，還是你自己。
People found it always just about sex, always just about the fashion. And slowly over the years, people started to see it really about love, and relationships, and sex, and basicly the battlefield of trying to be in love whether being with other person, or with yourself.
