Quotes

 * Carrie: The one thing you have to remember about labels is that they only matter if you let them stick.


 * Carrie (to Tom Bradshaw): You don't get to decide what is and isn't important in my life.


 * Carrie: If I didn't define who I was and what I wanted, then someone else would.


 * Carrie: They say the Eskimos have 100 words for snow. That's nothing compared to the number of words we have for vagina. Rosebud, box, hooha, pink panther.


 * Carrie: I don't even know what Sebastian is except for maybe too cool for school.


 * Larissa: The most exciting men are the ones we can't have. The forbidden fruit. So delish.


 * Maggie: Are you waiting for me to be the crazy ex girlfriend?
