SARAH JESSICA PARKER ON SEX SEQUEL

Hollywood star Sarah Jessica Parker would love to make a second Sex And The City movie. Only if she can find a balance between her careers as a mother and actress. Early reviews of the television show turned movie, have prompted the star to consider following it up with a sequel, but only if it doesn’t drag her away from young James Wilkie, her son with actor husband Matthew Broderick.When asked on Good Morning America on today, Parker said, "You’d have to ask my son… He’d have to be willing to let me be that diligent…"This last experience has been two years, and it’s been the real last year of my life professionally. And I’ve had to figure out how to make certain that he is well and good. But I’ve been absent in a lot of ways and it’s time for me not to be for a while." But she admits the real decision will be based on the first movie’s box office success: "Honestly, the truth of the matter is I think we’ve felt so privileged to arrive at this day, that we have not uttered the word (sequel).
